    Throw the whites away and eat the yolks.

    Why would you do that? Makes 0 sense... Eat the whole thing.

    Egg yolk is one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D.

    Hating on eating egg whites is almost as bad as scare mongering about egg yolks. Both are stupid.

    I buy egg whites in the carton. Search the database for Lucerne (Safeway brand) 100% liquid egg whites or Egg Beaters egg whites. Egg yolks are okay to eat as well, but they have more calories. I usually have about 1/4 cup of egg whites or more plus a whole egg. The yolk has valuable nutrients and the whites are a rich source of protein, but no fat.

    I have seen other posts from people in the UK saying the egg whites aren't available there, but I found this:

    Fat doesn't make you fat :)

    Eat the yolk if it tastes good to you.

    No harm in it

    average large egg = only 70calories

    Packed w/ nutrients

    There's no such thing as "maxing out" on any specific macro while weight gaining. Eat the whole egg, the extra nutritional benefit far outweighs the 4 grams of fat.

    I like eggs. If you are worried about calories or whatever. I mix one large egg yolk and all and 1 beater that way you get some color and more flavor.

    If I just boil eggs and throw the yolk away.

    From an average egg how much calories would 1 egg white likely contain?

    I think in 100g of an egg there is 147 cals - but how much of that is the yolk?

    One egg = 70 calories.

    Most of the goodness is in the yolk.


    There is more to weightloss and nutrition than just calories.

    ^^ correct. eat the yolk dammit.

    i'm on a weight gain diet but at 100g of fat, do you not think that is a little too much?

    if ur on a weight gain diet no need to be concerned... just make sure you get adequate protein and minimum fat requirements which is like around 50g (again depends on bodyweight) and then have a caloric surplus from whatever other calories you want just dont go overboard on a surplus for minimal fat gains.... eat the whole egg

    I sometimes add two or three egg's worth of egg whites (twochicks) to a couple of whole eggs when I make an omelette, it makes it a lot more filling for not many more calories. :smile:
