I'm assuming you're buying the egg whites in a carton?

Separate them yourself.

if you havenot looked it is the same sodium. They dont add sodium to the eggwhite cartons ..1 regular egg 60 mg sodium...thx

Wait how can egg whites have a lot of sodium and question maybe boil them but that is still pretty low.

egg whites do not have a lot of sodium unless they are processed foods like egg-beaters. Stick to whole foods, stop using salt and salty foods and you should be fine. Some sodium in your diet is necessary.

You're welcome and it's the preservatives in the cartons that carry the sodium.
