Place the egg in your hand allowing your thumb to separate and pull apart the two halves of the shell. Be sure to tilt the egg to one side so that the yolk will fall to one side of the egg shell. If you drop a yolk into your egg white, don't panic! Take a spoon or fork and gently rescue the egg yolk from the egg white.
Now that you have two halves of the shell, place the one edge of the empty shell against the egg yolk in the other side. Begin by tilting the egg yolk in to the other side of the shell, focusing on capturing the egg yolk only. This position will allow for the egg white to drop away freely as you tilt the egg shells back and forth.

The video demonstration shows how to cook egg whites in a microwave oven. You can use a stovetop method and a frying pan to cook your eggs. Use a nonstick surface for a frying pan and use a small amount of a non-fat cooking spray. Most cooking sprays that are non-fat are all 0 calorie, so don't get worried.
Always use the lowest amount of heat to thoroughly cook the eggs, without destroying the texture of them. Overcooking egg whites in a microwave or on a stovetop, will denature (destroy) the protein in the egg white and taste less appealing. Cook under a medium flame/or heat setting and cover the eggs for one minute to speed up the cooking process.

How do you guys get your egg whites? Do you break the egg open, then do the yolk passing thing? Do you cook after this? I am a kitchen handicap.
You can add all kinds of things to your microwave quiche. Tuna, steak, chicken, turkey, shrimp, roughy, onions, mushrooms, chives, green peppers, asparagus, or just about any vegetable will do fine in your quiche. Eat it directly or top it with some low fat cheese or sour cream.
It is always easier to make a large portion and divide up for eating later on. Use equal volumes of egg whites to vegetables for the best result. An example of this would be a half cup of vegetables added to a half cup of egg whites. Mix them together with a fork in a plastic Tupperware dish. Add some salt-free seasoning and microwave for approximately 3 minutes for every 5 eggs.

If you want the quiche to be fluffy, simply cover the Tupperware dish loosely. This will trap the heat and allow for the eggs to expand. If you take the eggs and vegetables and place in a high-speed blender for one minute, then cook the eggs, you will achieve a soufflé suitable for presentation on Hell's Kitchen.
Conclusion
Remember that you experiment in the gym and try different things. Sometimes they work and sometimes they do not. Use the same philosophy when you are preparing eggs. Use common sense, but make up some recipes of your own.
