    The only time I separate the yolk is when a recipe calls for it, otherwise just eat the damn egg!! :p

    I throw them out or make scrambled eggs for my furbaby. I never really liked the yolk (and had to be forced to eat it as a kid). Sometimes I eat them as a necessity, but I prefer just the whites.

    Eat the whole egg. When I bake something that requires whites only and I have some yolks left over, I feed them to my cats. They love them and it is good for their shiny coats (they are also great for dogs for the same reasons). Just beat them up a little and let the pets have at it.

    My cats won't eat them. I tried that once upon a time.

    It's okay, though, as I'm also on the eat the whole egg side! Or at least buy the cartons.

    OP, if you're intent on using just the whites, you can buy cartons of pasteurized egg whites. You can use what you need, and the yolks are repurposed so the waste is minimal.

    Personally I make omelettes with an egg or two mixed with some whites for a boost in volume and protein.

    The yolks are loaded with vitamins and minerals, the whites not so much.

    I eat them but I do know that they freeze well for recipes that require yolks only.

    Hollandaise sauce. A freak-load of calories but oh, so good. A single egg yolk contains your RDA of:

    Vitamin A 4% Vitamin C 0%
    Calcium 2% Iron 2%
    Vitamin D 9% Vitamin B-6 5%
    Vitamin B-12 5%

    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.

    THIS!!

    Curious... how many eggs does everyone normally eat?

    5-6 with turkey/ham/chicken/onion/tomato/cheese/whatever's laying around is usually a decent sized meal for me but my roommate (a guy roughly the same size as me) gets full after 3 eggs without all the goodies cooked in.

    I usually eat either two eggs or one egg and two servings of egg whites every morning for breakfast.

    That's what I do too but at night.

    I only eat 2 eggs at a time if I miss lunch and pick up a couple hard boiled at a store to eat while on my walk.

    usually 2-3 depending on how I'm eating them.

    I used to toss yolks until I got my own chickens. Those little birds work so hard to lay each egg I practically cry if I accidentally drop one. B)

    That's just sad. What is the point of eating the egg without the yolk?!

    I love eggs. I love yolk. I love whites. And I do think whites have a taste. But yes, buy the regular eggs for everyone else, whites in a carton.

    I put the yolk in my mouth along with the rest of the egg. It's delicious and filled with healthy nutrients. A true superfood.

    2, almost always. I usually have omelets or otherwise eat them with other foods, though.

    2 for breakfast unless I make an omelette, then it's 3. Usually another 2 hard boiled to munch at night. I have enough trouble reaching my daily calories. I'm eating the whole damn egg :smile: lol

    I try to get 6-12 eggs a day, sometimes more. Today was a two egg day though because I ran out and didn't have time to head to the store. Lately I've been trying out duck and quail eggs as well :)

    I haven't had a chicken egg since I got my ducks.

    I just had poached egg for breakfast. It was delicious! Yesterday's was overcooked, but this one was perfect. Well worth the extra work. Or maybe it evens out - opening boiled eggs nicely and removing shards of shell is a hassle.

    I have a great bourbon pecan pie recipe that uses 8 egg yolks. This usually has to be paired with a batch of meringue cookies because I hate wasting all the whites. Oh...wait, that probably isn't what anyone wanted to hear.

    Depends on how many calories I have to work with.
    2-4, usually 3 is my sweet spot
