Do you prefer to eat whole eggs or egg whites? Why?

Question

There seems to be two types of ppl: those who eat whole eggs, and those who eat egg whites (as in no yolk).

There are countless articles that talk about the benefits / drawbacks of whole eggs...

...versus the benefits / drawbacks of removing the yolk and only eating the egg whites...

...versus the benefits / drawbacks of eating egg yolks that are from a carton / container.

So confusing, right? :-X

Neither. :I

Seitan! Woo. :]

Because it has four times the protein of tofu.

So it's high in protein (48 percent of your daily recommended intake to be exact), plus it has essential amino acids.

Seitan is nearly fat-free, most of the carbohydrates are washed away, leaving only the wheat proteins behind, is also high in iron, with 3.6 mg per 4-ounce serving, and 4-ounce serving of seitan has 160 total calories.

I know it doesn't answer your question, sorry. :l I don't eat eggs.

I always eat the egg whites from the container, for a few reasons. 1.) I hate the taste of egg yolk (I always have and probably always will. 2.) I'm very bad at cracking eggs and always seem to get a piece of shell in my food...gross. 3.) The container is just so much faster and easier for me when I'm in a rush and need a quick breakfast.

Whole eggs.

I'm not convinced egg yolks are unhealthy.

I'm also not convinced broadly avoiding eating cholesterol of all types is a good idea, especially given its a necessary building block for testosterone.

I usually do a mix of both.  Example: My typical omelet is made with a whole egg and two egg whites with feta cheese rather than American or cheddar.  Much healthier alternative.

anony84 · Answer

Hmmm I like a mix for taste plus healthiness.  For example if I'm making an omelette I usually use 2 whole eggs and additional egg white.  I'm not entirely sure about the benefits vs. drawbacks but I'm not a fan of using the carton stuff since it's just as easy to buy and use real eggs.

Catie101 · Answer

whole eggs because...

1) what the heck am I supposed to do with the yolk if I don't eat it, what a waste

2) its more filling

3) it tastes better

4) the yolk actually has majority of the nutrients in the egg

rachiee · Answer

I mix them a lot of times but I won't add more than one egg yolk. You still want to get some egg yolk because the yolk has a ton of vitamins and essential fatty acids, but its high in cholesterol so you don't want to overdo it.

kmhco · Answer

There is actually a third category of person who does not eat eggs. I fall into the category of person who only eats eggs in baked goods...I hate the flavor/texture of eggs.

AnonymousGal · Answer

I prefer the whole egg, but I am conscious that too much egg yolk is unhealthy. So for omelets and scrambled eggs, I use one full egg and one or two egg whites :)

Yriuqni · Answer

I eat whole eggs if scrambled or fried .. but if boiled , I prefer the whites only , for the mere reason that the boiled yolk tastes like crap :D

DebiPie · Answer

The whole egg. If I make scrambled, I will use 3 eggs, but only 2 whole eggs + one white. I give the other yoke to my dog.  Yummy!

sovetskii13 · Answer

I eat the whole egg because I think the yolk tastes really good (especially when I make scrambled eggs). Plus, the yolk has many vitamins in it.

justjumpit4 · Answer

I only eat the whites.  The yolk has benefits, but I get my vitamins in other places. I mostly cut it out, because it's all the calories, fat and cholesterol.

icanbme · Answer

no yolk for me, never liked the taste. but I eat real eggs.

Anonymous · Answer

Whole eggs taste better, but I can deal with egg whites for health purposes. Like if I wanted a good serving of protien I'd cook 4 eggs using only one yolk.
