I usually have and recommend that you mix whole eggs with whites. I eat 4 egg white with 2 whole eggs scrambled. Good Luck. .o0 Arnold 0o.

Being a cheapskate, I refuse to spend the crazy amount of money for the preseperated whites. I'll just live with the extra fat.. I don't intake that much fat anyway. -Jim
