On a lot of the recipes that people include they say about so many egg whites and so many yolks. Why separate them? What are the benifits of not eating the yolk?

The protein in the whites, without the additional calories from fat in the yolk. But yes, you're right, eating the whole egg is the better option.

Here's a vid of some random guy drinking eggs. I was going to find a rocky clip but couldn't find the right one.

Not eating the yolks is like buying a car and throwing out the tires. Or maybe even the engine. There is so much goodness in the yolks that the egg truly is one of nature's perfect foods.
The only reason to add whites is to increase protein while reducing fat and calories. I think it's been pretty much established that the cholesterol in eggs does not have significant impact to serum levels.Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
Your prayers have been answered. The answer is NO.
Never give up on your dreams. They provide so much joy to your friends and family who laugh about them behind your back.
Remember when you were a kid and dreamed of working in a cubicle all day? Mission accomplished.

This ^^^...
Crack a regular egg and an omega 3 egg side by side... The regular egg will have a bright yellow yolk, the omega 3 egg yolk will almost be orange and thicker in consistancy. And yes they taste way better. And for anyone who doesn't have High LDL issues, the high cholesterol in eggs will not affect you serum levels. Eating a high saturated fat diet will on the other hand.

Why do we continue to have these whole vs white threads? Simplified:
Best option: WHOLE! most protein, healthy fats
Next option: Cutting calories but want the extra protein? Eat whites with less yolks or no yolks.
Sorry, just seems like we have one of these every few days because evidently its easier to post a new thread than search.Train hard, Train early, Eat like a beast.....Become a Beast! in short....act as if!

I am fine with eating 3 whole eggs a day but eating more than this and i get terrible headaches and slightly higher blood pressure. But i love the taste of yolks in boiled or scrambled eggs..

I've recently switched to organic farm raised eggs and its a whole **** ton better than the stuff thats mass produced for grocery stores. Eggs are larger, bigger yolks, and have more flavor to them. It's clear that the hens laying them are in better health.

Yeah, people could do some digging. Equally effective: if your fed up reading about it - dont. And while your at it why detract value from the conversation when you could just not bother "adding" to it. This is an old and busy forum, but not everyone will have read it all. Some people are new to it, and maybe they have not found answers to their questions.
