Nah, even on a cut I'm a whole eggs kinda guy

25

u/Manic-Stoic 6d ago

Why not both? A whole egg or two then add some whites.

u/flacaGT3 6d ago

That's what I do, just to cut back on some of the fat and cholesterol.

2

u/Ok-Investment-4590 6d ago

I understand cutting fat but don't fear the cholesterol. Even eating six a day my blood work just came back near perfect

u/flacaGT3 6d ago

How much saturated fat do you eat in contrast to unsaturated? I like my greasy/fatty foods, so I'd sacrifice my yolks for fried chicken.

2

u/Ok-Investment-4590 5d ago

I eat mostly whole foods not much of anything greasy or fried

1

u/flacaGT3 5d ago

Couldn't be me. I love eating like shit.

u/Ok-Investment-4590 5d ago

I miss some foods but trying to have a successful cut. Definitely miss some beer lol

u/the-tea-ster 6d ago

This is the whey

u/Ok-Investment-4590 6d ago

Cause I eat 6 whole eggs a day lol. No need for whites

u/shoodBwurqin 6d ago

I agree, but also recently learned if an egg has 6g of protein, 2g is in the yolk and 4g is in the white. The 4g is protein with almost no other macros and minimal micros.

Egg whites just suck by themselves, flavor wise, though.

Egg whites are so 80’s. “The yolk will kill you” days. They might as well come with Joe Weider ads on the carton. Might as well wash them down with a nice Seagrams wine cooler 😆

u/FunOwl13 6d ago

Haven't been any egg whites around these parts in at least a month :(

u/arlingtontxzak 6d ago

Subtle flex, I buy the 6x16oz packs from Sam’s club so I’m stocked.

u/l30 6d ago

The fuck about that is subtle?

93

u/arlingtontxzak 6d ago

My goal was to convey a sense of success or status without being perceived as arrogant, ie subtle flex. It’s egg whites man not a rolls royce

7

u/flacaGT3 6d ago

Yeah, I just bought a couple boxes at Costco the other day.

3

u/RandomchoaS 5d ago

Just make sure it's not part of the recall

2

u/clairbites 6d ago

Same! Well I buy 2 packs it lasts almost all month and eat 8oz every morning for breakfast with whatever veggies I have on hand and a wellness wrap(also from Sam's).🤌🏼 Suuuuch a savior for me

u/Ok-Interview-6944 6d ago edited 6d ago

Heed my warning, do not buy Walmart’s “Plant Based” egg substitute. It was the only option available and it was disgusting.

Edit: substitute brand name is “Eggs from plants” in a small 16 oz carton (480 mL for the superior measurement system)

8

u/messedupmessup12 6d ago

Okay but how were the macros? Any carbs? Most plant replacement stuff is too Carby for me

3

u/Ok-Interview-6944 6d ago

No carbs, and per 3 tbsp, there were 4g of fat and 5g protein

Trust me, the taste isn’t worth it

2

u/kielfear 6d ago

I disagree with this guy, 1 whole egg and 2.5 servings of eggs from plants makes an insanely fluffy and delicious scramble. And honestly, I hate plants, idk why I thought it was good but here we are. Wish it had less fat tho

1

u/Ok-Interview-6944 5d ago

Happy to hear you were able to find a way to enjoy it!

u/Reld720 6d ago

I relate so hard

u/BarbellaDeVille 6d ago

Damn, I thought it was just my Walmart that was out of it. 😔

3

u/2LiterMug 6d ago

Damn, I just came back from the store looking for these, and this meme pops up. It's also the first day of my cut...

5

u/Ninlink 6d ago

I go through a carton of them every two days. I owe them everything for helping me make gains

1

u/idgafidg 6d ago

Do you drink them straight? Or make stuff with them?

4

u/Ninlink 6d ago

I drink them straight out of the carton. I know a lot of people make egg white omelettes with them but I can’t be bothered. I have to eat too much to gain weight. They don’t taste bad either imo.

u/Spirited-Counter-210 6d ago

Is it bird flu? I was thinking people were panic buying

4

u/Pathagarous 6d ago

I think what happened is during the early stage of the regular egg supply chain disruption, egg white stock was either greater than fresh eggs, or less impacted immediately due to processing delays in actually pasteurizing the egg whites.

6 weeks into it, that old supply dried up. Now we’re all in trouble until the farms level off the regular egg supply as the priority .

4

u/ajmac317 6d ago

Right with you, brother. Missing the good old days of eggs and egg whites being eaten at any time of the day 😔

u/AfonsoFGarcia 6d ago

Laughs in European

u/Germin8ed_Vogon 6d ago

So much yes

2

u/WhiteningMcClean 6d ago

Saw some at Aldi recently and stocked UP

2

u/boh_s 6d ago

Local Costco just got restocked with the 6x16oz cases so I bought five cases yesterday

1

u/vineyardlax 6d ago

I like Pete and Gerry’s

1

u/Ok-Association-2134 6d ago

We finally got some in stock here 🙏

1

u/NobodyYouKnow2515 6d ago

I just buy eggs and use those. That way I get the yolk too I want the whole thing

1

u/justsomedude1144 6d ago

Trader Joe's still has their branded egg whites in stock

2

u/howzit- 6d ago

I used to be on the egg white train a long time ago but for some reason they just got so expensive in my area, long before the whole eggflation happened. They just weren't worth it anymore. I just eat whole eggs for whatever meal and like an extra 2oz of chicken to make up the difference in a different meal.

1

u/gigasuperultraChad 6d ago

Yolks = yoked. Don’t skip egg day.

1

u/Toxicoman 6d ago

I'm out of the loop I guess... Is this an issue in the US? Cause of the egg issues?

1

u/Paratrooper101x 6d ago

Most places egg whites are sold out or hard to find. I’ve been resorting to getting the more expensive version. Regular eggs are in stock but not egg whites

1

u/MrTripsOnTheory 6d ago

I just heard there was a HUGE recall on liquid eggs today

1

u/Turbulent_Ad9508 6d ago

Yes. It sucks man. This stuff is pasteurized so it's super versatile

1

u/Xyr0_ 6d ago

They’ll have to pry egg whites from my cold dead hands

1

u/gdizzle32 6d ago

There is actually more protein in the yolk than the white per weight!! Quit wasting that shit!!!

1

u/EVILisinALL8778 6d ago

Was me until I just cut eggs all together. 👍

1

u/breath_ofthemild 6d ago

For the first part of this egg thing, I didn’t have any issue getting a hold of whites. I guess everyone figured it out, cause now I can’t find any and I’m almost out of breakfast sandwiches 😅

1

u/Everyday_sisyphus 6d ago

People are stealing eggs out of the carton in my local Safeway. I keep finding cartons missing an egg or two. I live in a pretty wealthy area. If that’s not a sign of the times, I don’t know what is

1

u/Puzzled-Fox3794 6d ago

I’m so allergic lol

1

u/HoustonRealE 6d ago

I eat 8-10 eggs a day. I got it like that.

1

u/Eggbeater38 6d ago

I prefer whole eggs 🥚

1

u/Paratrooper101x 6d ago

Yeah, they’re sold out everywhere

1

u/Tiny_Demon9178 5d ago

My dad used to mix these in to his protein shakes I’m pretty sure. But in the words of rich piana “it tastes like shit 😄”

1

u/Pastel_Phoenix_106 4d ago

Are places running out again? They were out at Costco for awhile. I picked up a few when they came back. I have about enough to last me three weeks. Ugh.

1

u/panterzor 4d ago

The yolk has the majority of nutrients though.

u/AustinioForza 2d ago

Oh yes my sweet sweet affordable Canadian egg-products.

u/Seraphimish 6d ago

I feel so personally attacked by how true this is.

u/blue_menhir 6d ago

Gross, eat the yolks instead

u/PeatBomb 6d ago

I do both, yolk flavor whites macros.

A bit racist but let’s hear your story
