    Eat the eggs! Eat the whole eggs! Yolks aren't evil. Dietary fat and cholesterol have nothing to do with the fat and cholesterol on and in your body. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fats-full-story/ (ignore the crap at the bottom about replacing butter, dairy, and red meats... that's pure tripe).

    JUST EAT THE FREAKIN' EGGS FFS.

      I eat the whole egg sometimes several a day..... Looking at my latest labs right now... VLDL is 9 triglicerides are 48 and my overall cholesterol is 141


      I remember a while back being raked over the coals by some MFP know it all (Bobby Clerici) because I choose to eat the whole egg except for when I'm low on calories but still need more protein in which case I will just add a few extra whites. He told me I was not really dedicated to weight loss and that if I was acting so reckless as to eat the yolk of the eggs, that I'd never lose weight. WTF?

      MFP needs an ignore function.

      Y'all know that the yolk is the food for the baby chicken, right? That's where all the good nutrients are. It's like breastmilk for chickens.

      I buy five dozen for $9, and hard-boil half of them at a time. Yum.

      Eggs are so delicious! Since Easter I've been eating at least one hard boiled every day with breakfast. :)

      MMMMM hot sauce, I eat eggs everyday, a boiled egg during the week and scrambled with spinach on the weekend will have to try some hot sauce to spice up this boring meal.

      Thanks!

      I don't understand why people don't eat the whole thing. The yolk is the best part! And you miss out on a ton of vitamins...

      OK I did some googling and I feel really dumb about eggs!

      Taste is subjective. I like egg yolk, including the taste. I purposely leave mine a little runny and dip my bacon in it just like I did when I was a kid...

      The only time I can see people purposely eating JUST the egg white is if 1) they don't tolerate yolk well (for whatever reason) or 2) they want all the protein they can get without additional calories - ie: dieting.

      But for me, if it fits in my caloric totals for the day ... whole egg all the way. Preferably with a side of naturally-cured bacon and fresh-from-the-butcher sausage, thank you.

      Eat the whole thing!! Who has time to separate them anyway???? Besides, the good stuff far outweighs any of the 'bad' stuff. If you believe it.

      You mean they are not the chicken?!? Ok I have to go do some googling myself...

      Thanks for the chuckle! Hey, the yolk is round and yellow, just like a little chicken.... I totally get it. :tongue:

      All ways eat them whole and eat loads.
      If i need to seperate i always keep what wasn't used and add it to the next eggs i eat.
      Really can't stand to know some waste full ppl through away the yolk...thats the best bit.
      Makes me think of ppl who through a way the broccoli stalk,can't stand that either.

      Eggs rule.

      I love eggs and eat them just about every day.

      Whole eggs are a perfect food nutritionally speaking. Take away the yolk and it is incomplete.

      I have at least 1 chicken or duck egg a day, hard boiled, as a snack before bed.
      I find them very filling, and very good if you are struggling with sweet cravings.

      Edited to avoid any confusion, lol.

      ... for a second there I thought that was a recommendation to eat at least 1 chicken or duck a day ... And I thought 'geesh, I can't eat an entire chicken or duck every day... I need to space a whole chicken or duck over 2 days' ...
