I just read an article about the notoriously high cholesterol levels in eggs, almost 70% of daily intake per egg (+210 mg per egg with maximum daily allowance 300 mg).
What is egg substitute? Where to buy and has anyone got any recipes.

The yolks are the problem you can have egg white omelets instead. What do you want to do with them?

Hi Chucky
Cut down on the red meat as well and try meditation.

China makes fake eggs, you could try to import some of those or learn the recipe on YouTube. Or the US probably has a concoction of chemicals in powder form - just add water?
Real food is so bad for you eh? What was mother nature thinking?

If I had followed mother nature's diet, I'd be just fine. Sadly too many years of processed food has taken its toll and now I must control what I eat, denying myself everything that is tasty. Last night I had a dream.... Soft boiled with toasted soldiers. I have a good collection of egg-timers too, from all over the world. Now they collect dust.  |

Seems to me like you could eat one and a half eggs per day.  |

I was talking to a fitness fanatic recently and he told me that egg whites were the best source of protein, especially for body-building. He said in Australia you can buy cartons of egg white; no need to buy eggs and discard the yolks, so dangerously high in cholesterol.
Are egg whites sold in Singapore? Does anyone have any interesting recipes?

Cholesterol in eggs is not a myth. Eggs contain a significant amount of cholesterol.
However, if all is working properly, our bodies should reduce the production of cholesterol from Vitamin D.
The problem is that some of us have faulty regulation systems and some of us simply consume to much cholesterol in the form of meat such that an egg or two adds to our cholesterol problems.
So it all depends on your stat of health. If you have been diagnosed with a high blood cholesterol, stop eating egg yolk.

I saw Paula Deens son make an omelet with egg whites the other day, it looked awful. To be honest I'd rather have half a whole egg than two egg whites.
Eat in moderation and don't eat processed foods, I bet it would make your cholesterol levels go down faster than eating egg whites.

Your speaking my language Nute. I'm smoking myself silly because someone told me nicotine reduced LDL? So its Vitamin D? How do I get that, Guardian?  And can I buy egg white I'd kill for an omelet.  |

Vit D -- go sit by the pool at midday! Sunlight is your answer - also cod liver oil. (capsules or orange flavoured works for me) Vitamin C also helps lower cholesterol also. enjoy your egg whites  |

After extensive research I can state the following:
1. The eggs which claim to be lower in cholesterol are actually half-size.
2. There is virtually no limit on the number of egg whites one can eat.
3. Egg whites are excellent for building muscle. Good for the brain too, my hat size has increased already.
4. A single egg white has the following:
16 calories
3 grams of protein.
no fat, cholesterol or carhohydrates
55 milligrams of sodium from a daily allowance of 2,400 milligrams
2 milligrams of calcium, 4 milligrams phosphorous and 45 milligrams of potassium.
5. If you remove the yolk, it doesn't stain your clothes.
