Yummy! Spinach, soyrizo (soy chorizo), reduced fat cheese, and garlic, garlic, garlic. I've also been experimenting with corn tortillas, green chile and salsa. I guess since I live in New Mexico, it's a given.

The yoke is jokes a bit old now!0

I too use salsa, but I also love adding 1oz. cubed ham (35 cal) or 1 turkey sausage patty torn up (50 cal)0

Yolks. Seriously... why do people skip on this goodness?!
Cottage cheese mixed in with scrambled eggs is good!0 -
I've discovered the advantages of eating egg whites. I use 4 egg whites and I've been putting in salsa (total calories = 72). I'm getting kind of burned out on salsa so I've gone to a half-ounce of shredded cheese (total calories = 123). What do you put in your egg whites?
The yolk that came with the egg always goes in too. (Unless I am making meringue, of course) Sometimes I add chopped meat/veggies, occasionally cheese. This morning I used green bell pepper, onion, spinach, arugula, Rotel, and cheese.0 -
OK, I should have said, "and I'd like to keep it to under 200 calories". Thank you all you wisenheimers that put yolks in your egg whites. That never would have occurred to me. BTW, from this point forward no one else needs to chime in with yolks. I am looking for a total calorie breakfast of under 300 calories (including juice). Yolks have 61 calories in them and I don't want 180-240 extra calories from the yolks of 3-4 eggs. I'd rather get these calories from somewhere else at some other meal.
Mushrooms and onions, sounds good.
Spinach, sounds good
Feta, yes, I can see it.
Peppers, too bad I'm not a big fan of peppers.
Ketchup, ummm...will try it.
Srirracha sauce, will probably try it.
Cottage cheese? Do you fold it in with the egg whites in the pan?
Tomatoes, onion and spinach, sounds good, plus I have fresh tomatoes coming in the garden
Broccoli, yeah, I could see it.
Peanut butter and jelly? Ahhn no.
Mashed bananas, well, I might try it.
200 calories:

So far you have 59 calories left over to use
-olive oil for cooking
-OR moar bacons!
You don't have to listen to these yolkers lol, they like yolks and that's ok but you're better off without them, cut out the yolks and you can add more egg whites, 1 egg white has only 17 calories, 4 grams of protein, no fat, no cholesterol and half the sodium.0 -

Jalapeno stew sounds an awful lot like salsa. Your post just gave me and idea--Canadian Bacon. And I need more than 1 egg for breakfast. That's why I eat 4 egg whites.
reread it, I fixed it with more eggwhites added to the whole egg. Imagine that jalapeno salsa with egg yolk running all in it. You'll still be under 200 go back and read my edits. BTW i found that jalapeno stew when I was looking for tomato onion jalapeno combo which is what i like to make.
overall though I like to see different things on my plate rather than a scramble it makes me feel like I'm eating more plus I'm a purist I like tasting things individually a lot. so good luck dont be afraid of egg yolks, they're more scared of you than you are of them. :flowerforyou:0 -

59 leftover cals from my idea divided by 17 cals per egg white means he can add his 3 more egg whites and still meet his 200 cal goal. With eggs, a yolk, bacon, jalapenos, garlic, tomatoes, and onions, and coffee with creamer.
I think that's pretty damn good. Where do I pick up my award?0 -
"His research, published online in the journal Atherosclerosis, found that people who eat egg yolks regularly have about 2/3 as much plaque buildup as smokers."

Smoke'em while you got'em!
thank God for good dentists and dental insurance then.
:laugh:
Atherosclerosis is the hardening of, or plaque buildup, in the arteries. This article is talking about the plaque buildup in your heart, not your teeth.
To the OP I eat one whole egg with egg whites added almost every morning. Usually add either mushrooms and onions, a dash of cajun seasoning, some Texas Pete, spinach and tomatoes, soy sauce and veggies, or steak sauce and mushrooms.
D'oh!
Here I thought you were joking!
I didn't know if joking or serious... I just thought it was funny.... Of course I am laughing with you and not at you.
:flowerforyou:
Of course I don't really believe the article in it's entirety anyways.0 -

It's still less cals and more protein if you cut out the yolk, cut that sucker out and you can add 3 more egg whites Lol!

This is the one he's gonna choose. I just know it.
1) comes from a girl
2) lots of veggies (mine has more though 1/4 cup)
3) not a single demonic yolk
4) I'm not even sure he can handle chile
5) comes from a girl
6) cheese. people who are afraid of yolks are notorious for loving cheese and think fat free kind is a reasonable sub.
7) it has PRECISELY the number of egg whites he requests
8) comes from a girl0 -
Aside from all the savory options already given (veggies, spices, etc), I like to make mine sweet style.
1. cook egg whites sprinkled with cinnamon on nonstick pan. meanwhile, in I microwave a chopped apple (also sprinkled with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice) for 2 minutes. When the apple is done and egg whites are almost done, add the apple to the egg white and fold like an omelet or scramble. Apple can be replaced with baked sweet potato, roasted butternut squash, banana, or other fruits.
2. make protein pancakes using egg whites, pumpkin, cinnamon, and quick cook oats. Mix together and pour on nonstick pan and cook like a pancake.
3. Hard boil the eggs, discard the yolks and make egg salad
4. Add egg whites to your regular bowl of oatmeal to bump up the protein0 -

There is more nutrition in the yolks than in the whites.
ETA: The fats in the yolk help your body absorb the protein in the whites. 0 -
i suppose a pound of bacon wouldnt be a choice?0

MOARRRRRRRRR PROTEIN!!!
Yeah but I can at least eat it if it tastes good with the yolk and the jalapeno salsa or else I can't eat 7 plain egg whites. Give me ONE YOLK and salsa and I can eat it all...
