    You should have at least 1 yolk, that's where all the nutrients are. I usually just have 1 whole egg and 1 white, instead of a bunch of whites, it makes the texture a lot better too. Don't just go for fewer calories, you want to get healthy too, not just lose weight.

    fewer calories means more meat for me for breakfast,lunch or dinner thats why i do all egg whites

    the whole point to eat eggs is for a source of protien which is all found in the yolk.
    if your not going to eat the yolk whats the point in eating an egg?

    Actually, 58% of the protein in an egg is found in the white. I was very surprised when I found that out - however, how would the chick grow without protein. . .
