    I prefer the whole egg but if I had to choose, I definitely prefer the yoke. Now I want some eggs :laugh:

    I like egg-whites, but if you're a yolk fan try this.

    For every 2 egg whites do half an egg yolk. All you have to do is pinch the egg yolk and drain half of it into your eggs. You still get the flavor of the egg yolk and less calories!

    the whites are great for you packed with protein with out all the fat (the fat is in the yolk) I however do like both parts. I make scrambled eggs using 1 whole egg and 1 egg white. I occasionally have an egg white omelet but thats just because I want to eat cheese on it:)

    Might have to try that. Always looking to cut the fat.

    I like eggs in all forms.

    The fat in the yolk are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which get rid of saturated fats... So it is like a fat burner, people are misconceived about the yolk, and that is where all of the vitamins are too.

    Yes, but, that's also where loads of cholesterol is. They aren't bad every once in a while, but the healthy person should have less than 300 mg of cholesterol a day, and too many yolks in one day or eating them every day can elevate cholesterol levels.

    Fried, scambled or devil eggs I like both

    Hard boiled though I have never eaten the yolks, which my siblings loved so they also fought over my yolk LOL

    I LOVE deviled eggs, always have though. I will seriously eat the **** out of those things. Hard boiled I've tried, and I can tolerate the yolk with a little salt, but the white is just bleh. The only reason I eat it on the deviled eggs is because i'll look like a pig if I just eat the filling with a spoon :laugh:

    "Concerned about the cholesterol in egg yolks? Worried about protecting your heart health? Egg yolks have long been maligned because of their cholesterol content, but cholesterol itself does not cause heart disease. In fact, while LDL, a major carrier of cholesterol in the blood, does have a role in heart disease, it is when poor metablism, deficient diets, and toxins destroy the LDL particle that heart disease develops."

    Yepp, that is true! However, I didn't say heart disease, I said high cholesterol. Buttt, I agree that the yolks are still good for you, especially if your cholesterol is very good. Me, I will scramble, say, 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg so I can get the nutrients from it. :)

    I limit myself to no more than 2 yolk a day, but mainly because of the cholesterol. As far as egg whites go I'll have as many as needed whilst hitting macros surgically.
