    With a little practice you'll get the hang of it. Crack the shell and break it into 2 half then gently move the yolk from one two the other. Every morning I make an omelet with 1 whole egg and 2 whites. It gives me a full meal without all the calories or cholesterol.
    Also with practice you get good at flipping an omelet. (but that is another thread)

    If you are doing this to cut back on sodium then eat the whole egg, and just eat cleaner. fresh veggies and fruits, lean meats, whole unprocessed grains. stop eating things that come out of a box or can and you will see you intake of sodium drop to under half of the "daily limit" that is suggested. no need to separate eggs if you do cleaner eating :)

    I do this pretty much every day, passing the yolk back and forth between the cracked shells. I don't like egg yolk - it has nothing to do with the nutrional value for me. I eat 4-5 egg whites pretty much every morning. Non-stick skillets to NOT leg egg whites unless you cook them at a low temperature for about 12 minutes AFTER making sure to heat the skillet before putting the whites in. If I'm in a hurry, I do use a little wee bit of cooking spray.

    Egg yolks also contain arachidonic acid.

    Good thing or bad thing??
    I'm going to guess good, even though it sounds like spider juice.

    It's very bad, it leads to inflammation of tissue. But on the other hand, nothing is safe anymore. It's all concentration dependent. If you eat an egg or 2 a day no big deal, but if you eat like a dozen then you can have a problem.

    The worst form is vegetable oils.

    Arachidonic acid isn’t the boogeyman that it’s made out to be. It comprises a necessary component of cellular membrane structure and supports everything from dermal integrity to muscular growth and repair. It’s no accident that arachidonic acid is present in breast milk. AA plays a critical role in brain development, and a whole host of research comparing AA-supplemented formula with non-supplemented formula underscores this connection. Likewise, AA supports continuing role in neurological health as demonstrated in studies involving older adults. When it comes to arachidonic acid, the general principle holds: it’s all about overall balance and healthfulness.:flowerforyou:
