Why are whole eggs not recommended for Pitta? I always thought the yolks were very nutritious and health giving?
Why are they not good for Kapha?
IF a vata person, who struggle to digest meats, eat 4 or more egg whites a day, won't that help them increase their protein? Or should they stick to 1 whole egg per day as the serving size suggested on this page?
We would generally recommend Vata types use the whole egg - whites and yolk.
Generally eggs are considered too heavy for Kapha types.

His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia.

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
