    Whey protein doesn't agree with me either... but there are tons of protein powders from other sources, including egg whites.

    Lately I've been adding protein powder to my greek yogurt. I've had some great pea protein, Swanson brand, (but you have to make sure you completely hydrate the powder otherwise it is really awful). I usually just cook my egg whites and add tomato/avocado or whatever I have on hand. My friend throws egg whites in her smoothies and likes them that way, but I'm not adventurous enough to try it.

    On a completely unhelpful note - this thread has made me REALLY want an omelet.

    OP, I make a 6-eggwhite omelette with one whole egg. I add butter, onions, spinach, pinch of garlic, turkey or chicken and some hot jalapenos peppers w/toast of white bread. The entire meal is less than 500 cals and around 55g of protein.

    why don't you eat all the egg?

    I do a ratio of whole egg to egg white- usually 2-4 whole eggs to 4-6 egg whites. the other day I did 6 whole eggs + 6 egg whites.

    And yes- egg whites alone IMHO are gross.

    The only way I tolerate egg whites is mixed with oatmeal (you add them in the last minute... you seem to like oatmeal, so try it out, it adds fluffiness and doesn't change the taste), one extra egg white in an omelet, and *maybe* sometimes an egg white omelet with tomatoes, feta (or mozzarella), and spinach.

    But I haven't bought them in ages and I don't miss them AT ALL. Life is too short to eat tasteless stuff just to meet a protein macro. Just tweak your diet a little bit. Find a non whey protein powder. Have more Greek yogurt, maybe add a splash of milk in your tea, eat more meat, fish, and veggies (neither of which you seem to eat... at all, apart from processed food).

    Seriously, drop the pizza and processed/fast food and eat meat and veggies...

    I frequently just drink a cup of (pasteurized) egg whites by themselves or use as the liquid in a smoothie. I don't know why so many people think they're gross! They make lots of old school cocktails (egg nog, whiskey sour) taste delicious and frothy.
