Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if there is a difference between the egg whites that you can buy in the cartons...and the egg whites in actual eggs? This may be a stupid question.. but i am just curious.
Thanks

They are more expensive and missing the yummy yolk1 -
I just use egg whites from the egg by removing the yolk. I use to buy the carton of egg whites but it was much more expense. And MFP you can plug in you egg whites and I believe it's 16 calories. '
Save the money and just remove the yolk on your own.0 -
If you're chucking the yolks, then the price can often be pretty similar it seems, maybe even less if you buy a big bottle (for the UK.)
Did buy a carton once, but I usually go for the cheaper eggs and if I am really tight on calories, the dog is happy! (Apart from the one time I chucked one at him, he got distracted by the front door opening and it splatted on his head - he wasn't amused, though I was ).2 -
Eat the yolks. Other than the protein, all the nutrition is in the yolks. The old way 'yolks are bad' was based on bad science from the 70's and was debunked about 15 years ago. The entire egg is extremely healthy. (except the shell of course3

Yep, just more expensive. I love over-easy eggs! I make them fit my macros.0

I literally had no idea they sold egg bits not in shells...1

I personally prefer the taste of the white from an egg. I used to buy the cartons because it's actually pretty much the same price for the white, but the taste and texture are just off to me. I feed the yolks to my dogs every morning and they love them (dogs don't have issues with cholesterol the way people do and I firmly believe its part of why they're so soft and shiny).1

The egg whites in cartons come from broken eggs, they're pasteurized. So you could eat them raw if you wanted.1

Shell = calcium ...and crunchy!

As others have said this was debunked years ago. The cholesterol from eggs is not bad for you unless you have a condition that makes it so. Here is a link to a great article that explains it.

Most other articles are just spouting the American Heart Association line which is outdated.0 -
Egg whites in the carton have preservatives and I don't want to eat chemicals. I prefer a real egg.0

....and so the spiral begins...
Apparently there's chemicals in real eggs too!
Yes it seems some how they're managing to sell us eggs where they haven't even broken the shell with chemicals in!
No wonder I got so fat before!0 -

uh yeah..I get that...the point was how every thread on this board has to turn into some variation of the same tired argument.
In your rush to look brilliant and witty, you jumped to the wrong conclusion.
The chemical argument is always a good one though....there are chemicals in anti-freeze too....why don't you drink a gallon and get back to us with the results.0 -
Sorry about that; forgot I was on a predominately US website!

Waste of money, stopped buying them years ago. Now I just buy a carton of eggs.0

A lot of good vit. in the egg yolks, B-12 etc. I use Organic eggs, vegetarian fed Hens,and free range. I like the idea of a Happy Hen eating a healthy diet and not some animal by product and stuck in a cage all their lives. I have seen jars of egg whites in one of the stores I go to, you got to wonder though, what kind of preservatives ( ? ) in them.0
