    dont worry about butter being more calorific than oil, it is actually the other way around:
    butter - 35 cal per tsp
    olive oil - 39.8 cal per tsp
    so, enjoy your eggs, yolk and all, even when eating out!

    I was throwing my out, until I learned about using them as a facial mask to help with acne prone skin, so I've been using them for that and noticed a vast improvement in my skin. To those that feed them to your dogs, do you cook the yolks first or give them raw?

    Dietary cholesterol has pretty much zero impact on blood serum cholesterol for the vast majority of people. This whole myth was debunked long ago, but for whatever reason still persists. Dietary cholesterol is largely esterified...esterified cholesterol cannot be absorbed by the body. To boot, your liver makes infinitely more cholesterol than you could ever consume in your diet...for the vast majority of people with cholesterol issues, this is the issue...their liver makes too much of it.

    Also, the fat in the egg yolk is healthy and dietary fat is an essential macro nutrient. Dietary fat does not make you fat. Man, I wish the 80s would end already.

    If you are going to throw away any part of the egg, make it the white. The yolk is where all the good stuff is. :smile:

    I usually eat the whole egg, but if I bake or cook something that requires only the yolk, or only the eggwhite, I save the other part in a container and scramble it up along with a whole egg the next day for breakfast.
