Here’s another myth busted: many believe the yolk is unhealthy because it’s fatty. In reality, the yolk provides complementary protein, along with essential fat-soluble vitamins. The white, on the other hand, contains most of the pure protein with no fat.

When Is the Best Time to Eat Protein?
A common gym question: should you grab a protein shake right after working out?
Not useless, says Dr. Patrice Cani, a biomedical scientist — but it depends:
“We know that the body absorbs protein best within 30 to 60 minutes after exercise. That’s when it rebuilds what’s been strained.”
However, this approach mainly applies to elite athletes. For the average person, a balanced meal is more than enough.
