Ug, I've heard this too from other people. I just CAN'T eat an egg white alone...just nasty...the yolk is the best part to me...I think it should be fine to eat the whole egg. I do.0

Some people don't eat yolk because the fat is in the yolk and they don't want that fat. However....yolk contains good healthy fat. The fat your body and brain needs.
I eat all parts of an egg almost everyday, several a day. I LOVE eggs.0 -
I sometimes eat 4-6 a day, and nothing wrong with my serum levels.0

Most of the protein is in the white, all the cholestoral and fat is in the yolk. and i eat a LOT of eggs. trying to build muscle. so i eat the yolk of maybe 4 out of 18 eggs. the rest i dump. if ur only eating 1 egg a day then eat the yolk. nicest part. if ur eating them like me then dump em
Fair enough. Maybe all the egg white only eaters I've noticed are doing the same? (building muscle). I eat whole eggs, don't find whites alone appetising (unless they're in a cake ). Feel bad for the chickens throwing out all those yolks though...I'd make them into a custard or something. Wait...0 -
eggs are great, I have free range chooks and plenty of beautiful eggs, im a low carber so I eat 1 - 4 eggs every day yolk too, new research shows their great dont worry about the 80's nonsence, enjoy!0

Why hate on fat and egg yolks. Great stuff. On what planet is fat bad?0 -

And exactly this0 -
There's nothing wrong with egg yolks. The calorie content is not that different from a second white. If you buy the right brand, they can be a good source of omega 3s, and they contain key enzymes that help your body metabolize the protein in the white.0

Eggs are a HUGE part of my life. Filling, low cal, low carb and high protein. You can eat em scrambled, fried, boiled, devilled, made into an omelet etc. Eggs got a bad rap in the 70/80's and some people have no cared to keep up with the science! Hurrah for runny egg yolks!
OMG I LOVE RUNNY YOLKS. Especially with a bit of wholemeal bread to dip into them!0 -
I have chickens, so i have a LOT of eggs. (VERY free range, organic)
a lot of mornings (right now in fact) i scramble 3 egg whites with one whole egg. It's filling and gives me protein, but not the calories. I don't care about anything else. I cook the yolks and give them to the dogs0 -
I eat them!0

I think a lot of the reason is calories. When I was tighter on my calories I'd eat whole eggs but if I was making an omlette I'd use 1/2 whole eggs, 1/2 whites. Just helped keep the calorie count down.0

I was reading on the living strong site egg yolks have a lot of colesterol almost 200 in a large yolk, however if you don't eat sasuage or becon with the egg it should be okay. I just use moderation when I eat eggs I love the yolk so I eat the whole thing. Hope this helps. Oh and they have vitamine D and Choline and low in Saturated fat. You can do some research on living strong site it is very helpful and has good info. on different foods. If you already have high colesterol you may want to talk to your Dr. first.0

It doesn't make a difference. The rest of your post was good though.0 -
Sorry new person, what does BUMP! mean??0

Interesting to see that everyone here promotes eggs as healthy. To play devil's advocate, here's some recent science indicating that eggs might not be as full of good stuff as we think:
