    When I want an omelette but need to be low on calories. I actually really like them and they're very versatile!

    Removing the yolk is just blasphemy, I refuse to, my very soul is at stake.

    the only time ive ate just the egg white was when my mom bought a carton of egg whites because it was cheap.

    they were alright for omlettes, whole eggs taste better for sure though

    I use egg whites all the time.. omelettes mix loads of vegetables and crumbled bacon . very good., also use it with baking in place of eggs low cals

    Taste is nothing but personal preference.

    I use egg whites from a carton...to bulk up my scrambled whole eggs for more volume and protein without the calorie hit...but that's it...the nutrition is in the yolk.

    My sister goes on crazy crash diets and uses egg whites to scramble with one egg. I think it makes her feel like shes eating more then she actually is. Mostly,people use egg whits for omlettes or baking though, they really bind ingredients well, though personally I wouldn't eat them alone.

    Personally, I don't love the yolks so I do 1 full egg with 2 egg whites for scrambled or an omelet. If I am having a fried egg, I make sure to break the yolk and cook it thoroughly.

    They make scrambled eggs lighter and fluffier than just whole egg. I use 1 whole egg plus a half cup of egg white and a splash of milk and they come out with a nicer softer texture IMO.

    Once upon a time, I ate egg whites only to cut down on the calories. But that was a sad, sad time. Whole eggs 4evs.

    Also, apparently it's a thing to add pasteurized egg whites to smoothies as an extra protein boost. I feel like the consistency would be hella weird, though.

    I have an omelette almost every night with one egg and 4 egg whites. I get a lot of protein and volume for a smaller amount of calories. Then I can add more cheese!

    Not me! My eggs come from my free range chickens and I savor every bite of it!

    I tried egg white omlettes- I was glad I had saved the yolks - fried them for my cats- and hadn't taken them off the counter to the cat dish- I put them back in my food.

    I can't do egg whites only- just . no.

    Only 2 reasons:
    1. its low cal so if I want to load up on other goodies with my eggs that the easiest way (e.g. cheeeeessseeeee)
    2. if its hard-boiled eggs - I HATE the yolk its all chalky and weird tasting so I only eat the eggwhite

    I'm the same way, I love hard boiled egg whites but cannot stand the yolks.
