I want to prove them wrong that it's not bad for our health. Are there any relevant studies i can print out to have them read or what should i tell them. I prefer to have factual scientific studies to support my claims because my parents just won't listen to me.

Please help me out here people!

Egg white has zero fat or cabohydrate. It is pure protein (and I might add perfectly complete with 100% Biological Value rating and 100% Amino Acid Scoring). It is, as a matter of fact, the reference protein against which all other proteins are rated.

Wow, your parents are incredibly uninformed when it comes to nutrition.

Go to calorie king, or fitday.com and look up egg whites and print it out and show it to them.

Just ignore people like that and keep on doing what you need to do.
