Every morning, I eat a half dozen eggs with sprinkled cheddar cheese on them. My wife started eating one whole egg and two egg whites. Should I follow what she is doing or keep on with my whole eggs? I tried one whole egg and five egg whites, no cheese. She added tomatoes, onion, etc to em. They were ok, but no where near as satisfying as regular eggs and cheese. Gimme your thoughts. Thank you for your input....
 
Its not an egg without the yolk. I used to do the egg whites and I felt the same as you. They r just OK. I don't see why you need to change?
 
The yolk has all the nutrients. Eat them just make sure they are farm raised cage free and local.


These this eggs come from own flock of hens. Their not caged and I guess organic. They live in a large, uncrowded coop. They eat laying pellets and what ever bugs and insects that they can catch. Collect the eggs every afternoon.

Sweet. Living in the city sucks.
 
Yes. It's healthful. Proven. Mostly omega 6,3,9 anyway and 10% of a balanced diet needs to be saturated anyway. High in good cholesterol.

Sounds awesome, although the term organic requires lots of standards to qualify legally speaking. Definitely better than store bought though!
 
I have my own chickens but have tried both ways and like everybody else here they weren't as good with out the yolks and I didn't see any difference on my cholesterol or body fat so I just stick to 5 soft eggs , a lot more satisfying
 
I prefer eating all the yolks, but when I eat eggs. I usually have two or three whole Omega three's and a cup of liquid whites.

That's ten or 15 grams of fat. Plenty for me unless I'm really trying to bulk.
 
I typically do 1/4 whole eggs when i do scrambled eggs and I prefer it that way. I'll do 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites. Fills me up and seems to make the scrambled eggs fluffier. I don't know if it really does it just seems that way to me. That being said, if you like having the whole eggs and you're please with the results don't change what isn't broken.
 
There's a good study that determined that people that eat at least 3 whole eggs a day have lower bodyfat percentage, higher lean muscle mass, have an easier time losing bodyfat and an easier time gaining muscle. Whole eggs are an essential part to a healthy and bodybuilding style diet.
 
As part of my current bulking diet, im throwing olive oil, peanut butter, a banana, and egg whites with my gainer in the blender. 32oz shake has almost 2000 calories in it made this way with milk. This is the first time i bothered with egg whites...how much u guys put in your shakes? Id have to use a whole $3 carton to get 50 grams extra protein in there so that would get expensive real fast. I was thinkin like 10 tablespoons so i could stretch it out 2-3 days...but is that really even enough to make it worthwhile?
 
I eat the whole egg with chopped mushrooms a little shredded cheese and hot sauce, but i do only eat 3 eggs at a time with turkey bacon

Well a cup is about 25 grams.
That's usually what I use.
Ocassionally I'll use two cups if I'm low on protein powder
