Eat them

Eggs are delicious....just eat them. A really great strength training coach at Purdue University told me to eat the whites...and to ditch the yolks. Here's something that is weird: I crack an egg into my Ramen Noodles when they're cooking. It's great!

When I was training eggs were one of the only sources of protien I could afford. I too cracked them into ramen and made egg drop soup. Eggs over rice a roni was a specialty of mine that the neighbors would actually come over and ask me to make for them.

Seriously, not the highest quality protien source out there, but for vaulters I don't see why you would need to stay away.

According to my nutrition book, eggs are the most complete protein source available to us, ie containing all essential amino acids.

Yup. Eggs are as good a source of protein as you will find. Just avoid the yolks. Your body produces enough cholesterol on its own that you actually don't need any in your diet at all.
