Fluffier Egg Whites? "real Cooks Please Help"



Recommended Posts

I use egg whites from the carton. Is there a way to make egg whites fluffier? I use them scrambled or in an omelet.

I'm currently on my preop eating plan and trying to go from a massive number of high cal, high carb foods to staying under 900 calories with high Protein, low fat and carbs. Doing OK with the selections, but need a bit more fluff to "feel" like there's more. Doing one step at a time.... change what I eat then start reducing how much I eat.. although the volume is significantly already reduced! Not yet sleeved but trying to reduce bad habits and increase good habits now. Need to keep doing well until hopefully my sleeve in mid January.

I also prefer egg whites, but I have a problem with the carton. So I just buy a boiled egg and only eat the white part. I'd live to see the responses.

If you want to make them fluffier add a couple of tablespoons of Water and whisk together. Milk makes eggs firmer and water makes them fluffier! Enjoy!

I was just about to say the same thing!!! Good advice, I always use water for fluffy eggs! Funny how that works!

The other trick is to put your egg whites and a little Water into a blender. That will whip more air into them than most can do with a whisk. Just make sure you have your hot pan read after you blend.

stick blenders work great and are easier to clean.

The other trick that many people don't follow is to let the bottoms cook before even touching them! Whisk, pour and let sit on low/medium heat for a bit until you see a nice little edge of solid white forming. Then quickly pull your spatula through and leave alone again. Egg whites are temperamental and can turn thick/watery if played with too much.

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

      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
