    I don't think yolks are bad, but when I eat eggs on their own (like scrambled eggs) I only eat the whites because I don't like the taste of the yolk... never have. As a kid I used to cry if my mom made us scrambled eggs, and then she'd say "they're good for you!" and I would have to drown them in ketchup so I couldn't taste it... so I didn't eat eggs for 15 years, and finally decided to try an egg white, and I eat them like every day now....

    If I am cooking with eggs I use the whole egg, like recently I learned how to make cauliflower pizza crust and I use a whole egg in that, rather than just the white.... it's actually a pain taking the yolks out, but I have tried numerous times, I just can't get used to the taste!

    Good on you for giving it another go!

    I'm totally not going to say I never just have egg whites because i would totally be lying! e.g This morning i had 2 eggs 2 egg whites to save on cals so i have more room for chocolate (don't judge me :laugh: :blushing: ) But i didn't save just to go ahead and full her up with cheese and oil! To me It kinda defeats the purpose of saving in the first place!

    I love eggs! I just need to find new ways of making them because I get bored with the scrambled/omelets I usually eat.

    I am obsessed with poached eggs. I eat at least 2 poached eggs a day.

    Eggs are the best food ever, two scrambled in the morning with minced Garlic and Spinach and I am in heaven. Love the yellow.

    just because you have seen it doesn't mean others don't want to talk about it!

    I had never thought of that before.

    i eat eggs
    but the yolks are bad for u

    False

    I talked to an accredited dietitian about eating whole eggs and she was happy for me to eat them. When I have eggs which is a few times a week, I have 2. She didn't have a problem with that!

    Oh I love devilled eggs, but I just use a bit of curry powder and tomato chutney mixed through. In fact I'm going to have some for lunch today! :happy:

    It' s just you.

    Hating on egg yolks was so 90's.

    Pretty sure the rest of the population has caught on.

    Edit: The main time I see people sticking to egg whites nowadays are people trying to cut or are in training for bodybuilding season. Eggs without the yolk are an easy way to maximize protein while keeping calories low. However, I doubt you fall into that category so it's irrelevant.

    I love eggs! I have deviled eggs (made with greek yogurt, how did I not hear of this awesome sooner?)

    ...holy crap... I love deviled eggs, but don't make them frequently, only because of the 'base'/mayo-ish component -- but now you've passed on the amazingness that is 'substitute greek yogurt' (WHY didn't I think of this?!) -- and thus you have the distinct pleasure of (1) having made it possible for me to eat more of my beloved deviled eggs ;), and (2) ya freakin' made my day! ;)

    THANKS!

    I believe it depends on the individual person. Everyone's reasons is unique and personal.

    1) Some choose to eliminate the yolks because they were taught it was bad.

    2) Some are allergic to the yolk of the egg, but not the egg white.

    3) Some choose to eliminate the yolk because it contains fat. They would rather replace the fat found in the yolk with some other fat they feel is more important (i.e. flax seeds, butter, cream, etc.).

    4) Some are sensitive to the leusine found in the yolk. For them, eating 1 yolk may be fine, but not multiple yolks.

    5) Finally, some use the yolks for other purposes. When I am making protein pancakes, I use egg whites only. However, I use the yolks for puddings/custards.

    Yes i understand that I'm NOT saying EVERYONE SHOULD WHOLE EGGS AND ANYONE NOT EATING THEM IS DUMB,I'm talking about people who can have them but choose to take them out to save purely to save on cals but then go in add a crap load of oil and or cheese to it. I see it as Defeating the purpose of taking them out in the first place! I would rather have whole eggs in my scramble then a whole lot of cheesey oily whites!

    BUT yes i do Agree with the fact people have medical reasons or don't like them. As i said there are a lot of times where i do just use whites..but i don't go and add a whole lot of other things to them!

    Whole eggs for me, all the way. But I don't like them when the yolk is cooked all the way through. I cannot and will not eat hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs, etc. A runny yolk is a happy yolk to me!
