Just out of curious. My friends told me this when i intend to separate the egg yolk and just having the egg white due to the fact that egg yolk has high cholesterol is it true that egg white and egg yolk must eat together?and why?

google not working?
forum search function not working?

No. What justification he gave?

Wow, i fail to do so. I am a newbie to internet world

As far as I know, you don't have to eat them together. However, I heard it from radio that egg yolk has high cholesterol is a misconception. You can always have egg yolk and egg white together but must not be more than 3 eggs in a week. I'm not sure how reliable it is but I probably eat more than 3 eggs in a week.

Eat the egg yolk. It contains alot of good nutrients the egg white lacks and provides you with good fats.

High cholesterol foods don't contribute to high cholesterol as much as people believe. It is your lifestyle that makes you sick - a combination of lousy diet (lots of bad fats, fried foods, sugar, too much sodium, alcohol, processed foods), being over weight, smoking, lack of fiber in diet as well as genetics affect your cholesterol more than egg yolk.

Unless you don't like egg yolk - eat them, no need to separate.

Anyway - GOOGLE is your friend.

Added on November 25, 2012, 10:59 am I easily eat 10-15 eggs a week. There is no scientific or proven concern with eating more than XXX amount of eggs if it fits in your diet. Calculate calories, fats, proteins, etc and if it all fits then its fine. Tsk people spread rubbish based on nothing-enjoy your eggs, they are an excellent food.

workout and u don't have to worry about it...

egg york is not good for smoker thats what I learned from biology
high cholestrol in egg york can cause your ateries or vein somthing become narrow if u are the smoker because the smoke is the factor of it

egg do have high cholesterol but you have to know that there are good cholesterol and bad one. What is inside the eggs are the goods one and Omega-3 is good to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the body which is a lot in the eggs,

You're misleading people. Omega-3 is not cholesterol.

fatty acid, my bad

i dunno about u, but i've always only eat egg white, and leave out the yolk, coz i dun like yolk, unless it's scrambled egg, or those goreng egg, if those sunny side up or boiled egg, sure leave out the yolk..

but i heard ppl said, most of the nutrients in an egg is inside the yolk..

if you are cooking your eggs then nothing to be worried about. if you are eating the egg white raw (in large quantity), you might suffer from biotin deficiency in a long run. this is because egg white has a glycopeptide called avidin which when consumed binds with biotin in your body. hence the solution is to cook the egg white before consuming. better still, just eat the whole egg raw (egg yolk has tons of biotin and it binds and inactivate the avidin in egg white).

My nutritionist told me that I can eat up to 7 yolks a week since I don't have any cholesterol problem. It's up to you, egg yolk contains more cholesterol than egg white (egg white contains none) but egg yolk has a higher amount of nutrients in it. But, egg white has higher amount of sodium and protein in it, so its always recommended to eat both together.

Main concern is not cholesterol you consume but amount of saturated fat one take. One or two whole egg is fine.

go find mythbuster la....egg yolk doesnt contribute to high cholesterol ....im still fascinated that most doctor ive met ask me to reduce the egg yolk intake..i mean come on why doctor no update ?

My nutritionist said not more than 2 eggs per week and avoid egg yolk as it does contributes in increment of cholesterol in blood...

2 seconds of google : http://www.bhf.org.uk/default.aspx?page=12920

how hard can it be?

I would start looking for a different nutritionist.

egg white also got cholesterol ?
