Lots of people eat eggs for they breakfast, but some people avoid eggs.
Eggs are good source of protein. one egg has about 80 calories. they are really nutrition dense with lots of vitamins. One egg contains over six grams of protein and several important nutrients, which is good. People on a low-cholesterol diet may need to reduce egg consumption, although most of the fat in egg is unsaturated fat and may not be harmful.

Egg Nutrition
Eggs contain several important nutrients:

* Choline is necessary for healthy cell membranes in all of your body, Choline is also good for your mental function and memory.
* Selenium is a mineral that your body needs for a strong immune system and it is a powerful antioxidant.
* B vitamins folate and riboflavin are necessary for your body to convert the foods you eat into energy. Folate also reduces homocysteine levels and is important for prevention of birth defects.
* Vitamin A is important for good night vision, general cell growth and for healthy skin.
* Vitamin E is an antioxidant that works well with vitamin C and selenium to prevent damage to your body from free radicals.
* Lutein and zeaxanthin are related to vitamin A and are found in the yellow pigment of the egg yolk. Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the retina of your eye and will help prevent macular degeneration.

the cholesterol in eggs are High Density Lipoproteins (HDL's)
otherwise known as the "good cholesterol".
they carry cholesterol from the body back to the liver. this is not the kind of cholesterol that clogs arteries.

the only bad thing i see about consuming massive amounts of eggs in the morning is the fat content.
eggwhites are very low in fat so it is a much better recommendation.

another thing that i find funny are people on low cholesterol diets. there are many factors to consider when one's cholesterol level is high. one is the consumption of saturated fats. this is the #1 cause of high cholesterol levels. you can easily lower your cholesterol by consuming less saturated fats and consuming lots of whole grains. not by consuming foods with less cholesterol (which does help but not significantly).

As for getting just the whites, the only way I've discovered is to boil the eggs and then peel off the white.

Are there other methods for just getting at the white?

Thanks.

You can buy egg white seperator's pretty much anywhere. Eggs are an excellent source of protein. In fact all protein foods are compared and rated against our egg for protein quality (the egg contains all our essential amino's and has the highest bioavailability as well).

Eggs provide B vitamins. For those who are vegetarians and don't eat red meat, eggs are a source of the vital vitamin B12, which is essential for energy and healthy red blood cells, along with other important functions.

Eggs also supply iron, and Vitamin E. These are only a few of the vitamins and minerals found in eggs.

Also one whole egg has about 75 calories, while three egg whites equal about 55 calories.

I eat eggs more then just for breakfast because of the above concerning there high protein bioavailability. And ibanez is right there is only 25% fat in the white where the rest is in the yolk

i buy my eggwhites in the carton.

i just keep the whole egg. and eat 4 in the morning.

[ZackKnight]

yeah, but that gives you btw 20 to 24g of fat also depending on what eggs u get. so are u really willing to do that straight off in the morning?

[XTRMMUSCLEMASS]

i have 1 whole egg in the morning its about 7 g of protein and 4.5 oz of egg whites about 15 g of protein. and i cook it in a non stick pan with no oil

Yes I do a lot of cardio and my metabolism is real fast adding that I live in the tropic and heat and humidity makes your cardio real intensive.

I've never heard of being able to just buy the whites... nor have I heard of a 'white seperator.' I'll have to look for one of those.

My Spring Break breakfasts have been 3 whole scrambled eggs with 2 slices of whole wheat bread, some carrots, water and supp pills.

I shit eggs...
