cmaloney 151 Posted October 5, 2012 What is everyone's thoughts on egg whites versus whole egg? I'll be started them next week (can't wait!) & would appreciate any feedback. Is is wrong to not use the egg whites only? Thanks so much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen K 20 Posted October 5, 2012 I prefer egg whites. That's where the Protein is, and has less calories and fat. I buy only the egg whites. I use real eggs if I'm in the mood for scrambled eggs, but lately I prefer egg white omlets with turkey sausage crumbles and cheese.< /p> 2 ProudGrammy and kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notime 340 Posted October 5, 2012 I like the yolk more, but kept hearing that the white has all the Protein. My nutritionist even said it. I checked it and turns out the whole egg has seven Proteins with the white having more than four and the yolk having more than two. The yolk also has most of the nutritional value and, yes, more fat. Because I can only eat half an egg, I decided the yolk was still my preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted October 5, 2012 I use them both - whites when I am making it to go with something, whole when I am just nukeing some eggs.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's all new 453 Posted October 6, 2012 I initially after surgery ate the whole egg. But then it turned out that I enjoy eating eggs - and there is a lot of cholesterol in egg yolks. I have eggs for Breakfast and dinner frequently - and have thus changed to egg whites. I thought you would have to pay me serious money to eat egg whites and it turn out I can barely tell the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 7, 2012 I have eggs about once a week, usually on the weekend. My sleeve likes about 2 large eggs with yolk, some feta cheese and perhaps a little diced veggies. On the side I have one or two maple turkey sausage links. My sleeve tells me when it is full. If I have left over egg, my dog is standing by... 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 7, 2012 1-2 scrambled eggs is just about right for me with 1-2 turkey sausages. If it is to much, I have a cute smiley furry friend next to me waiting for hand outs. Who can resist that big grin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmwheel 127 Posted October 7, 2012 I like both, but I really like the egg beaters southwest style (it has little bits of red and green pepper in it) with some sauteed onions and 2 TBSP. of low fat shredded mexican cheese. Regular egg beaters are too bland for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I had to give up the eggs in favor of egg beaters because my calories were getting up there. I don't mind a bit though. Less cholesterol and less fat.

ForMyfamily 84 Posted October 8, 2012 I vote for the egg beaters also as they are convenient and I do watch my cholesterol. I just add 1/4 cup and some shredded cheese in the Nordic microwave egg cooker then 1 minute later it is done. Add a turkey sausage and viola a egg mcmuffin minus the muffin.
