    Q - Why are people not using the whole egg? Or even mixing a whole egg with whites? The yolks are so incredibly good for you!

    I was about to put "Yes, whole egg, none of this egg white crap" in my post, but I figured someone would yell at me.

    Yes, the whole egg is good for you, but I don't get people with their egg white only stuff. Yes it's less calories, but the yolk is good for you with good fats, why not eat it?

    agreed. i love the whole egg! egg whites are good sometimes but i prefer to scramble a couple whole eggs together with a little coconut milk and seasoning with cheese and veggies and salsa. nom nom nom

    This morning I had a cup of oatmeal, mixed with 3tbsp hemp powder, a sliced banana, and mango chobani. It was WAY too much food (forced myself to finish cause I didn't want to throw it away!). If you try it, I'd suggest 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1 tbsp hemp powder instead.

    I have been having pretty good luck eating a 6oz Chobani, fruit (banana, green grapes, strawberries), and sometimes a hardboiled or scrambled egg. I am also trying to work more fiber and protein in to my diet, hence the hemp powder which I mix in to fruit smoothies and sometimes the yogurt.

    Mix one whole egg with half a cup of oats and water. Add half a banana sliced. Nuke in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Stir and smoosh in the now nuked banana. Enjoy!

    This breakfast keeps me full for 4-6 hours, which is unusual for me.

    I usually only use egg whites if I am cooking something with multiple eggs (to cut calories). Whole eggs for breakfast will help you stay full because of the fat content. It's a very good thing.

    Yeah, yeah. I know. But I take a medication that will make me fall asleep while driving if I don't amp up the caffeine- which is seriously unhealthy. ;)

    1/4 cup quick oats, Fage 0% blueberry acai yogurt, 1 tbsp Adam's pb, sprinkle of cinnamon.
    Usually I'll also have an egg and egg white scrambled with some cheddar cheese on top. I find I do better if I get LOTS of protein in the morning, otherwise I'm hungry an hour after eating breakfast!

    Greek yogurt, banana and a tall cup of coffee! Usually I'll eat a dozen or so almonds for a snack shortly after.

    A banana or two; or a Kellog's bar; or a granola bar.

    Heavy breakfasts don't sit well with my gut. They never really have, but after a bike commute, I need to get something in me to get electrolytes and sugars back after a night of not eating/drinking, then doing 30 minutes of cardio.

    I envy the people who have pretty much every meal at 400-500 calories, coming in each day at a perfect match for their calorie goals :)

    Egg yolks are high in calories and cholesterol. For people watching these, egg whites are the way to go. I balance it out by eating 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Best of both worlds.

    People are making it sound "trendy" to use the whole egg, or saying whole eggs are good for you. No kidding. But some people might want to use egg whites. Maybe they're saving calories. It's like someone choosing not to drink their calories. You would rather spend the calories on something else. Some people eat a burger, but might not eat the bun, so they can save the calories the bread would give and eat something else for those calories. Give people a break.

    My current fav is 1 whole egg+2 egg whites+ one mashed banana. Mix it all up and cook like pancakes. I pair this up with some sliced strawberries and greek yogurt. YUM!

    Plus the mandatory cup of coffee!

    I usually have a fruit smoothie that consists of 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, 3-4 strawberries, 3/4 avocado, 2 tbsp PB2, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1 cup of Almond Milk and ice. This makes 2 smoothies for my fiance and I.

    I'm usually drinking that at 6am, and it keeps me full until about 11:45-12pm.
