We got a good deal on egg whites in the carton. We are going away for a while.
1] Can we freeze the eggwhites for later use?

2] Any special thawing instructions?

3]Will the refrigerator life be the sam after thawing?

4] Will I be pretty when I grow up?

I am almost positive you can, Charlie. I don't know about the cartoned egg whites but I'm pretty sure you can freeze fresh.

Anyway, it can't hurt to try; you'll just be throwing them away anyway if you don't. Or you could make a bunch of lemon meringue pi... I mean, delicious egg white omelets w/ them.

Charlie,

Yes you can freeze them - no longer than 4-5 months.
Thaw them for 2 days in the fridge and use them within 3 days (total 5 days after taking themout of the freezer).

Freezing them is fine. Remember one thing, if you use liquid eggwhites for or part of your protein drinks, take a B-complex with it. Without cooking, eggwhites lack Biotin, so this will help them digest properly.

I take a B complex. Is it necessary to take it at the same time? I do take both in the AM but should I worry about it if I have eggs at night?

If you cook the eggs, no worry. It comes out with the cooking. I am talking raw right out of the carton, yes, take some biotin with it. If you notice, any good eggwhite protein(powder) usually contains added biotin.
