Eggs - Why do people not eat the yolk?
Replies

I eat hard boiled eggs every day for breakfast0

Depends how I'm eating the egg,scrambled I will eat the whole egg,but fried and hard boiled I won't I'll usually give it to my husband,for me it's the texture of the yolk when I hard boil them,so for me it doesn't have anything to do with calories or fat it's just a personal choice.0

cholesterol, fat and cals and I personaly dont like that part of the egg by itself0

don't like hard boiled yolks. I prefer soft boiled, sunny side up or scrambled with onions, bell peppers and maybe a breakfast meat of some sort.
I do like deviled eggs though.
i just discovered soft boiled eggs, and OMG, love them!0 -
My husband ate a 6 eggs scrambled last night for dinner. That is a lot of fat to consume in one meal. I think it worked out to be 45-50g of fat.
I eat 3 in the morning, and that is 12 grams..0 -
The yoke contains all the calories and all the nutrition. The cholesterol is not an issue, that was hype created by the medical community. Eggs contains lecithin which breaks down the cholesterol. The complete egg is complete nutrition, so people who throw away the yoke are throwing away the best part of the egg. When I eat the egg, I eat the whole egg.0

I eat probably 4-6 eggs every day. I'm healthy as a horse.0 -
Cons of eggyolks - 3/4 of the calories in an egg are in the yolk. They have a higher fat content than the white.
Pros of eggyolks- They're bleeping delicious, they're a really great source of vitamin D and other fat soluble vitamins, they're yellow and did I mention that they're delicious?
I wouldn't worry too much about going out of yoru way to avoid them. I understand that if someone's having a huge amount of egg white for the protein they might want to disregard the yolks but your body needs a little bit of everything and an eggyolk is clasified as everything.0 -
I love love LOVE hard boiled eggs. I actually liked them when the yolk is kinda soft inside, but not soft boiled...if that makes sense. I like to slice them up and put them on toast with a bit of ketchup and pepper! I hate the taste of just egg whites. Too blah.0

If I can't eat the yolk, I don't want the egg :sick:0

Throwing out the yolk is just silly0
-
I don't like the way they taste when I eat boiled eggs. However, I will eat them scrambled. For me it is all about the taste.0

It's 70 calories for an egg people -- not 200. Eggs are super nutritious AND they fill you up and keep you full. What else can you ask for? I eat 2 to 3 every single day.
agreed !0 -
The egg yolk is the best bit, I actually don't like the white, I'll eat it in a boiled egg but not fried. Fried egg white with crispy underneath is just ... blech0

Added calories and cholesterol. I don't really care for eggs, but I force myself to eat them because I know how good they are for me. I usually do a ratio of 1 whole egg and 2 more egg whites, mostly because I don't like the taste of the yolk very much. I've heard so much about how much cholesterol eggs yolks have, but I don't really pay much attention to it since the rest of my diet is pretty healthy.0

I only don't eat the yolk for hard boiled eggs.
I don't like the dry texture of it.
My dog does though - so she's happy.0 -
Mhmm runny eggs0
-
For yolk lovers, I have a creme brulee recipe that uses 12 yolks and no whites.
Long live yolks!0 -
MMmmmm...egg yolk....delicious!! Egg whites alone are just not worth it and it makes kittens cry when you throw out the yolk...true story.
I'm going to go get one right now!0 -
I have high Cholesterol. My mom died at 60 of her first heart attack and I'm 56.
Just fyi, my dear husband had HC and he gave up all dairy products because of Lactose intolerance, no cheese, no milk, no ice cream, no butter and started using some soy products his cholesterol dropped 84 point in a year without exercise or cutting anything else out.
The doctor was shocked. But then as a woman you have to weigh the risks of soy. Anyway just thought i'd share.0 -
I love the yolks, and I used to have 2 eggs for breakfast every day but my GP said I needed to cut back on them because of the fat. I wasn't willing to drop them entirely and found that my supermarket sold egg whites in a carton so now I have scrambled egg whites for breakfast instead to keep her happy! :-) Every now and again though I'll buy some proper eggs for a treat tho ;-)0

I have two whole eggs everyday. Kind of high in fat but it balances out over the day. You need some fat in your diet!0

I had 9 one morning for breakfast.
I don't have much fat otherwise in a day.0 -
Runner's World has a whole article about why you should eat the entire egg! All of the egg's nutrients are in the yolk.0
-
I only eat the yolk of boiled and fried eggs, I hate egg whites. Though I'll happily have them mixed up in an omelette of cake. Takes all sorts :laugh:
This exactly! I have to force myself to include the whites at all when I eat my egg! I normally have to eat an egg with toast anyways or I can't choke it down. But omelets with lots of veggies and some meat are delicious!0 -
Personally I just don't like the flavor or consistency of the boiled egg yolk. I have switched to egg beaters now, but did enjoy a sunny side up or over easy egg once in a while before that.0

Mother Nature cries when you throw out the yolk
AMEN!
I bought egg whites... and then decided to go with regular eggs because I found myself needing more calories anyways... plus my "good cholesterol" is a little low and they told me eggs was a great way to get it up... (I also joked that I should order guacamole with my margaritas and the nurse said yes)... so it's a win win.
agreed and I don't know how anyone can eat the egg whites stuff (gag me)0 -
Cuz yolks taste yucky!:noway:0
-
I know it has already been mentioned, but to reiterate, the yolk contains all of the vitamins and other nutrional value. This can be found by using any search engine. Eat the whole damn thing! :drinker:
(that's what she said)
Couldnt resist!0 -
I just had eggs for breakfast. I love the yolks. But I might try egg whites by themselves eventually. I've just always eaten the yolks since i was a yunggin'0
