The reason you should avoid freezing a cooked egg white is that it will have a yucky texture when it is defrosted. An egg white is a tight network of proteins that trap water in place. Freezing and thawing disrupts that arrangement irrevocably, causing them to unravel, a process called protein denaturation.
