egg question

[silver_shadow]

here's the deal- till now i have been eating 5 whole eggs a day. i have never eaten just the whites. my question is what do u guys do with the egg yolks. i know that's an odd question- but i was really curious.

My garbage disposal eats the yolks and the shells. My trash can used to eat them, but then I realized that eggs in the trash can=stinky.

I eat 1 whole egg, plus 5 eggs whites a day. Sometimes 2 yolks, but depends on the fat content I intend on eating the rest of the day.

I've gone through ifferent phases of egg handling. For a while when i was doing CKD, I'd scramble them, yolks and all. Then I was just boiling up like 2 dozen a day and eating the whites. Now i haven't touched eggs in a while.

Eggs are too good of a protein source to neglect in any diet. I eat about 2 yolks a day. Following the advice of many on this board

ok- y i posted this is that at present i am eating 5 eggs with yolks. is that too many yolks? and yes- yolks in trash cans are STINKY! so how do i get rid of them?! i have a cat but there's no way i'd give him more than 2 yolks a day!
i definitely want to eat more than 5 ED- maybe 10-12. there's so much cheap protein to be had from eggs that it just has to be an important part of my diet.

Woooo cat...don't go overboard....5 is PLENTY....probably too much......better sources of protein out there with less fat and cholesterol......2-3 is solid.....I use one and 10 whites every morning.....

Normally, I eat 1 whole egg with 6 egg whites (harboiled)...If I cook them on the pan, I'll do two sunny side up with 8 whites

Holy shit I never post on this board but I think I'm in love!

Anyway, egg yolks aren't bad. A whole egg has 7-8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat, BUT read the nutritional info and you will see that only 1.5 of it is saturated fat.

well if you weigh more than a jockey, chances are you're going to be eating near 8 at a time... the debate is more relating to blood serum chol. levels due to dietary cholesterol intake.

I usually donate my egg yolks to the homeless shelter the same morning I use the whites...

I thought serum cholesterol levels were not very related to how much cholesterol you eat... that's why people on zero fat diets can have high cholesterol etc.
