How to Lose Weight by Eating Egg Whites

Two egg white on the other hand, contain only 32 calories and almost no fat and cholesterol. Next time you make omelets or eggs in the morning, consider using egg whites instead. You can also purchase egg yolks separators at your local home improvement or kitchen stores.
