Flynn Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I work out first thing in the morning and I'm planning on having sweet potatoes and egg whites with some spinach for a post workout meal as described in the success guide. When you make egg whites, what do you guys do with your yolks? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think separating yolks and whites is too much work. I would eat chicken breast as my protein and save the whole eggs for later. You can make mayonnaise with yolks and I would guess that you could scramble them. There is a lot of good nutrition in the yolks, so you don't want to throw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'd just eat the whole egg and be done with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cysgr8 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I would just eat the whole egg, anyone care to share why this would be bad after work out? If you have a dog, they love egg yolk's and its great for them, their coat's get very shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Cysgr8, the idea is to avoid fat post workout because you want quick absorption of carbohydrates (which fat delays/hampers). OP, I agree with Tom...separating eggs is such a pain for me, I'd just go with a hunk of chicken instead. But making mayo's what immediately comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If they're quality eggs and for some reason I don't need the yolks they get mixed into cat food for a treat for my furry kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea D. Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 For me I just eat the whole egg but I'm working out hard enough right now to warrant a Pre or Post workout meal so my opinion is probably not relevant to your situation... When not doing a W30 those yolks would do nicely in a coconut milk ice cream though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renee Lee Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 it's not a BAD idea, it's just not ideal. get comfortable with the basics THEN start worrying about the tweaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
