I like to stay away from eggs but I have no logical reason for this other than that the yokes are high cholesterol.
Your local grocer probably sells egg whites by the carton. These are what I eat. They are nothing but pure protein. No fat, no cholesterol, wow! I highly recommend.

Time for a proper update. 
Fruits are not everything - but without them everything is nothing.
Fruits symbolize the gifts that mother Earth gives us. In all mythologies, the fruit was the favorite food of the gods. Practitioners of yoga see them as the food that "paves the path to inner and outer cleansing." Even our most conservative medicine men admit that nearly nothing strengthens the body's defenses more than regular fruit fasts.
In the bible, and in all other famous religious works, one can find many references to fruits. In fairy tales they also play an important role as the "Fruit of Good" and the "Fruit of Evil."
Why exactly do fruits carry this clearly thousand year old symbolism? U.S. Psychologist Barbara Walker explains: Because in the past, numerous people almost never had enough to eat, so that the sweet fruits came to symbolize their wishes for nutritional satisfaction. Today, eating fruits has become a kind of icon for the healthy lifestyle. It is the idea that one could only remain completely healthy with a daily consumption of a variety of fresh fruits. As idealistic as this statement may seem, there is quite some truth to be recognized here.
Few calories, no cholesterol.
Let's first praise the many benefits:
- Fruits are one of our most beautiful and healthiest nutriments. When it comes to taste, almost nothing beats the flavor of a ripe, juicy apple, a sweet banana, a sun kissed grape, or a peach that just overflows with heavenly aroma. 
- With fruits there is no problem concerning the calories, and no cholesterol problem because they contain little protein and fat (with exception of the avocado). However even their few proteins are valuable, because they relieve the liver and kidneys from other uric acid forming proteins. 
- Fruits are very rich in carbohydrates, but because their natural sugars barely require any digestion and are simply "injected" into the blood stream, fruits are always welcomed wherever quick energy and performance is called for, whether it be physically or mentally. 
- Fruits deliver us plenty of fiber, which is why these foods happen to assist our digestive process so well. It is true that 200g wholegrain contains about 3x more fibers than 200g of fruit, but it is only the fruit fiber that contains extra helpful bioactive substances such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, and carotenoids. Noteworthy at this point however is pectin, a substance more commonly found in the skin of apples, in quinces, bananas, carrots, blackcurrants, strawberries, raspberries, and also in medlars.
What's so great about pectin is that it especially benefits heart and intestinal functions! In World War I, experienced military doctors healed people suffering from dysentery. They discovered that pectin powerfully detoxifies the intestinal tract. Since then so-called "Pectin Days" are called for during troublesome cases of diarrhea. U.S. professor Ancel Keys advised in 1961, that the best way to prevent arteriosclerosis and heart attack is to eat two or three apples daily because its pectin (15g per day recommended) is enough to sufficiently sink cholesterol levels in the blood. Latest studies confirm this effect. 
- Fruits are excellent sources of vitamins A, B, C, and essential minerals which assist our entire metabolism, all digestive organs, the blood circulation, the lymphatic system, the nervous system, and the brain. The fruits contain a valuable balance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus (which we need for strong bones and teeth as well as for the smooth functioning of the circulatory and nervous system) along with rare trace elements such as chromium, cobalt, manganese, iodine, fluorine, and selenium. Their favorable proportions of sodium and potassium are also worth mentioning (water regulation and heart support).
- Above all fruits contain many of the still mysterious bioflavanoids which continually turn out to be a subject of heightened interest. They are those yellow, red, and blue plant pigments that have been found to help against blood clotting, infections, and allergies, and that to an extent also have hormonal properties similar to cortisone. The flavonoids were discovered by Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Györgyi, who received the nobel prize in medicine in 1937. Flavonoids have long been underestimated since their discovery and research is today still far from completed.
Bioflavonoids are what gives flowers, leaves, and of course all fruits and vegetables their radiant colors. Over 500 different types have been defined. Their active substances, for example quercetin, citrine, rutin, hesperidin, appear in all plant nutriments that are known to be healthy for us. Hopefully in some years they will play a significant role in the healing of heart ailments, stroke, and cancer cases in the mainstream medical establishment.
So far in the U.S. "Nutrition Almanac" there are already countless pages of scientific accounts documenting the benefits of flavonoids. They are shown to treat radiation damage, vein infections, hemorrhoids, menstruation problems, rheumatisms, ulcers, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Most of all they strengthen the immune system and act as a detoxifier against mold, viruses, and harmful bacteria. For example it is said that they can neutralize the cancer encouraging mycotoxin Aflatoxin.
The reason for all these phenomenal effects: Bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants, and namely always in combination with vitamin C. Their intimate connection with ascorbic acid is required because the vitamin is very easily absorbed by the body. Only that way are the flavonoids able to reach out deep into the cellular structures. Along with vitamin C, the flavonoids strengthen the capillaries and protect the cell walls from the invasion of destructive free radicals. A deficiency of bioflavonoids (and vitamin C) expresses itself for example in the form of rheumatism and arthritis.
When you contemplate that our capillaries, the finest hair thin blood vessels, are responsible for the provision of the whole supply of nutrients, liquids, and oxygen, as well as for the removal of all metabolic waste, and that the entire capillary web of a human being (when stretched out on a line) is over 100,000 kilometers long, or could be wrapped around the Earth two and a half times, then one needs little imagination to picture just how important the capillary protecting flavonoids are for our bio-organism. 
These treasures can all be found in high amounts in blackcurrants, rose hips, plums, blueberries, raspberries, elderberries, blackberries, cherries, yellow plums, red grapes, and in the citrus fruits.
- Last but not least, fruits deliver us many fruit acids that not only refresh us and quench our thirst, but even more so stimulate the digestive juices, revive the circulatory system, and help to disinfect. Take warm lemon juice for instance when you have a cold or the flu. The acids hold vitamin C and B1 very well.
Final Tips
Eat fruit solo or before a meal.
Let us take nature as a role model.
Here we find acids and sugars in combination, like in oranges, pineapples, and grapefruits. That is good.
We find starch and proteins together in whole grains and vegetables. That is also good.
Just as well do we find proteins and fats matched together in nuts, seeds, or milk.
But nowhere in nature do we ever find the harmful combination of acids and starches in ripe fruits - only in green hard apples, and green peaches. And these fruits don't taste good at all.
So if you happen to find yourself with stomach aches, then check to see if you are eating raw fruits, even more sour fruits, on a full stomach and after heavy meals. In contrast to hamburgers and French fries, fruits are the authentic fast food. They speed through the stomach and from there are sent directly to the intestines where the nutrients are quickly absorbed. Now if you eat fruits at the end of a heavy meal, then what happens is that your dinner, since it takes longer to pass through the stomach, blocks the path for the fruits, then there's a huge mess, the intestinal tract gets confronted with this fruity starch mix and in the end the digestive system becomes irritated. This same drama plays itself out when you drink large amounts of orange, lemon, or apple juice during a meal.
So again, it is better not to combine raw fruits and fruit juices with a main course meal, even if it's only vegetables (with exception of celery, carrots, red beets, and salads. They get along with fruits). Certainly a little bit of fruit during or right after a meal isn't going to end in a catastrophe, but larger amounts may just happen to break the dam. Use your food sense.
And another common rule is: Eat the juicy and sour fruits first. They are cleansing. Wait 20 minutes, then eat the more concentrated and nourishing fruits such as bananas and avocado.
Fruit fasts are cleansing.
To lose weight, or for detoxification, a 24 hour fruit fast is very beneficial. Take about three pounds of ripe fruits, divide them in five or six portions, and eat them over the course of the day. Chew well. No avocados, no dried fruits, also few bananas, grapes, or sweet cherries if possible. Drink calorie and caffeine free herbal teas for plenty of liquids and use only warm water.
In fruits we trust. Amen.
