it is not a myth. Egg yolkes are high in cholesterole. Fact.
The recommened daily dosage is not more than 3 egg yolkes. You suggest me to triple that?
I take whey protein after workout. For breakfast egg whites is the best. at least for me and, by the way, a lot of professional bodybuilders.

Hey, I'm not here to judge, to each his own.
As far as I know, whole eggs contain around 6.5g of protein.
Eggwhite only is around 3.5g of protein.
Others have pointed out to you that other sources of protein are better overall - but for sake of argument, we'll deal with egg whites.
Even if you did seperate it and threw away the yolk, you would only need about a dozen to get your 50grams of protein. You can get a dozen eggs today in most markets for around 1/3 of the $45 you are paying. If you use the yolks for some other reason, you'll save even more. All for a few minutes of work.
As for your last comment "LOL @ lots of money" - yes, $45 is a lot of money for a lot of people. The fact that you are lucky enough to be able to afford to throw it away so easily (and regularly) doesnt give you the right to be an ass about it. Your LOL is just not funny.

BBC NEWS | Health | Regular eggs 'no harm to health'
Don't take my word for it - do your own researchA University of Surrey team said their work suggested most people could eat as many eggs as they wanted without damaging their health.
The researchers, who analysed several studies of egg nutrition, said the idea that eating more than three eggs a week was bad for you was still widespread.
But they said that was a misconception based on out-of-date evidence.
He said: "The ingrained misconception linking egg consumption to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.
"The amount of saturated fat in our diet exerts an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of dietary cholesterol.
"The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat - indeed they can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritionally dense foods."

Hey, read the links i posted up above and on the previous page.
Yes they do but it's a MISCONCEPTION (probably passed on from generation to generation at home) that it's bad for you based on decades old science and studies from the 60's and 70's. Though many people still believe it.
Apita at Taikoo Cityplaza got them. Can't remember the brand although I buy them sometimes. Import for sure. Good quality.
