I have been separating my white from yolk and I always end up with a ton of yolks by the end of the week that no one in my house wants, just wondering what is everyone doing with their leftover yolks?

    I'm eating them. Because they're delicious. :)

    But wow, how long do unshelled yolks last before going bad?

    I eat the whole egg, because eggs without yolks are sad...

    why are you separating them?

    Not sure, I'm the 1st person out in the morning so some days someone will cook them up, but the last few days no one has wanted them

    You should just eat the whole egg.....not eating the yolk is a myth.

    I can see eggs without yolks if you're only going for lower calorie protein. But maybe the OP is separating them because she makes A LOT of meringue.

    You know what's really sad tho? Sometimes I'll buy egg substitute to use in a recipe when I'm feeling adventurous (because I don't cook) but will only use half a cup or so. I'd rather not waste the rest of the carton so I'll eat the egg substitute as I would normal eggs and the last time I tried this.....look up SAD in the dictionary. There's a picture of the egg substitute right on the page and you can taste the sadness just from looking at it.

    I generally eat mine but sometimes, if I am feeling generous, I will scramble just the yolks and put over my dogs food. He likes it and loves me because of it.

    Pretty sure only a couple of days.

    OP, if you're just going to waste the good part of the egg, buy egg whites in a carton.


    ETA: 2-4 days IF stored properly.

    It also contains most of the nutrients.

    I don't always eat eggs, but when I do, I eat the whole egg.

    I use a ton of egg whites in my protein pancakes recipe (I make a week's worth for two people) and found it to be too much of a waste to use eggs and throw out the yolk, so I just buy the carton of egg whites. Costs a little more but you're not wasting the yolks.

    I agree with eating the whole egg. The yolk does have most of the vitamins and minerals in it. Plus, your body needs some fat. Mother nature is pretty smart - she fixed it up in the right package for us already. :) I buy lean meats, but I do eat whole eggs.

    I am a huge believer in eating as much of an animal as possible, eggs included. Use it all, eat it all. I hate wasting food and it is good that you are trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the yolk but, i would just eat the whole thing! Instead of worrying about the egg being too many calories or something, just reduce the intake of something else, somewhere else? I would't worry, and just eat the egg! :)
