Eggs - Why do people not eat the yolk?
Replies
-
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

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 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

For yolk lovers, I have a creme brulee recipe that uses 12 yolks and no whites.
Long live yolks!
send to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!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.
^^ this I promise high cholesterol is not from eating eggs....the burgers and fast food french frys and processed foods is what makes your cholesterol high not an egg lol0 -
So, I've incorporated boiled eggs in my breakfast for quite some time now, but notice that a lot of people throw away the yolk and only eat the egg white. Cholestorol issues perhaps? Whats are the pros vs cons of eating the yolk?
Are you wanting to adjust your calorie intake? Your cholesterol intake? Your fat intake? There are lots of ways to address all of those without changing your egg consumption. Please don't change your diet based on what you notice a lot of other people doing. That is the foundation of the thinking behind fad diets.0 -
Fresh (very fresh) beauty's from our hens, I am an egg white person usually but since I have gotten my chickens I have to at least have one of their yolks! So I usually do 1 whole egg and 2 whites, not so much because of cholest. for me but the calories thing.
NOTHING like fresh fresh eggs! And they are so fun to have for the family too! My kids snack of choice is a sunny side up egg! They LOVE them! It is ok eat the yolk there are far worse things we have all eaten, the darker the yolk the better the taste!
Would a face like this lie to you???? :bigsmile:

I want this recipe as well... pleeeeease!!0 -
I just do not like the yolks in boiled eggs. So I throw them away for that reason, but I will eat them in egg salad or deviled eggs...0

I LOVE WHOLE EGGS! They are my main protein source, and yolks have vitamin E and the trace mineral choline which is a brain-booster. I'm still nursing my 1 year old and what choline he's not getting from the eggs he eats, I'm hoping he gets from me.0

I personlly don't care for the taste of the yolk in hard boiled eggs, nor the texture, blah!0

It was recommended to me to actually eat 1-2 whole eggs every day by a nutritionist while dealing with my weight issues. I personally feel that natural foods are not to be feared or parted out because of such things as fat and cholesterol, but embraced in their entirety for their high nutritional value. Throw out the fabricated, processed foods if you're worried about calories or cholesterol...those are the ones that usual have very little nutritional value to balance out the fat/calories/etc. and also bring along their nasty little friends with names you can't even pronounce.0

interestingly I have developed a total lack of desire to eat eggs since losing weight. I cant stand the smell of them or the taste. I have tried making omlettes or scrambled eggs etc but just cant eat them.. Now its ok if I have them in say cookies or cake where you dont get the taste or smell.
At work some of the girls cook the egg whites in the microwave in these special bowls with spray butter and then they plop them on their plate and eat them The smell does me in and then if I see them I just want to puke.
Not sure what happened as I always liked eggs0
