Triggered from digitalwolf's threat about egg whites being bad for you.

I currently eat a fair amount of tuna(being high protein) to aid my training, along with a balanced diet and all that bla bla you've heard a million times over.

I'm trying to get extra eggs into my diet, as i'm aware your body absorbs the most protein from eggs. I eat boiled and scrambled eggs through out the week, but am wondering about egg whites?

You can buy the pasteurised egg whites here: (hope its okay to link there)

Seems reasonably cheap. Though I have a few questions i'd be grateful if you could answer.

Why should I avoid the yolk?
When should I be eating them if I were to buy them? and how much?
Is it worth bothering with egg whites?
Should I just drink them? or cook them? (scrambled?)

Any body else currently doing this your thoughts and opinions would be great!

Thanks

Just split the whites from regular eggs - it really is that simple and much cheaper! Crack the egg in half and then drip the white out into a bowl. Use about 3-5whites and then 1-2 eggs with yolk for a scrambled egg dish :)
'Supposedly' the fat and cholesterol are contained within the yolk - however this is where the majority of the vitamins are also.

Thanks,

Although this pastuerised business says 'Each batch is pasteurised and tested for salmonella & listeria.'

So if i were to buy eggs and seperate the whites, and drink them, I remember being told theres a 50% chance of catching salmonella? or is that an old wives tale?
