Egg Whites?

[petey7408]

Ok, nearly EVERY meal plan or diet log I see, it says 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs...How do you do that? Like do you just buy a huge amount of eggs, and if so, what do you do with those 4 yolks you separate? Or if you go with the method of egg whites, where do you get them at, walmart? How bout boiling them all and them and just eating the whites? This may be pretty noobish, but I was wondering what the best way is...

I go to Target.......1.48 a dozen. stock up and like you said, usually boil them. Easiest way I can consume while at work......eat the whites and just dump the yolk in the garbage.

You can also buy just the containers of the egg whites (Paper Milk container). The brand the wife and I use is "All Whites" and you can find it in the egg section of your local store. If I'm making some eggs I just crack 1 whole egg into the bowl and then add about the amount for 4-5 whites (All Whites) then mix and scamble. That way your not constantly throwing out the yolks.

I microwave 3 to 4 egg whites a morning. I can't handle daily microwaved yolks, but the whites are virtually tasteless. A couple pieces of low sodium bacon and some ketchup, you got yourself a quick meal.

I just buy a ton of eggs, crack the egg, toss the yoke back and forth between the two egg shell halves and that usually allows the whites to fall into the pan, and finally i throw out the yoke. I have never tried the all whites stuff that comes in the carton.

100% egg whites are the way to go. Stay away from egg beaters or anything like that.

or to seperate you can dump the egg into your hand, wash your hands first, and then pinch the white into the bowl. If you feel bad about throwing the yolk out and you have dogs, put it in their bowl. They will eat it. At least mine do.

LoL...my dog gets a yolk a day. That and cheese..he loves it.

I only eat whole eggs, because I'm constantly bulking. I'm waiting for the day when I ask for an egg white omelete and dry wheat toast, but so far, that ain't happening.

contrary to the prior belief of the masses, it actually doesnt matter whether you buy the all whites or regular egg beaters. the truth of the matter is that regular egg beaters are all whites which have a miniscule amount of yolk added to them simply for the coloration.
just a little something i picked up from a distributor

so feel free to buy whichever one has a lower price at the time!!

They will eat baby carrots like they are going out of style too.

 

[ryaroberts]

you can buy an egg separator. and yes you throw away the yolk in the garbage disposal. at sam's club i get 18 eggs for $2

I have a 25 lb beagle, do you think 7 yokes a day would be bad for him? Right now i just throw the yokes away.

If you are going to be tossing a lot of the yolks it may be wiser to just buy the Egg beaters. First your not really spending much more for the convenience and secondly your not wasting a lot of food.
If your only doing an egg white omelet once in a while just put the yolks in a freezer bag and save them for future recipes. They work really good to make tuna burgers, egg washes, adding to oatmeal, and throwing in a protein shake.

I don't see a problem with it really. It has to be a lot healthier than the stuff he just finds and eats.

You're throwing away the best part. Eat the whole egg! You need the good fats,DHA,to keep your testosterone levels high.

 

[n87]

I agree

I usually keep a 2:1 ratio.

2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites.

Or at the very least 1:1.
