Serving size question

arvokid

So I normally use a brand of egg whites that is 25 calories per serving (46g), but my local store now that I've moved only has a brand that is 13 calories per serving (50g).

I normally have roughly 4.5 servings, which is 210g of liquid. Does this really mean that in order to get my calories the same with the new brand, I need to be using 442g of the liquid to get the same calories? It yields a MUCH larger plate of eggs, which feels like I'm eating way more than 115 cals.

That's more than 50% difference with freaking egg whites! Danger! Will Robinson! Please research the ingredients, because if both brands say that they have only egg whites then one of them is false.

Ingredients in carton with 25 cals/serving: 100% liquid egg whites

Ingredients in carton with 13 cals/serving: egg whites

I also just read the boxes and found this:
Conversions in carton with 25 cals/serving: 3 tbsp = 1 large egg

Conversions in carton with 13 cals/serving: 1/4 cup = 1 large egg

I am suspicious about the large variance in calories between the two different types of egg whites. That's something I'd look into.

I'd stick with the same serving size as normal, not up it. If you are trying to add calories and that's why you need to know if you are going to have to eat a huge plate of egg whites, eat an entire egg.

Where are you taking the info on the second one? The first one looks more accurate based on general information available online.
