Recipe Ideas Using Egg Whites in the Microwave



Recommended Posts

recipe i've been using lately:

Ingredients:

(1) egg whites (for protein)

(2) pureed apple (for fiber)

(3) cornstarch (to thicken)

(4) wheat germ (for Fiber and nutrients) - this changes the flavor and not everyone will like it

(5) low-fat yoghurt OR tofu

(6) almonds or walnuts (for fiber)

(7) Splenda or Equal for sweet flavor

(8) cinnamon

mix in blender

spray non-stick spray into bowl

pour mixture into bowl

microwave 3-5 minutes

Variation: savory instead of sweet

Ingredients

(1) egg whites (for protein)

(2) low-fat/fat-free cheese (can vary the flavor depending on the type of cheese - parmesan or mozzarella are delicious but so is cheddar

(3) almonds or pecans or walnuts

(4) cornstarch (to thicken)

(5) tofu (for protein)

(6) salt and pepper to taste

(7) one variation: add white truffle or black truffle oil or salt to add flavor

other variations: add frozen vegetables that were previously steamed in the microwave

mix egg whites, cornstarch and tofu in blender

pour into bowl that has been sprayed with non-stick spray

mix in cheese and/or nuts (some will like the cheese and not the nuts)

microwave 3-5 minutes

this is fast food. it's not gourmet. it's not beautiful. it's convenient. it's quick. it's edible. it cooks in the microwave. i can eat out of the same bowl that the concoction is cooked in. low-fat, low-carb, low-cal (assuming not too many nuts). it works for me and hopefully others can find this technique useful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
