Right now I am eating ~15-20 egg whites a day. Is that too much? It really helps keep my hunger down since I can eat so many and they are only 17cal each.

egg whites are great, no fat, carbs, just protein, eat up!

there are carbs in eggs...or eggwhites alone.
Just very minimal...probably 3g of carb in 1.25cup of eggwhiteDavinci flavor oppinions:
Banana-awesome
Pancake-awesome
cookie dough-good (not sweet but has flavor)
German Chocolate Cake- good (sweet, not strong)
PB- good(sweet, not strong flavor)
Gingerbread- good (taste like gingerale/no good on pancakes, okay in oatmeal)
Coconut- good. (has flavor..a tiny sweetness)
Macadamia Nut- good/poor
Danish Pastry-good (if you like cookie dough you would like this)
Blueberry-Awesome/good

Some people think you can get food allergies if you eat TONS of a certain food, but I think you are in the clear bro.

That's fine man, just make sure to also get some other proteins in. Psychological exhaustion with foods can become a tremendous burden with limited food alternatives in a diet. Not to mention, the other nutrients available amongst the other sources of protein. But, that amount is definitely fine
I buy 5 dozen eggs for 4.32 plus 6% tax.
Unaffiliated.

well don't eggs have the highest percentage of protein that actually gets used for building muscle? I read that in Franco Columbo's book
88% of proteins from eggs are used for building muscle, whereas the next highest protein is most lean meats at 78%If Bodybuilding.com is smoke and mirrors I'm the windex and napkin.

If I remember right, that's called bioavailability (BV), and eggs do have the highest rating, but even the most nutritionally-anal guys I know don't bother with BV ratings.Originally Posted by DarkoStoj

I was always under the impression that whey protein had a higher BV than egg protein.Originally Posted by deadheadted

Well, I have seen these numbers elsewhere (this is just the first site google found), but it looks like I remembered correctlyOriginally Posted by BackInTheJox

Also, complete is different from BV. BV is how much your body absorbs, complete just refers how much of each amino acid it has.

Eat some whole eggs with your whites, more protein, whole egg has a higher BV than just the white, good fats and there are nutrients in the yolk that you can't get in any other foods.
Rep system sucks, we all agree, the only ones who really use it are idiots who think it makes a difference

Egg whites aren't going to cause you harm if that's what your question is.
But I fail to understand why do some people fixate on eating the same type of food every day, you need variety from different sources, not just a specific kind of food.“One of the greatest experiences in life is achieving personal goals that others said would be, ‘impossible to attain.’ Be proud of your success and share your story with others.” -Robert Cheeke

I've been doing up to 3 cups of liquid egg whites a day during the second half of my prep, not sure how many actual eggs that is
6'3
240 lb. (off-season)
220 lb. (competition)
Competition History:
2016 NPC Midwest Naturals
2017 NPC Battle of the Falls
2018 GNBF Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaft
I buy 5 dozen eggs for 4.32 plus 6% tax.
