    I would beat the whites into stiff peaks, add a little flour plus cheese and veggies, or else Splenda and cocoa, and bake up some souffles. I could eat those all day.

    Hi, so I've been trying to follow Jamie Easons live fit trainer program and the diet calls for 5 egg white in morning and at night, I usually eat 2 egg white omlette and tat itself I gulp. I'm not sure how to manage 5 egg whites twice a day. How do you all eat your egg whites. Any ideas?

    I eat the whole egg and to add volume and additional protein without the calorie hit, I add egg whites from a carton. Basically I have 2 whole eggs every morning and I poor in the equivalent of two eggs from my egg white carton...

    but it's not really the equivalent of two eggs if you're pouring from a carton, since you know, all the nutritious stuff from that delicious yellow circle isn't there.

    Eggs have such a bad rap from bad science.

    Besides, how can you not want to eat these cute little guys.

    To the replies getting way off track about yolk vs white, sometimes a diet plan isn't just simply about staying within a caloric budget! If macro splits are a concern, and they should be, egg whites definitely have a place at the table (literally and metaphorically). Egg whites are an amazing food pick for high protein:calorie ratio.

    OP, to make egg whites more palatable without messing up macro or calorie splits too much, try mixing in some of these! Rotate around until you find a few you like.

    -- HOT SAUCE! find your favorite and put that ish on everything, yo
    -- salsa
    -- lemon pepper
    -- garlic
    -- paprika
    -- tarragon ( + goat cheese if you can fit it into your plan, so good)
    -- diced onions

    edit to add some more ideas:
    -- cinnamon (don't knock it til you try it)
    -- red pepper flakes
    -- Mrs. Dash (be sure to drink a lot of water to account for the sodium)
    -- diced jalapenos
    -- cajun seasoning
    -- cumin
    -- turmeric
    -- pretty much anything in your spice cabinet, go nuts!

    I've also heard about this, but have never tried it.. I'm not quite this intense about my diet: flavored egg whites

    I always have at least 4 for breakfast. I eat it in various ways - veggie scramble, sandwiches, omelets, on the side.

    Can I have your yolks? I don't get the point of eggs without the delicious yolks.
    A lot of low fat low cal protein. I love real eggs too but they don't always fit into the day.

    I usually just make an egg white omelette with 4 or 5 eggs. Its a bit much but lots of protein and not many calories is a winning combo. Yolks are gross anyway :-)

    So I know there will be ranting about salmonella (even though the odds of getting it from an egg have dropped to almost zero these days) but I used to throw a couple of them raw into a fruit smoothie. It actually can sort of improve the texture and there is absolutely no taste.

    I could see it grossing someone out in concept, but if it doesn't bug you, they really are great that way.

    @FoCoAlphaNerd‌ I agree. I've been adding raw eggs to smoothies and protein shakes for years and never had a problem. It makes them so much creamier.

    A one that isn't cold, is hardly a one at all. Eggs without yolk, but what do you dip your toast in?

    Double deuce for the Strong Bad reference!

    This is almost exactly what I do. It's not wasteful because the yolks are sold off separately for baking purposes or other uses.

    Well, for the rants about salmonella, it's easy to home pasteurize eggs, so that's not even an issue anymore.

    Egg yolks have cholesterol, and some people, like me, don't like the taste of them. I boil eggs and eat just the whites.

    Ditto.

    I hard boil my eggs and eat them as snacks (maybe one yolk here and there) and then I also add my egg whites to salads and wraps.

    I do this too for omelets. I'll add a bit of carton egg white if frying or scrambling too. BUt I'm not going to down 10 egg whites a day, just.... no lol.
