Egg Whites

I was wondering recently what the big deal was about eating egg whites as opposed to eating the regular, whole egg. I stopped liking the taste of the yolk ages ago, but I was wondering whether or not it was a "trend" or a real deal - after all, many years ago, the avocado was supposed to be bad for us because it was so high in fat. Turns out, that's the good kind of fat.
So, I did some research and yes, the egg yolks are high in cholesterol. Still recommended that we don't eat a lot of them. But here's the part that caught my fancy, since I go in and out of my commitment to watching my cholesterol - there is a heck of a lot more calories and fat in an egg where you take down the yolk! Just for the purpose of calorie count, I have new motivation to stay away from that sticky yellow center.
