    I'd probably eat ONLY the yolks if I could -- flavor, vitamins, and delicious fat! But I don't want to miss out on the protein in the white. So I just eat whole eggs. I try to keep it simple. :happy:

    Question, as someone who always eats the whites with the yolks, do you just throw away the egg yolk you don't use if you're just using the white? Isn't that a waste?

    Ditto
    Whenever I eat eggs, and I eat eggs a lot, I use one whole egg and add whites to that.

    That is what the article suggests you do for omelettes and quiches.

    That's my favorite part! I usually skimp on the whites and go for the yolk, lol.

    Ha ha, me too! I find egg whites yucky and only have them if they are scrambled and mixed up with the lovely yolks. As kids, when we had boiled eggs for breakfast, me and my sister used to do swapsies as she loved the white and I loved the yolks.

    It's also a bit difficult living where I do in the UK as none of my local supermarkets stock liquid egg white. I will only ever buy free range organic eggs, which are around £1.80 for six, so throwing away parts of the egg would be really wasteful and expensive too.

    Yes, this. And to answer a recent question ^, I do sometimes toss the extra yolks. I'd rather have a little waste than a big waist.

    I don't understand not liking the yolks! I don't like the whites all that much, I eat them because they're there and they come with the yolks and they come in handy to make meringue and stuff but that's it. I love the yolks!

    Always eat the full egg, the Yolk contains more good stuff than bad! Enjoy

    This! Even as a kid I never liked the yolk. I eat it in scrambled eggs when my husband makes us all breakfast on Saturday or Sunday mornings but otherwise, no yolks for me!
    But I don't like the yolk...icky...icky...icky

    Good article. It is also a good idea to buy them locally (non factory farmed) and freshly laid if possible (no hormones etc).

    It is illegal for fowl to be given hormones...

    But it is not illegal to feed them a diet that is not appropriate for their species which leads to sick chickens and much less nutrient-dense eggs.

    Got nothin' to do with the post I quoted and show me the research/proof that eggs being sold are from chickens who are sick.

    I was just posting it as food for thought. I didn't say that eggs were being sold from sick chickens.

    I could not read the article but as far as I know I tend to want to more eggs and egg yolks because I read an article long time ago about it being one of the things essential in preventing breast cancer.

    Eat the whole egg. The cholesterol and saturated fat damning research was fabricated.

    Wow! I followed up with Wikipedia articles on ol' Ancel Keys. Interesting history.

    Lol.
