    Whole eggs, both duck and chicken. To me, the yolk is the filling part.
    I have them as a snack, and only have 1 a day usually anyway.

    eggs all the way. I tried egg beaters and I liked them for probably about 2 weeks then they started getting to me. Egg whites just disgust me. Gotta have that yolk.

    Egg Whites and Egg Beaters are the same. Its ok to eat regular eggs too. Protein. Its what you eat with them that is the problem, lol.

    Egg Beaters of course - why would you not? All the health benefits and taste of eggs without all the cholesterol and calories - they are a freakin' godsend! They are made from real egg whites anyway!

    1 real egg with 1 or 2 egg beaters makes a great omelette. . . hard to tell the difference too. I don't always have egg beaters around, so sometimes I will give the dogs one of the yolks. Wish I could have them both though. The calories and cholesterol add up fast with the yolks.

    EGGS all the way! Yolks and all.

    We don't really have 'egg beaters' in Australia but it seems very strange to me!

    I saw them in Woolies the other day and had a look ... this was on the way to getting my usual 24 eggs for the week. :)

    Eggs, whole for me. Love 'em.

    I LOVE eggs! I eat all 3 depending on what I'm in the mood for or what I'm making. I buy the egg whites in a carton, just because it's quick and easy when I want just whites. I also buy egg substitutes (Egg Beaters or generic brands). Sometimes I will mix 1 whole egg with the carton egg whites.

    All three :). I use a lot of eggs and egg whites as protein sources. I like whole eggs in moderation, but I eat eggs too much to eat that many whole eggs. I prefer whites to cook with and to make into omelets with veggies and stuff, but I'll use egg beaters in a pinch.

    I eat both whole eggs and just the whites. Just depends. Wouldn't touch egg beaters though... too much added crap and unnatural. Why not just have the real thing for a bit more calories.

    Less than 1% of the following ingrediants: Beta Carotene, salt, onion powder, vegetable gums
    Vitamins and minerals: Calcium, iron, Vitamin E, Zinc, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, Vitamin D3, Biotin

    Serving size - 3Tbsp (about one egg)
    Calories 25
    Fat - 0
    Cholesterol - 0

    By comparison here is a real egg: (source - http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/117/2)
    Calories 211
    Fat - 14g
    Cholesterol - 577mg

    Lovin' my egg beaters!
