In an egg, the white is basically all protein and the yolk is basically all fat (there may be trace amounts of each in the other, and a tiny bit of carbs is also in there somewhere). A large egg white contains about 6.5 grams of protein, or about 26 calories (6.5 gm X 4 calories/gram of protein). You can check other sizes of eggs here:http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calorie…

im so skinny and im 15 and i want to start getting s bit more muscley, not arnold schwarzenegger sort, just a bit bigger , i know all about weight training and nutrition but i just want to make sure its good for my health, also are supplements good for my health like protein shakes. because i might buy this on saturdayhttp://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa…

For example it will read: Total Fat-10 g, Sat. Fat- 3 g, Trans- 0 g Monounsaturated- 3 g, Polyunsaturated- 2. What is the other grams of fat not listed? Is it the healthy omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids?

I can’t find it. I especially want to know the calories and fat percent, although I would like to know other nutrition facts also.

I’m studying which supplements would be best for me, but I have a case where I get no info about which D is included and a case where only one of those is.
Can a body change one vitamin D to any other or can it function on it’s best with just one of them?
Or am I to get those other Ds by dietary intake/sunlight exposure (I’m not keen on exposing myself to sunlight intentionaly, though, but I might consider it if I coudln’t balance my nutrition any other way, of course.) in case I don’t find favorable supplements?
Thank you.

When I say “nutrition claims”, I’m talking about the things they put on the Nutrition Facts label. I would be very grateful for some help.

They’re so good!
Seriously though, from this website:http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/fr…
it seems, aside from vitamins D and K, there aren’t any vitamins or nutrients that you can’t get from eating fruits. Supplementing a fruit diet with meats and carbohydrates, and maybe some daily multivitamins, nuts, could it be done? My point is… I don’t really like vegetables (!).
Any ideas?

I am interested in possibly becoming a dietition or nutritionist and was wondering what the best schools in Michigan are that offer those degrees online.

OKay,so if the Nutrition fact doesn’t include a partcular category, such as Trans Fat, does that mean it the product doesn’t have trans fat?
thanks!
