What is the nutrients of egg yolk?
An egg is really three separate foods, the whole egg, the white, and the yolk, each with its own distinct nutritional profile.
A whole egg is a high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-quality protein food packaged in a high-calcium shell that can be grounded and added to any recipe. The proteins in eggs, with sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids, are 99 percent digestible, the standard by which all other proteins are judged.
The egg white is a high-protein, low-fat food with virtually no cholesterol. Its only important vitamin is riboflavin (vitamin B2), a visible vitamin that gives egg white a slightly greenish cast. Raw egg whites contain avidin, an antinutrient that binds biotin a B complex vitamin formerly known as vitamin H, into an insoluble compound. Cooking the egg inactivates avidin.
An egg yolk is a high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-protein food, a good source of vitamin A derived from carotenes eaten by the laying hen, plus vitamin D, B vitamins, and heme iron, the form of iron most easily absorbed by your body.
One large egg has 5 g Eat (1.5 g saturated fat), 212 mg cholesterol, 6 g protein, 950 IU vitamin A (19 percent of the RDA for a man, 23.7 percent of the RDA for a woman), and 0.72 mg iron (4.8 percent of the RDA for a woman of childbearing age).
One large egg white has 4 g protein, but no Eat or cholesterol. One large egg yolk has 6 g fat (1.7 g saturated fat), 272 mg cholesterol, 3 g protein, and 970 IU vitamin A (19.4 percent of the RDA for a man, 24 percent of the RDA for a woman).
The most nutritious way to server egg is with extra whites and fewer yolks to lower the fat and cholesterol per serving.

How many grams of fat should a 10 year old have daily?
Kids older than two years of age should eat no more than 30% total fat of their daily total calorie intake. For example, the Mayo Clinic recommends that girls between 4-8 take in between 1200-1800 calories a day depending upon their age, weight, and activity level. This means that if my active 6 year old daughter eats about 1500 calories a day, a little less than 500 of those calories should be from fat. Labels will show total calories and fat from calories per serving, which helps make this tricky equation easier.
How can you identify a healthy person?
From my basic knowledge I would say a healthy person isn't just one who is energised or perhaps has glowing skin and hair (although you can still be healthy even if you suffer with acne etc.). They also think positively and aren't always down about themselves. Being down is said to lower the immune system so you are more prone to illness etc.
Someone who is healthy eats balanced diet because it includes all the nutrients you need. You have to eat a good amount, obviously not too much or little.
Things like brushing teeth the normal amount of times a day can make you appear healthy.
So there are different aspects of healthiness, I hope I helped :)
