Why are egg whites so good for you? Now I just ate some oats and I was going to make eggs or egg whites. What should I make and if it's the whites then how many of them?

lmao...if you're asking questions like this then you don't belong on juice in the first place.
eggwhites are a good source of protein...thats all. They're good on cycle, off cycle, in between cycles, if you've never cycled, if you're a widow, or a midget...doesn't really matter.
and this is the steroid forum. diet questions belong in the uhhh.. diet forum.

its funny but the overwhelming opinion used to be that the yolks were all cholesterol and fats, with all the protein in the white. lately (last few years) ive seen several egg studies that now say up to half the protein is in the yolk, and that having a few yolks a day isnt bad for your cholesterol.
so i still eat one only one yolk a day.
eggs have about 5-8 grams of protein per, depending on how big the egg is.

We have the forum broken up into different sections for a reason, I'm sorry if you find it inconvinient, but our reasons stand. I'm moving this to the diet forum and I suggest you respect the way the board is structured. Additionally, I support your desire for learning, but almost every thread you post could be answered with a quick search, rather than starting a thread about every thing that crosses your mind please blow the dust off of the search button and give it a try.

Research...
I eat 6 egg whites + 1 whole egg every morning.

Most commercially produced chicken eggs intended for human consumption are unfertilized, since the laying hens are kept without roosters. Fertile eggs can be purchased and eaten as well, with little nutritional difference. Fertile eggs will not contain a developed embryo, as refrigeration prohibits cellular growth for an extended amount of time.
Chicken eggs are widely used in many types of dishes, both sweet and savory. Eggs can be pickled, hard-boiled, scrambled, fried and refrigerated. They can also be eaten raw, though this is not recommended for people who may be especially susceptible to salmonella, such as the elderly, the infirm, or pregnant women. In addition, the protein in raw eggs is only 51% bio-available, whereas that of a cooked egg is nearer 91% bio-available, meaning the protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs. As an ingredient egg yolks are important emulsifier in the kitchen, and the proteins in eggs white makes all kinds of foams and aerated dishes possible.
As a food, yolks are a major source of vitamins and minerals. They contain all of the egg's fat and cholesterol, and almost half of the protein.
Egg white is the common name for the clear liquid (also called the albumen or the glair/glaire) contained within an egg. It is the cytoplasm of the egg, which until fertilization is a single cell (including the yolk). It consists mainly of about 15% proteins dissolved in water. Its primary natural purpose is to protect the egg yolk and provide additional nutrition for the growth of the embryo, as it is rich in proteins and is of high nutritional value. Unlike the egg yolk, it contains a negligible amount of fat. Egg whites have many culinary and non-culinary uses for humans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The yolk makes up about 33% of the liquid weight of the egg; it contains approximately 60 calories, three times the caloric content of the egg white.
All of the fat soluble vitamins, (A, D, E and K) are found in the egg yolk. Egg yolks are one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D.
The composition (by weight) of the most prevalent fatty acids in egg yolk is typically as follows:
Unsaturated fatty acids:
Oleic acid 47 %
Linoleic acid 16 %
Palmitoleic acid 5 %
Linolenic acid 2 %
Saturated fatty acids:
Palmitic acid 23 %
Stearic acid 4 %
Myristic acid 1 %
Egg yolk is a source of lecithin, an emulsifier.
A large yolk contains more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300mg of cholesterol.
The yellow color is caused by lutein and zeaxanthin, which are yellow or orange carotenoids known as xanthophylls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The egg white is approximately two-thirds of the total egg's weight out of its shell with 90% of that weight coming from water. The remaining weight of the egg white comes from protein, trace minerals, fatty material, vitamins, and glucose. The U.S. large egg's white weighs 38 grams with 9.6 grams of protein, 0.3 grams of carbohydrate and 62 milligrams of sodium. The U.S. large egg white contains about 20 calories. Egg white contains approximately 40 different proteins. Below is a list of the proteins found in egg whites by percentage along with their natural functions.
Ovalbumin 64% Nourishment; blocks digestive enzymes
Ovotransferrin 12% Binds iron
Ovomucoid 11% Blocks digestive enzymes
Globulins 8% Plugs defects in membranes, shell
Lysozyme 3.5% Enzyme that digests bacterial cell walls
Ovomucin 1.5% Thickens egg white; inhibits viruses
Avidin 0.6% Binds vitamin (biotin)
Others 10% Bind vitamins, block digestive enzymes...
Egg white is also conspicuously lacking in dietary cholesterol, which is a target component for reduction in the American diet.
