Alright, I finally know the difference between these two.
Egg whites is only the white stuff and whole egg includes the yellow stuff.
However, what's the difference between them? It seems that most of the people here eat only egg whites (and lots of them!). What's so bad with yellow stuff?
Eating only egg whites seems a waste of egg...
Also, how do you get egg whites? Do you just boil the egg to hard and then just take yolk out and throw it away?
And...personally to me..I'm trying to bulk up and gain some weight (I'm 6'3" and 140 lbs), so should I eat egg whites or whole eggs?
Lastly, what's the best time to eat eggs? Looks like most of the people eat them at the mornings.

the yoke is what has most of the calories and cholesterol. so its not that good for you. plus the whites have most of the protein.Personally I like to add one whole egg and 2 egg whites so you get the taste of the yoke but still have the majority of egg whites.

You can either buy egg whites separate, or you can just crack open the egg and flip the yolk between the two shell halves while allowing the whites to drip out. The Whites are almost pure protein, and can be added to anything without really changing the flavor. I personally love egg whites and actually dislike the yolks, but they aren't gonna kill you. The yolks are healthier fats and as for cholesterol, I have no idea about it. There are a dozen threads on this, just use the search function. As for bulling, it would be way easier to eat the yolks and get the calories, or you could eat alot of whites. Just personal preference

Eat the whole egg on a bulk. Eggs are a super food. Yolks build muscle. You're eating the embryo of an animal, there has to be something in there that helps build and support life. Right? You can eat eggs all day. I'm running keto and I'm eating around ten a day. Three over-easy in the morning with some bacon, five to seven mid-afternoon hardboiled with some hot sauce or mustard.

It depends how it fits into your diet. Anything can be bad in a surplus.
Nothing wrong with egg yolks, as long as it fits in. Personally, i don't see the point in eating an egg without the yolk. I eat eggs for quick calories...An egg without the yolk is around 17 calories...Doesn't seem like much of a point...But, if for some reason your low on protein, but are close to being over on your calorie count, then eat egg whites for protein...

Cholesterol is cholesterol, not separated into "good" or "bad" types. HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein and LDL for low-density lipoprotein. They are proteins responsible for cholesterol transport within the blood stream.

WRONG. This is a common myth. Yolks are actually good for you. You need calories. You need cholesterol. You need fat.
The only reason you should cut out the yolks is if you have added up all your macros and you have over 30% of your calories from fat. And even then, there are probably other sources of fat you can begin to cut first (such as milk fat or animal fat) before you starting cutting egg yolks, which contain decent protein and nutrient content.

This article was just sent to me from the guy that created "The Truth About Abs."
Are whole eggs or egg whites better for you?
http://www.truthaboutabs.com/whole-e...gg-whites.html
CLIFF NOTES:
This is a perfect example of how confused most people are about nutrition. In a world full of misinformation, somehow most people now mistakenly think that the egg yolk is the worst part of the egg, when in fact, the YOLK IS THE HEALTHIEST PART OF THE EGG!
By throwing out the yolk and only eating egg whites, you're essentially throwing out the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral loaded portion of the egg. The yolks contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients... it's not even worth trying to list them all. In fact, the egg whites are almost devoid of nutrition compared to the yolks.
"But I heard that whole eggs will skyrocket my cholesterol through the roof"
No, this is FALSE!
