    I pretty much only eat whole eggs anyway, but I'd pay more for the carton just because I couldn't make myself toss the yolks.

    I never throw out yolks or eat only egg whites. Throwing out yolks seems so wasteful and buying factory made, processed cartons of egg whites has zero appeal to me. Real, whole eggs = real food for real people.

    Buying eggs whole and throwing out the yolk is significantly cheaper! You think its a waste of eggs but trust me I do that all the time when I want egg whites. Its just a little extra step but it works. And that way if you just buy the eggs whole you can always easily switch to having real eggs when you just wanna splurge on one day with the yolks.
    Splurge on what is one of the most nutritionally packed capsule in nature...interesting.

    Why is eating the yolks a splurge? I eat whole eggs almost every day. They are healthy and packed with nutrition. Having two hard boiled ones on my salad tonight actually.

    Is it cheaper to buy a carton of egg whites, or to just buy the eggs and crack them yourself? Just wondering...

    It's just math bro. Took me about 15 real egg whites to make 2 liquid cups. But got old real quick cracking so many eggs every day. I bought my eggs in a crate so it was technically cheaper...but now I just buy liquid egg whites out of convenience.

    I don't buy liquid egg whites because I think the texture is gross, and where I'm from they're made with caged chicken eggs which I would never buy. I buy organic eggs to use as whole eggs and free range eggs to use for whites

    If you're concerned about the ethics of eggs, then free range isn't much better than caged. Pasture eggs are your best bet.

    We don't have "pasture" eggs in Australia. We have caged, barn, free range and organic free range. Or, alternatively, raise your own chickens.

    Oh ok. Do you know if the regulations for "free range" in Australia is different than that of the United States? i.e. maybe "free range" in Australia is similar to "pasture" in the U.S.

    I think perhaps our "barn" eggs may be your free range.... Free range chickens here have access to outside during the day, and have a certain number per sq.m in the barn.

    You know what I mean... I'm sure she's wanting egg whites for calorie reasons. I personally prefer the whole egg since I find myself still hungry after eating only egg whites since there's practically no nutritional value in the whites.

    My point is if you buy normal eggs then she has the option of choosing eggs with the yolks whenever she wants to

    In my neck of the woods it about double the price for the carton of egg whites verses buy whole eggs and seperating them. What I tend to do is scramble a whole egg with one egg white and then in the same pan I'll scramble just the yolk and give it to my dog - she loves it.
