I'm just curious about people's opinion on this topic. I myself eat 2 whole eggs every morning. The idea of just egg whites gross me out big time. Take out the yolk and you take out the flavor. I don't like hard boiled eggs though. Just over medium, I've also read tjat there's good stuff in the yolk as well not just fat.

    I used to do that...but my cholestrol soared. It's in the yolk.
    Try mixing whole egg and egg whites.
    Plain egg whites are gross!

    Given that there is no proven connection between dietary cholesterol and serum lipids and that almost all of the good stuff is in the yolk........whole eggs every time!

    I mostly eat whole eggs unless I'm seriously hungry and would want more than 3 or 4 eggs.

    I think what you're doing is just fine. I eat whole eggs occasionally, the only reason I tend to do egg whites is cals alone. 1 egg white=15 cals, 1 large egg=70.

    I usually have 2 whole eggs and add 1-2 whites. (My puppy gets the extra yolks) It depends on how I cook them. I love to poach eggs in a mix of tomatoes & hot peppers, then top with a little cheese - works well with extra whites.

    I usually toast an English muffin put some butter on both sides and put an egg on each side. Really good.

    I have three hard boiled eggs in the morning.

    All that protein and fat keeps me going till lunch. The yolk is the most important part!

    I like both-- unless the yolk is runny. Then no yolks for me.

    Personally, the only times I like egg yolks are when I am eating them hard boiled or fried. Other than that, I only like egg white.

    Meh, the yolk has a lot of nutrition but if you have a problem with cholesterol then you have to watch it. Personally, I eat the whole thing, but I only eat ONE egg.

    Eat the whole egg. Then add bacon.

    I eat 3 whole eggs a day. One scrambled for breakfast and usually two hard boiled with some Frank's (NOM) as a snack throughout the day. Or I'll make egg salad with non-fat plain greek yogurt & dijon mustard and have it on some toast (also NOM).

    Edit: I'll usually only eat just egg whites if I'm concerned about the calories. Not worried about the cholesterol/fat deal, it's good for your little tummy.

    i like plain egg whites.
    I like egg whites with sea salt sprinkled on them
    I like egg whites on top of almond butter and a half a whole wheat muffin.
    You know you're doing right when you go with egg white =)

    I like both, Can't stay away from over medium! But calorie wise, egg whites wins.

    i usually do one whole egg in with 1-4 egg whites out of a cartoon. I used to do egg beaters just because it was yellow lol. i always put some cheese on it too and pepper and i honestly don't notice, but this is scrambled eggs.

    i read that you shouldn't eat more then one whole egg a day, but if your otherwise healthy i'm sure 2 is no problem. more idk.

    i personally just like to get my fat from other sources, such as PB lol

    I typically eat one whole egg scrambled with 3 egg whites, due solely to save the calories. I always keep hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator for a quick snack.

    Whole eggs, im not wasting my chickens eggs!

    I occasionally use egg whites from cartons but its mostly to bulk out scrambled eggs/omlettes

    Although my typical breakfast is 2 eggs with 2 slices of bacon, or spinach (training/non training days)

    The only reason i only eat the whites is because I dont like the taste of the yolk
