So when I make egg salad should I be taking the yokes out cause on MFP it makes my fat % for the day really high when I put it in my diary. But I wasn't sure if it was a good kinda fat or bad cause my 3oz bowl has 29g of Protein n works great for getting to my goal on protein?!? Still learning here :)

I don't take the yolk out. You eat so little that I don't think it matters.

I would take out half of the yolks and leave the rest..I just don't think egg salad would be very good with no yolk...plus the yolk has good nutrients.

I eat the whole yolk. A better way to cut down on the fat is to use half greek yogurt (I'm partial to FAGE brand) and half the amount of mayo you normally would use instead. The greek yogurt ups your Protein count, cuts down your fat count and doesn't change the taste.

I skip the mayo entirely - I use hummus a the binder. I prefer Roasted Red Pepper, but the Garlic is really good, too.

Actually - since my hubs doesn't like mayo, I use hummus instead pretty much everywhere. It's really good in tuna salad, too.

And adds some nutrients and Protein. And Fiber, I think...

I never limited my fats. Not only do I use the whole egg, I also sometimes add avocado.. Mmmmm.

And FYI, if you are interested in reducing fat, Kraft olive oil mayo has half the fat as regular mayo. (I just bought mayo yesterday and noticed this on the label at the grocery store).

since hummus is mostly chickpeas my guess would be some protein as well as fiber.

I LOVE adding avocado. In fact I love avocados. I add them to pretty much every thing: Soup, over scrambled eggs, in mock chicken salad. YUM! so good!

i'm with Kindle. i don't count fats, worry about the amount, etc.

i eat according to my program. i count Proteins, and loosely count calories. i also count oz of liquids.

that's it!

LOVE egg salad with avocado, a tiny bit of Miracle Whip, a tiny bit of yellow mustard and onions. YUM

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
