    I can't imagine it's unhealthy....mostly protein, hardly any fat in the whites. I love boiled egg whites! The yolks have a funky texture to me when they are hard boiled.

    No, but all the nutrients are in the yolk.

    I eat upwards of a dozen eggs a day (well not 12 whole eggs)-
    Typically I bring 2-3 hard boiled eggs- I eat half of them as whites only- and then half with the yolks.
    Then I have scrambled eggs for dinner- usually a ratio of like 4 whole eggs with 6-7 egg whites.

    I can't really stand plain jane eggs whites- it's just sadness and disappointment. All the flavor and goodness is in the yolk- but I can't afford calorie wise 12 whole eggs- so I just do part white/part whole.

    I'm still okay :)

    I love hardboiled egg whites but the yolks make me gag. Blech. So I eat the whites, the dog gets the yolks.

    Are you allergic to eggs?
    Is it the only food you eat every day?
    If you answered yes then it is likely unhealthy to eat 10 egg whites every day. If no then it is probably fine.
    My question would be why 10 every day and why not use whole eggs?

    Will it kill you? probably not.

    Is it necessary? I can't help but feel like it's excessive and bland.

    Do you now how much calories are in the white alone?

    Also I presume all the cholesterol is in the yolk?

    For cheap protein lol

    Each egg white = 4g of protein so getting 40g

    Dietary cholesterol does not equate to cholesterol in the blood. That is an antiquated, debunked health myth.

    I don't think it's unhealthy that you eat 10 egg whites. Do you eat them all at once? Spreading throughout the day.

    A whole egg has 6 g of protein plus all the nutrients from the yolk. You might want to have at least some of your eggs include the yolk so you don't miss out on all the good stuff.

    When I was dieting for a bodybuilding comp my last meal before bed was 8 egg whites. Bleh. I didn't boil them though. Sometimes I had some earlier in the day too.
    I survived.
