I'd prefer to eat the yolk as well the white as I do in omelettes and scrambled egg, but with fried/poached eggs, I only eat the white, and that is simply because I don't like the taste of yolk.

I like my eggs any way. It can be nice just to have the whites though, since it takes many egg whites just to match the calories (never mind the cholesterol) that are in one yolk. So, if I'm hungy, and I want a lot of eggs, I just ditch the yolks.
But nothing beats a good platter of scrambled eggs on a day when you just don't care.
I've heard that an egg a day is perfectly healthy. So, 7 eggs a week?

WHAT? The (deliciously runny) yolk is the best part of a fried or poached egg. Mail your discarded yolks to me.

-If you're going by the standard nutrition labels in the US, a large yolk is 70% of the recommended daily cholesterol intake
-Studies show dietary cholesterol does not have an impact on blood cholesterol
-The yolk contains way more nutrients than the white does
If you want to eat egg whites only in order to get more volume for your calories, that's fine (as long as you cook them). But whole eggs are the superior food in terms of nutrients.

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
I do 1-2 a day and I'm fine.

So yeah, apparently, you can go nuts on the eggs, but probably a good idea to mix in some good carbs and fruits.

Eating his way to a six-pack with 16 eggs a day
(CNN) -- Every day, Jason Dinant chows down 16 hard-boiled egg whites, one and a quarter pound of meat and four cups of vegetables, sprinkled with an occasional carbohydrate.
The lean protein and carbohydrates, he hopes, will help him get six-pack abs.
Jim White, a registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association spokesman, reviewed Dinant's menu.
"This reminds me of what I was doing trying to get ripped for bodybuilding competition," White said. "It's tough to follow, but you can definitely get a six-pack with this diet."
But White had some tips for an even better diet -- add more fat. Yes, fat.
Fats compose 8 percent of Dinant's current diet.
"Even diets put together for weight loss or fat shedding, I don't recommend under 12 to 15 percent fat," White said. "Some studies say omega-3 fats can minimize body fat. ...You can get a six-pack while incorporating fats in the diet."
Skip the saturated and trans fat and go for good fats found in flaxseed oils, olive oil, natural peanut butter, nuts and avocados, which are beneficial. And add fruits to the diet, White suggested.
"Fruits are loaded with fiber, vitamins, and I think you should definitely have two fruits in the diet," he said.
Brown rice, oatmeal and sweet potatoes are great carbohydrates for the diet, he said. There were some glaring similarities between White's diet and Dinant's.
"This is pretty much my diet every day," White said. "I eat around eight to 10 eggs a day. I always get asked if I'm baking a cake or egging houses when I'm at the grocery."
Eating lean proteins helps build muscles, but Dinant may be getting too much for his weight.
"Eating protein has great benefit for rebuilding muscle and speeding up the metabolism," White said. "But too much can cause weight gain, increase the urinary loss of calcium, and cause dehydration."
He recommended that Dinant cuts back his egg whites to six and each protein portion to four ounces.
