Thanks, i guess i asked for that hehe.
seems the white is 90% water and 10% protein.
Seems to me you are throwing away the good part if you just eat the whites alone.
Unless there is evidence that eating too many yolks despite the white being included has ill effects.

I usually have about 3 a week myself (whole eggs) and always buy free range Organic.

Eat the whole egg. It's best to buy free range organic though, just to be sure the hen hasn't been fed any crap.

The egg yolk cholesterol thing is just a myth.

Thanks for that link, a very good article.
It explains alot to me anyway.And probably why i have found i burn through so much fat, even though i am always eating.
That study on the men doing a keto diet was nice to read to.
Im trying to keep to a keto diet and had been eating something like 6 eggs a day average.
I was worrying there wasnt enough fat in them, but that aside i wasnt sure if i was getting too much protein from thm or cholesterol.
I feel a bit more confident and its convinced me to try set money aside for free range eggs.
I have noticed a big difference in yolk colour.The cheap ones are a really pale yellow and dont look that healthy.

You could get a few hens of your own, there great and give the best quality eggs you can get - as long as you feed them the right things,
easy to keep as well

I used to eat abt 4 every morn....till I came out in a rash all over my body after 6 months...have 5 every second day now and no problems.
P.S I read that the cholesterol studies were all done by all the large cereal firms so.......

Has anyone tried the pickled ones? Are they any better or worse than plain old hard boiled egg?
They look like they might be nice in a salad . . .

2 eggs every morning

I eat 4 - 6 eggs a day (depending on the day and what's for lunch) and I feel fab

The kids and I get through 7 dozen eggs between us a week!

Pickled eggs are lovely. The outside will taste like vinegar but it does not penetrate the egg. So convenient too!
