that's all, yolks!

As you may know, the cholesterol in eggs is all in the yolks. A healthy diet should contain less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day. One large egg yolk alone provides 214 milligrams. Yikes! Toss the yolks and you're left with egg whites—the heart-healthy, protein-packed part of the egg. Try replacing each whole egg with two egg whites in your egg dishes. Recipes calling for whole eggs usually come out as tasty as ever with egg substitutes. Just add a teaspoon of vegetable oil for a moister consistency.
Step it up:
Try using pure egg whites or egg substitutes for omelets. When using egg whites, spray a little extra vegetable oil on the skillet to keep the omelet from sticking to the pan. Add spinach, low-fat cheese, and grilled onions for a flavor-induced nutrient boost.
