Default Eating Egg Yolks

I have been eating my egg whites for a long time now and basically avoided the yolks all together as I wanted to avoid the fat. But during a recent trip I brought along Arnold's Body Building Encyclopedia and he says that you miss out on alot of the benefits of the eggs by skipping the yolk. This includes vitamins, healthy fats, and half the protein that is in the egg.

So do you guys eat the yolks or just whites? Besides adjusting your diet to calculate the extra calories, it seems to make sense to eat them whole. I think I am going to make the switch to whole eggs unless anyone can convince me otherwise :P

ALWAYS eat the yolk... whats the point of eating an egg otherwise? i'd eat nothing BUT the yolk if it came that way. i always love it when i crack an egg and its a double-yolker

Ya, I must have got caught in the trend of just eating the whites. Most peoples journals only list them eating the egg whites too, so at least I'm not alone.

the cholesterol you eat doesn't magically go into your blood stream... eat all the eggs you want

Well, my old policy on that was to wait until I was banging them before I start letting them rip without remorse. I used to prefer staying single anyways. If I did and she would complain (99% of women think it's funny regardless) I would revert back to:
"Hump her then Dump her." Honestly, women are twice as bad as men are!
