eggs whole Vs. whites

Over the course of the day, I usually limit myself to 3 whole eggs. However, for breakfast, I generally eat one whole egg with a bunch of egg whites (from the carton) for volume. It fills me up, is tasty, and doesn't leave me over my fat limit at the end of the day.0

I like the way you replied. Your reasons for eating fewer whole eggs are good ones (regarding caloric intake and macro nutrient balance). It's also good that you're eating whole eggs as well. Nicely done!
As far as cholesterol, there's some interesting discussion regarding dietary cholesterol, and serum cholesterol in the 'worst food myth you've ever heard' thread. The cholesterol in whole eggs has actually been found to lower 'bad' serum cholesterol levels.
I really wish they would force medical doctors to use progressive continuing education, rather than allowing them to simply relearn what they already learned, and have it count for their CE credits. Perhaps then...things like the absolutely useless BMI chart, and whole eggs having a 'bad rep'...would disappear into history where they should be.0
