What did you eat today?

What do you guys do with your egg yolks? I have chickens, but I buy regular grocery store eggs for the egg whites. I cook the yolks and feed them to the chickens. They love them! I would never dream of not eating the yolks of my own chickens' eggs!

I buy egg whites, I eat so many of them that I don't want to waste all of those yolks...I do buy whole eggs, but I don't use them for egg whites.

Yeah I was eyeballing the big carton of egg whites wondering if it was a better value than a tray of 18 large eggs. There was no estimating in that fashion. Still, I have a place for the yolks. Once I'm doing making my egg whites, I just dump the yolks in the pan while it's still hot and they cook on the residual heat. Then chicken treat time!

Although sometimes my dog gets one as a treat

I buy the big carton of egg whites. I started out just dumping the yokes a few years ago, but since I buy organic eggs now, that's way too wasteful and expensive. We manage to still go through quite a few eggs a week, even with me using the whites from a carton. Sometimes I mix the whites with regular eggs, sometimes I just eat regular eggs. But, since this is the only way I can up my protein at breakfast (I'm allergic to whey), it works.

For me, this is the best way to increase my protein to the levels I've been told I need with the least number of additional calories. I am supposed to have high levels of protein and low fat...

I have been, however, mixing things up a bit by adding a few more good whole fats (small amounts of good cheese, almonds, etc.) and pulling back a bit on carbs. I am feeling pretty good, and while I am not currently losing weight I am not gaining any...

A couple of times a week instead of having 3 egg whites at breakfast, I will have 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg - yummy!
