So everybody is eating egg whites.

    Eat them. Nom nom nom. The only time I have yolks left over is when I make meringue, and then I use them to make lemon curd.

    Eat them. Dietary cholesterol has virtually nothing to do with bodily cholesterol.

    I eat them and always have.
    Did not prevent me losing weight, and did not prevent me attaining 12% bodyfat.
    They are the most nutritious part, imo, and eating a whole egg, with fat and protein combined, is much more satiating for me if I want a snack.

    Like everyone, I eat them. 2 whole eggs a day usually (plus 2 carton egg whites with it to make an omelet)

    Eat the yolk if you don't eat more than 7 a week. Only 70 calories and 60% of the protein is there. Plus Omega 3. If I ate more than one egg everyday consistently then I would remove the yolk of the eggs after one as the Heart Association has approved one whole egg per day.

    Send them to North Korea. They could use a good yolk.

    Like others, I eat them. I usually have a 2 egg omelet every morning, with the yolks. If I want the option of adding more volume without another whole egg, I do occasionally use the carton ones, but not usually.

    Custard! Or lemon curd, sugar cookies... Or, you know, I eat the whole egg. The majority of the nutrients are in the yolk.

    The egg white is the yucky part of the egg that I only eat because it comes with the yolk. :-D

    I eat two whole eggs and two egg whites for breakfast. When I do, I mix in one of the yolks in my dog's food. He loves it.

    Old fashioned egg noodles:
    egg yolk
    flour

    mix to a play dough consistency
    let it rest +/-10 minutes
    roll out on a floured surface (thin as you can, translucent is best)
    cut into strips
    boil in chicken stock & serve over mashed potatoes
    or dry completely before storing.

    Keep em on your person AT ALL TIMES and then when you see someone only eating egg whites you simply drop one in and walk away

    I eat on average 10-14 eggs a week. So far I seem to be doing pretty good!
