Usually, carbohydrates are cut down from the diet of those, who are on weight loss regime. Eggs are used as a source of energy and so that the body starts consuming the body fat for more energy. But that doesn't mean one can have as many numbers of eggs. A normal person can consume 4 egg whites in the whole day.
