added 'not' in front of discard

I have looked through this site and have done some googling but can't find a definitive answer.  I have recently started buying eggs directly from a farmer and they are  jumbo size.  They weigh between 70 and as  much as 76 grams.  Today I am planning on making 2 mini lemon bundt cakes. The recipe calls for 1 large egg.  Can I use the smallest jumbo egg that I have or should I blend the egg and not use part of it?  A lot of the sites I looked at said if a recipe calls for 1 large egg it is okay to substitute 1 jumbo.  Other sites say to blend the egg thoroughly and then weigh out the amount needed, but I would rather not discard any of it if I don't have to.  Thanks for your help.
