How many egg yolks a day?

[Mike_RN]

I do 6whites and 2whole eggs. I use liquid egg whites from SAMs Club since it's pasteurized and can be drank from the carton in a pinch.

Providing you don't have a familial lipid disorder, it's not the "EGGS" in that "bacon and egg breakfast" that may "kill you" but THE BACON!!!

I eat about 5 whole eggs a day when im really trying to shed some fat ill leave 2 yolks in there...

Anyone know how much protien is in one yolk?
I know 6grams in the whole egg.

On average the YOLK contains TWICE as much fat than protein (5 vs 2.5 gms) and all the cholesterol ~ 200mg
The egg WHITE is almost PURE PROTEIN, and a "complete protein" at that, averaging 5 gms.

6 to 12 yolks per day.... these are free range organic eggs so the yolk should be the best part......all the good stuff is in there

I gotta agree with you on this one. I eat the whole egg. I'm not to concerned with the amount of fat in the yolk and I can't see wasting food.

Yes there is now way I am throwing that yolk away.....:weightlift:

How come no ones mentioned egg whites, instead of throwing away the yolk, can't people just buy egg whites?

Plus, eggs make cutting so easy. Started my diet at 12 eggs a day and over 5 months dropped one as I saw fit. Left everything else the same.

I can't eat eggs anymore. I can't stand them. I have 13 chickens too lol. I sell most of the eggs. My wife and kids eat em. We always eat whole eggs. It's the whole egg that makes the egg worth eating nutrient load wise.
It's proven egg yolks are fine.

To each his own taste. Dont hate the yoke. Plenty of studies show the yoke is not causing heart attacks.
I have 6 whites with 3 yokes in the am and 6 whites and 3 yokes in the pm. Every day. Contest prep or not. I feel it is the best protein source I get all day long. Any more yokes then take is hard for me to eat.

Hmm maybe it's the yolk I'm sick of lol I'll try more white with a few yolks.
