There is the cholesterol factor, but that's if one eats the yolks all the time and in large quantities. Personally, I would eat 2 whole eggs and a few egg whites in a given day (but not everyday).

feelnfit Posts: 87 Joined: 2002/02/03	2002/02/18, 02:15 PM like spanishgirl said we have always been told not to eat the whole egg . i tried egg beeters , frozen eggs and powder eggs, but always went back to the whole egg.

I personally eat 3-4 egg whites scrambled with 1 whole egg every morning. This gives me a good amount of protein, the flavor and color from the yolk, and significantly lowers the amount of fat and cholesterol. As far as wasting yolks, if you put them in a dixie paper cup, scramble them slightly, then microwave them, you can dump them outside for your birds to eat. Simple, quick, and keeps birds from eating their children!

I buy the eggs at a special store delivering restaurants and I buy in big boxes containing 180 at time. This will last for around a week and a half.... I must admit thou, that even often changing the recipe of how to cook them, I'm a little bit tired of eating all those eggs.... I only eat around one yolk daily (since I don't eat meat I actually NEED the cholestorol in the eggs..)

Never known anybody that developed an allergy to eggs though, and some people I have asked said they have been eating them for years. (every day)
