The only real advantage to egg whites over the whole egg is fat content, so if you're watching calories or fat, egg whites can help. Just use them as you would any normal egg...omelets, scambled..whatever. They're a great way to get extra protien without the fat. Personally, I prefer the fat free egg substitute with added veggies, which is just whites with additives to make them look yellow.

The "egg being bad for you" was a faulty myth from the early 1980's. Now that does not mean you need or should eat them. I like them whole they add good protein and fats to your diet. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! The Men and Boys are Separated by one thing: The Squat Cage! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
phantom_2015ad Posts: 28 Joined: 2003/05/27	2006/05/15, 12:23 PM Depends on wat ur diet demands ... but if ur looking for adding protein content to ur diet then stick on wid boiled egg white and not the yellow yolk ... start with a small number cuz directly jumping on to consume 5-6 egg whites might cause some trouble to ur tummy and since they generate a lot of heat, u must complement it by consuming green salads. Egg white in itself is a gud natural resource for protein, i really dont see any sense using another supplement to replace egg whites. -------------- \" So many times it happens too fast You change your passion for glory Don\'t loose the grip on the dreams of your past You must fight just to keep them Alive \" -- SURVIVOR
ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/05/15, 01:10 PM I eat 1 whole egg and 5 egg whites per day, every day and my bad cholesterol is just fine. Had it checked about 1 month ago. As Mutt said, they are not as bad as they made them out to be.
Yxven Posts: 76 Joined: 2004/09/05	2006/05/15, 02:14 PM Mojo_67: I'm only going off of the nutrition labels. And while I've read a journal article saying high bad cholesterol is caused by processed foods not foods high in cholesterol. I haven't read anything that says it's alright to eat as much cholesterol as you want every day, or reasons why you should eat a lot. (Perhaps someone could provide something?) But really, you don't need to worry about all that, if you keep your cholesterol to near normal levels, and get your fats elsewhere like flaxseed, olive oil, and almonds. (Which have fats that you *need* to consume, because your body can't produce them.) Besides, mutt eating a dozen eggs a week and having perfect cholesterol isn't really going against what I said. He's a big guy, and if he is going over what's traditionally recomended, it's not by a lot.
