    I have been eating an omelette for breakfeast this passed week, people at work are saying its totally unheathy.

    Any thoughts on this? And what other things are there out there good for breakfeast?

    Whoever is saying that has a strange view about food. Omelettes are full of nutrition! The more yummy you add to it, the more nutrients!

    yeah, i look at it as an easy way to load up on healthy vegetables in the morning, where otherwise i wouldn't eat vegetables until dinner probably.

    I often have half an avocado as a side to my omelets to add some good fats and a big glass of milk for the added calcium and additional protein. Enjoy!

    Many people don't like eggs because of the fat/cholesterol. I'm not saying that's right, just what a lot of people think.

    I use 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters, a slice of low-fat cheese, some ham or smoked turkey, and various veggies for my "normal" omelette... Just use some misted olive or canola oil to keep it from sticking.

    Usually gets me 25g of protein, 6g of fat (3g saturated) depending, and 200 calories or less.

    3 whole egg omlette with a splash of milk, some high quality chorizo (picante if possible), onions and a little green chilli is the breakfast of champions.

    I eat an egg white omelette every day. Just had one with fresh spinach, black beans and a little bit of crumbled feta. Low cal, filling and delicious!

    This exactly! Eggs got a bad rap a few years back. AND if you have high cholesterol, it is better to stay away from the yolks when you can, but they are wonderfully delicious and healthy and the protein is fabulous! I have an omelet every morning (1 whole egg and an egg white, with half a slice of provolone, and a slice of ham). Then I usually have a hard-boiled egg as a snack at some point during the day.

    Many people don't like eggs because of the fat/cholesterol. I'm not saying that's right, just what a lot of people think.

    I LOVE OMELETTES! And omelettes can be totally healthy depending on how you make it, just like anything. If you load it up with veggies, some lean meat and easy on the cheese, you've got a pretty healthy meal. Egg whites are going to be healthier than eggs with yolk. And as long as you watch your portion-size, omelettes are a great way to start your day. Tons of energy and flavor.

    Egg whites will be lower calories, but not necessarily "healthier". There is a lot of nutrition, and healthy fats in the yolk. Whole eggs will give you more flavor, and a fuller omelette, too.

    I love to make mine with a little cheese, sausage, and mushrooms. I'll usually use 2 whole eggs, and one egg white.

    Right on. Most people don't like to research these things and they really don't understand what they are even talking about. Most of the cholesterol in eggs isn't even absorbed by the body. Plus, eggs are low in saturated fat which makes them a very good choice.

    My thoughts on omelettes are that they taste really good.

    I'm a little worried by his profile picture (it suggests that he might have taken dieting further than mfp suggests:smile: ) but agree with Spade. If omelettes fit into your calorie count, they are a great meal. Eggs are a good food.

    It depends on what you're putting on it.
    I love my omelettes. I usually have a 3 egg white omelette with veggies and one slice of cheese on top. Sometimes I add a little bit of chopped up ham. My favorite things to have on my omelettes are diced tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and a slice of cheese. Salsa goes great on omelettes.
