No, egg yolks are actually pretty healthy. They're higher in calories than egg whites. But as long as you account for the calories it's fine.0

the yolks it makes me said when people only eat the whites, I want all the protein . No reason to cut them out unless your doctor has advised you to . 0 -
yes they are. I saw several egg yolks robbing a bank the other day. It's terrible. Something needs to be done!
serious answer: no. eat the yolks if you want to, unless there is a medical reason for you not to0 -

Yes, one of the few foods that have the amino acid that fights bad cholesterol (won't find it in the whites)
"University of Connecticut study that showed that a group of men in the study that ate 3 eggs per day for 12 weeks while on a reduced carb, higher fat diet increased their HDL good cholesterol by 20%, while their LDL bad cholesterol stayed the same during the study. However, the group that ate egg substitutes (egg whites) saw no change in either and did not see the improvement in good cholesterol (remember that higher HDL levels are associated with lower risk of heart disease) that the whole egg eaters did.

No! The yolks contain most of the nutirition. To keep the calories down, it's really good to have some whole eggs and some just whites, like in an omelete maybe 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites. Whatever. Egg yolk got a bad rep with cholesterol, but as far as I know it contains the good kind of cholesterol (I guess there are two kinds). Everything in moderation.0

Egg yolks are yummy, especially sunny side up where you can dip your toast into the yolk0

You should read "The Wheat Belly" book...It's all about how what people think are "bad" aren't ...The book focuses on how grains can throw off your weight loss. I have increased my dairy and eat a hardboiled egg for breakfast 2-3 times a week. These are the weeks I see the most weight loss.0

I love eggs. I believe they are good at heart.0

Only if you have high cholesterol and eat way too many eggs. I've read somewhere that if you DO have issues with cholesterol you can have like four eggs a week or something (which is so little :sad: makes me feel bad for people with high cholesterol).0

too much of everything is bad. ALL IN MODERATION IS GOOD, if you are within your fat intake limits for the day enjoy and eat it, once a day is perfectly fine.0 -
This again... NO, they are not bad, they are nutritious and tasty. ESPECIALLY duck eggs!!0

The whole egg is the most complete protein. Eggs are great. In the 1980s people put raw eggs into protein drinks instead of protein powder.0

I feel sad when people don't eat egg yolks.

^^^This. There are plenty of micro nutrients in the yolks that you can't get in the whites. Nothing at all wrong with them. If the fat doesn't fit your macros just have one or two with your whites for the benefit of both.0 -

The yolk of the egg actually contains 14 vitamins and minerals that essential to HUMAN BRAIN FUNCTION! So yes...unless you have a personal issue with cholestrol (which I still dont blame eggs for anyway) then I would highly recommend you take advantage of the brain power that little yellow yolk can give you!!!0

I will take all of your extra egg yolks, for delicious creme br-SCIENCE. Yes, science.0

I am a registered dietitian. Not sure where your cousin is going to school but I eat eggs (whole eggs) like nobody's business and my cholesterol levels are awesome! For the record, not all dietitian's agree or have the same opinions about various topics. Your cousin will become more seasoned and learn even more when she enters the field. Doesn't mean she'll stop throwing away the yolks though. I've known plenty of dietitians that get the eye roll from me when they start to speak. I also eat full fat cheese. GASP. Sorry, but in my professional and well-educated opinion I believe most foods have a place in our diets and that includes full fat cheese so long as it fits in my fats for the day. And eggs! I even eat full fat cheese on my eggs! Whoop! YUM!
P.S. How can she be studying nutrition and not learn about all the wonderful nutrients in the yolk? Eat the whole thing for maximum nutritional benefit unless you have a medical reason to do otherwise (which very few people truly do).0
