Whole Or Egg Whites



Recommended Posts

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...

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>

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.

I use them both - whites when I am making it to go with something, whole when I am just nukeing some eggs.< /p>

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.

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...

Sounds like a big meal for a sleeve! There is hope for normalcy as long as I am losing!

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!

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. :)

This sounds just like my Breakfast every day, but instead of sausage, I put a little fajita meat to chopped up grilled chicken into the eggs omelette style, along with some chopped up bell peppers, onions, mushrooms....whatever I got. 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.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
