    All three :). I use a lot of eggs and egg whites as protein sources. I like whole eggs in moderation, but I eat eggs too much to eat that many whole eggs. I prefer whites to cook with and to make into omelets with veggies and stuff, but I'll use egg beaters in a pinch.

    I've never heard of egg beaters. Except for beaters you use to beat eggs. I eat eggs

    Me to!!
    I was beginning to wonder what the hell the discussion was!!!

    any-road-up its funny this thread came up as I was just looking at my cholesterol level and was amazed to find it was coz I had scrambled eggs for my dinner

    I never knew they were so piggin high!!

    I love eggs

    was raised eating them as fresh as possible as Mum always kept loads of chickens. sometimes still warm straight from the hen...yummmmm

    I eat both whole eggs and just the whites. Just depends. Wouldn't touch egg beaters though... too much added crap and unnatural. Why not just have the real thing for a bit more calories.

    Hmmmmm - Here's the ingredient label off of my carton of Egg Beater:

    Egg Whites 99%
    Less than 1% of the following ingrediants: Beta Carotene, salt, onion powder, vegetable gums
    Vitamins and minerals: Calcium, iron, Vitamin E, Zinc, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, Vitamin D3, Biotin

    Serving size - 3Tbsp (about one egg)
    Calories 25
    Fat - 0
    Cholesterol - 0

    By comparison here is a real egg: (source - http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/117/2)
    Calories 211
    Fat - 14g
    Cholesterol - 577mg

    Regulare eggs are a great food . I personally like both. I'll eat the real egg for hard boiled, scrambled or fried but like just the whites with Omeletes. Just a preference.

    I personally do more egg whites and fewer whole eggs....because of cholesterol issues. If I eat a lot of yolks, my cholesterol spikes. I'll usually do the packaged 100% egg whites and one egg mixed in. I don't like egg beaters because it's got all that added stuff I can't pronounce. No thanks...

    It depends on what I'm doing with them.

    If I'm cooking something then regular old eggs are good enough.

    If it's something I won't be heating up (protein shake or if I'm adding it to something pre-made) then Egg Beaters or the Egg Beaters Egg Whites. The Egg Beaters stuff is pasteurized, so you can eat it raw. Makes for a good adder to oatmeal or a fruit smoothie to up the protein levels.

    They do sell 100% egg whites in the cartons. I buy them. :)

    You do know that eating something with cholesterol has 0% affect on your cholesterol, right?

    Eggs, whole
    Egglands taste best to me, but pricey.
    I'll break down and use egg beaters at work, in spurts, just because I don't like people stealing my eggs.

    Does anybody remember the Eggman from "Pink Flamingos?"

    Whole eggs or egg whites with silken tofu and alot of vegies scamble. Hard boiled egg whites filled with hummus. I give my dog the yolks when I don't use them, as for the beaters the cost and flavor turns me off.

    I eat mainly egg beaters (or costco's brand thereof). I like them a lot. On occasion I will have regular eggs. It is more of a convenience thing... much easier to pour right into pan than crack and egg, beat it, etc...

    This isn't true! I give blood, and my cholesterol had gone down significantly after getting my diet in order. I kept reading on here about eggs this, eggs that... and I started eating the whole eggs again (after my cholesterol was down to 166). My cholesterol again skyrocketed to over 200 with only about two weeks worth of egg yolks.

    No one will EVER convince me that the eggs have no effect on cholesterol. I've experienced it... I donate again in a couple weeks and have gone back to having only an occasional yolk, so we'll see how my next level is. If it's still elevated, then it apparently doesn't help. I'm 99.9% convinced it'll be back down to normal though.

    Fresh farm eggs here and none of those tasteless store-bought eggs. But since having semi-free range chickens that give loads of eggs on a.daily basis, I don't eat very many anymore. Ya cholesterol is higher than it should be, but I figure my improved healthier lifestyle makes up for the occasional full-bodied egg :)
