EGG WHITES!!

I just discovered the wonderful thing that are egg whites.

Without yolk, 2 eggs:
7.2g protein
0.5g carbs
0.1g fat
31.7 calories

No cholesterol, 110mg sodium

With yolk, 2 eggs
12.6g protein
1.1g carb
10.6g fat
155 calories

424mg cholesterol, 124g sodium.

You pretty much can make yourself a dozen or two and just eat them throughout the day. There's no downside to them. They fill you up. Just boil a bunch (I just fit 20 into a large pot, enough for 2-3 days, easy to make) and take the yolk off as you eat them. You pretty much have to eat 22 eggs to exceed an average daily dose of sodium, so no worries there. There are no downsides whatsoever to egg whites. Low-calories, virtually no fat nor carbs, bit of protein, no cholesterol, low in sodium, and filling. The perfect food.
