I saw this thing in a fitness magazine about a girl in fitness competitions and what she eats. It listed her diet, which included a lot of egg whites. Anyone know how they are cooked?

'zackly - though keep in mind that since egg whites have no fat - they tend to really stick to the pan....
On the web (and this site) for years has been the ziplock bag omelette method which really minimizes cleanup
There's a movie with Steve Martin, where he plays a travelling revival tent preacher -he goes into a diner and orders a KKK omelette (white's only
)
There is NO magic to egg whites though -it's protein and low calorie - so eat them if you enjoy them but don't expect any kind of added magic.

One thing I'll do with egg whites is cook up a bunch of vegetables then dump the egg whites over it. Makes a nice and easy meal with a good amount of protein.
Another thing to do is to hard boil a bunch of eggs. Eat the whites and throw away the yolks. Egg salad this way is good, too. I'll use LF mayo and Tabasco for a little kick.

On that same note - almost...
hard boil the eggs
peel them
cut them in half lengthwise
Toss out the yolks
fill the center with hummus for a delicious hummused egg - much tastier than deviled eggs.. or even fill with salsa... for some kick
Egg whites tend to be very bland on their own - so some spice helps them along a lot

I like that one. I'm going to try it. Thanks!
well, duh, throw it in the trash.. I know they bounce and stuff -but the cat can get their own toys to play with
I personally say -eat the yolks -it's the best part of the egg
though sunny side up slightly runny over rye toast with bacon on the side is my favorite way to go

When I went on my first "diet" last summer, my trainer had me cut out all yolks. It sucked so much. I raise chickens, so I just fed the yolks back to them. But I came to the conclusion that I hated eggs.
Now that I am simply eating properly instead of dieting, I eat the whole egg, just less of them. I looooove soft boiled eggs with a perfectly creamy yolk....yummmm....

I love eggs. I could easily eat four eggs a day. Nothing is better then fresh eggs. My thing is that I have so many eggs that I have to eat them up. If I ate that many yolks I'd be in worse shape then I am now.
when I make scrambled eggs or an omelette -i will generally use 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites - 2 whole eggs 2 egg whites if it's dinner = scrambled egg whites just need a lot of help... I need that color.. and egg beaters just taste too processed for me these days...

That's an excellent idea. I usually eat one out of the 4 yolks when I eat hard boiled eggs, but I hadn't thought about using hummus (which I love) as a filler.

Is there a limit to how many eggs I should be consuming daily? Or weekly? I ended up just hard boiling them, scooping out the yolks, and sprinkling a little tamari on them. They were really good. I was surprised. This will now be used as a way to get protein into my diet.

You have it backwards. The whites have no fat. The yolk is where the fat and cholesterol are. As far as the myth, it keeps changing. There is some correlation to eating cholesterol from eggs and a lowering of blood cholesterol, but don't listen to me. Listen to your doctor.
Egg whites - no theres no limit... egg yolks - depends on what month it is - -that info seems to change regularly... It depends on what your current cholesterol level is I'd think... and if you haven't had it checked... do so..

As for cooking them, seperate the yoke and the white. Boil some hot water in a pan, get it hot and stir the water so it's like a little whirlpool. Then quickly add the white into the cetrre where the short lived whirlpool help to bind it. A couple of drops of vinegar added to the water usually helps also.
