Under his TikToks, many people flooded the comments section with their thoughts on his strange eating habit, with some criticizing him for wasting the yolks instead of donating them to ‘the poor’.
“I’m sure some company would buy wasted egg yolk from them, or even if you cooked them and gave them to the poor, it would make a difference,” one person wrote.
Another called him the ‘rubbish king’ while a third told him to ‘do something with the yolks’.
As for why he doesn’t just buy bottled egg whites, he explained on YouTube: ‘I don’t like that. I trust what I see. [I like] real eggs.
“The taste is different,” he continued. ‘You can try it yourself, you will see that the taste is different.’
He also said he doesn’t like to donate the yolks for fear it will grow bacteria and make someone sick.
Regarding the cost of buying such a large number of eggs, he added: “I don’t care about the money, I care about my shape.” I’m a full time bodybuilder, this is my job.’
So is it healthy to eat so many egg whites? WebMD reported that while they are a “great way to add protein to your diet without adding calories,” eating too many can put you at risk for “heat illness and stroke.”
Dietician Samantha Cassetty added to the This day show that ‘there’s nothing magical about eggs’ as you can get the same amount of protein from foods like seafood, poultry, beans, tofu or Greek yogurt.
Egg whites are low in saturated fat and calories. That can be helpful if you’re watching your intake of either. But you don’t need to eat eggs or animal protein to build or maintain muscle mass,” he said.
‘The reality is that it is not healthy to make a way of life out of a single food. The healthiest diets include a variety of foods with an emphasis on filling 75 percent of your plate with a variety of plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and beans.’
