egg beaters vs real eggs

So....I'm in the minority with this one, but I like my fake eggs in the morning/brunch. I haven't really watched sodium (already watching fats and carbs) but I like the taste of egg beaters and the texture (less rubbery than a real egg). I mix it w/ veggies and some milk and it's delicious. I also find it less messy and that it cooks faster, better etc. I do have eggs once in a while but only when I run out of the fake eggs.

I'm on a first name basis with the hens that provide my eggs. They would be greatly offended if I bought egg beaters. :P

Real, whole foods are always going to win out over man-made concoctions in my book.

I agree with hajjcomb. I LOVE egg beaters. For those who thing the sodium is too high... drink more water? Either way its a matter of opinion regarding taste and how many calories you want to use on an egg.

I am so picky when it comes to eating eggs (example: I pick and prode until all those white slimey, gooey, portions connected to the yolk are removed before eating. I know there is a real name for that but can't remember.) that egg beaters are perfect for me.

I do it too, although I don't know why..the whole egg is slimy until its cooked.
I do like Egg beaters cause they are super fluffy, but if I do egg beaters one day and real egg the next, its gotta be a decent balance. lol

I like Eggbeaters, they are easy and most of us are already watching our sodium so if your under.....your under no matter how much sodium you get from the eggbeaters. If there is one thing I have learned it's most things in moderation are fine. I still use real eggs sometimes but for my quick breakfasts to take to work eggbeaters work great for me and they keep me happy and under my calorie goal. So do whats easy for you, just do it in moderation.

Eggs! It's funny this came up... I was just talking on my feed about how I'm getting chickens this week so I'll have my own farm fresh WHOLE eggs.

You lucky duck!!!

I think I do it because when I was little I always thought the little slimy thing was the actual baby chicken. I now know it isnt.. but after so many years of thinking that I just cant eat it now haha

I am glad I'm not the only one who does that lol. It vaguely reminds me of an ambilical cord :blushing:

(I know that gives a not so pleasant mental picture!- SORRY)
