Eat the WHOLE Egg!!!

Could never understand why people only ate the white, the yolk is the tastiest bit!

Also while I was pregnant and the morning sickness stopped me eating alot of foods eggs were my go to food, my doctor encouraged me to eat as many as I needed.

We have our own hens so nice cheap health food . If you have any ground space at all get a few. They are great for eating up left overs you may have in the kitchen. Kids love looking after them too x

did anyone else lol when they saw the title of this thread at random? I did XD good post

I wish I could have my own chickens, haha. I love eggs so reading this was good!

Gotta raise your own. Its easy. We have five now and way more eggs than my family can eat. They get to free range the yard during the day and get all the bugs and sunshine they can find. The yolks are almost orange. That being said I still dont always eat the yolks. I usually have three egg whites and then one whole egg. If I always ate the yolks I would be over on calories. The dogs love the yolks we dont eat.

we live in the country so we have 8 hens, a roo, and three Indian Runner ducks, they get locked up at night because of raccoons. My coworkers love spring cause I bring in the excess eggs

I cooked a low cal recipe the other day (oven baked courgettes) which called for egg whites to coat the courgettes. I couldn't bear to waste the yolk so i just used the whole egg, so shoot me! It just seems so spoilt and wasteful to only eat egg whites I couldn't possibly separate myself so fully from the realities of a hungry world.

I realise that sounds mad from someone in my position (very privileged, but we do have very little food waste in this house). 59 calories in a yolk, 19 in white.. great! But yolks on their own don't taste of much...why not have a bran and water omelette and be done with it?

aslongs its not a whole easter egg being ate and its within ur calls........i go with that lol

Thanks for this post!
I LOVE eggs and the yolks. Actually, hard-boiled eggs drowning in lemon pepper is one of my favorite snacks.

I too, always think it's weird that people just eat the whites. What's the point??

This is meaningless without some context.

I could be eating eggs whites because I need the extra lean protein.

I don't see how it's meaningless. The context is "general knowledge." If you have a reason to need lean protein then you would be an exception to the general rule, which is that egg yolks aren't bad for you. You would be making a conscious choice based specifically on your needs/desires, rather than not eating something because you heard somewhere that it was bad for you, even though it's not true.

anyone try this with eggs??

1
Position the oven racks in the center of the oven.
2
Place the eggs on the racks.
3
Place a baking sheet pan in the bottom of the oven (just in case an egg breaks).
4
Set the oven to 325F, and bake for 30 minutes.
5
When the eggs are done, fill a large bowl with ice water and move the eggs into the bowl.
6
Peel the eggs as soon as they're cool enough to handle, then return them to the ice water to thoroughly chill.

I've been meaning to try this method! I have such a terrible time peeling eggs that I boil. I never thought it could be so hard! LOL

I tend to eat about two eggs a day...right from our chickens and you are right the yolks are much more colorful!

I want chickens in my backyard, that is great.

What if a chicken dies? Most would say to eat it but after caring for it.. id eat it while crying hey heh

My chickens are in overdrive right now so we're eating A LOT of eggs! Every week I make a big frittata full of eggs and veggies with a little cheese and sometimes use different meats. We cut it into pieces and eat it for breakfast all week. (Well, really about half the week before I have to make another.)
