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.

Hehe, oopsie... I do actually know that *sheepish grin*... guess I was in a hurry typing and mixed my words! I meant to say egg white, no yolk! (I always confuse the words, don't ask me why)

And hmm Big John, that sounds like a fun way to make eggs, I'm gonna try it! Thanks!

Brilliant!

Where do you come up with these GREAT ideas???
 
one of these days I'll wax poetic on the merits of a zip lock bag with a piping tip and how pretty you can make your hummused eggs with just a little bit of effort :)

Hee, hee. That's what I've been doing with regular deviled eggs. I thought I was brilliant to think that up. Guess I'm just one of many. :D
 
for years I wanted a pastry bag because I just thought it was cool - and I took a cake decorating course at wilton where I got a pastry bag.. and tips... and then tried to cleant the damn thing.. it ended up in the trash... :D

zip lock bags are far more cost effective...

Egg whites are great holders for lots of things... and hummus can be edited to make lots of different dips -substitute the garbonzos with white beans and it's really good...
 
The yoke is the most nutritious part of the egg, so I always eat them. An egg altogether has only about 70 - 80 calories, so I don't think the yolks are such a big deal. If you have heart disease and have to cut out all cholesterol, that's one thing, but if you're otherwise healthy, eat the yolks. And try to get farm-fresh eggs (you can get them at a health food store or farmer's market) because hens that are pastured have a chance to eat lots of bugs which lends to a more nutritious egg. Plus, they're a lot happier than their battery-cage-raised counterparts. :)

I make a wicked black bean dip and southwest + eggs is always yummy. Although... black bean dip inside an egg white might not be the most appetizing thing to the eyes. Hmm, nothing a sprig of cilantro can't jazz up. I'm gonna try it.
 
Egg whites are awesome; especially for building muscle and staying lean.

When I was really thin and motivated, I would usually go for one egg yolk and another two whites just to bump up the protein and still not have a too high of calorie intake.

I also read somewhere, and have heard it before, that you can have egg whites raw without too much fear of getting sick. However, I don't recommend taking my word on that without looking it up.

Also, there are places that you can get huge TUBS of egg whites instead of buying eggs and throwing out the yolk.

If you decide to take the yolk out before you cook the egg (like hard boiling it) make sure you wash the outside of the egg well enough, this will keep the chance of you getting salmonella poisoning down.
