People love to argue about yolks. “They’re fat bombs!” But no one argues about carbs. Because there aren’t any to argue about.
The white is pure protein and water. The yolk is fat, vitamins, and a whisper of flavor. Together? They’re a carb-free dream team.
You could eat a dozen eggs, and your carb count stays at rock bottom. It’s the perfect food for anyone who forgot their lunch or hates spreadsheets.
But What About the Tiny Amounts?
Every once in a while, a lab tech gets weird. They say, “Well, actually, a large egg has 0.4 grams of carbs.” Stop it. That’s less than a breath mint.
Here’s a fun fact: that trace amount comes from the sugars naturally in the white and yolk. But it’s so small, your body burns it in the time it takes to say “breakfast.”
So for all practical purposes? Zero. Zip. Nada. Your keto diet just got a high-five.
