I'll add some brown rice and Sriracha to my egg whites. It tastes great IMO..

I use spinach, onions, sweet red peppers, sweet orange peppers, crushed garlic, and a little salt.

I usually do one whole egg and then two egg whites. I always add chopped garlic and onions. From there it's usually bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. Leftover chicken breast is good, ham, or lean sausage also works. I do a lot of stir fry's too so I'll use those veggies like shredded cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and snow peas as well. Perhaps play around with different cheeses too like parmesean and provolone.

Salsa, greek yogurt or sour cream, oh....and BACON...mostly BACON.


I usually use whole eggs but I'm sure it would be good with just whites.

Having a higher "reserve" of fat doesn't mean your body won't go into starvation mode. When you restrict your calories too much, your body doesn't allow you to lose weight because it believes you're starving. The general advice is to consume at least 1200 net calories/day, accounting for calories lost with exercise. Set your MFP goal to lose 2 pounds/week and see what you're really supposed to be eating. Stay as close to this as possible; don't strive to stay under.

Also, don't be afraid of grains! Whole grains are good for you and very filling. Rather than cutting out grains completely, I avoid processed grains when possible.

I actually love the taste of egg whites! I typically eat 1 whole egg or 1 egg + 1-3 whites. I love scrambling with bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, zucchini... whatever veggies I have, in a small amount of olive oil. I add black pepper, basil, garlic... anything I'm in the mood for, and sometimes top with some salsa or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say.

All the best nutrients are in the yolk. Eat it and lots more food as well. Also reading this thread made me want to cook hash browns tomorrow. . . in butter. I think I will.

One egg, several whites, sautéed spinach, reduced fat cheese, salsa (added at the end). Yum.

Whole eggs are a perfect protein. Seriously. Tossing the yolk is throwing away most of the nutrition. If you need to cut calories you should do it elsewhere.

QFT!

Eggs are not only a perfect protein, they are a perfect food period. I wholeheartedly agree, you aren't going to get fat eating eggs and what you are "throwing" out is not worth the calorie deficit. Eat an egg. Add an egg white or two if you need to. Eggs are good for you. The fat is really good for you.

My go-to breakfast? 60 cal toast, egg and egg white poached, with a slice of ham and swiss cheese. 225 calories of perfection.

I make a couple different egg white frittatas:

in an oven safe pan -
sautee onions, jalapeno, asparagus, whatever.
Add a couple handfuls spinach and wilt
add 16 oz liquid egg whites
top with a couple oz feta
put in 350 oven for 20 mins/until done

6 servings at +/- 125 cal

Buffalo mushroom:

Sautee mushrooms, onions
mix 2T (or whatever makes you happy) Frank's Red Hot (or any cayenne/louisana red hot sauce) with egg whites
add egg white mixture to mushrooms
top with 2T crumbled blue cheese
350 oven 20 mins

Chop and saute onions,mushrooms,red peppers,zuchinni in a pan with cooking spray and spices then pour in eggwhites. Cook till done and place on whole grain bread with spinach on top.

I usually just mix liquid egg whites into drinks like green smoothies. All of the kind in the cartons are pasteurized so you don't actually have to cook them.
