Thoughts on Omelettes

If one more person says egg whites are healthier than whole eggs I am tracking your IP, driving/flying to your house and smackin you lol. There is very LITTLE nutrition in the white. All the b vitamins are in the yolk as well as the healthy fats. If you are eating whites only to get to desired protein level and still stay within caloric range and/or fat/prot/carb ratio then fine, eat them. Just stop saying nonsense about them being somehow healthier not that you have trown away the part with all the nutrition. End rant

Ditto.

Plus the yolk is where the flavor is.

Oh i love the yolks but have medical issues which is why I don't eat the yokes. Sometimes I'll have 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites but most of the time I don't eat the yokes. My cholesterol has gone way down by following my doctors advice and nutritionist. So I stick with what works for me and go by what my dr and nutritionist advise me to do. No butter for me or bacon or sausage. And its shown great results in my blood work. I cook with all natural spray pam because it keeps me from over doing it on the oils. Plus my food comes out of the pan much easier. Believe me I would love to use butter when I cook but I can't. Would love to have bacon, salami, whole milk etc etc. With my family history of high cholesterol and strokes and heart disease I watch all those things.

Yeah I have cholesterol issues too. I have seen arguments that the cholesterol in eggs does not raise your cholesterol. Blood work does not lie though, so keep doing what you are doing. I use most egg whites too, we will see how my blood work comes back next time. I use myself as a guinea pig to find what foods impact me and what don't.

Another egg eater here. I eat 3 eggs almost every day. Sometimes I have two whole eggs with two egg whites if I need to cut down on my calories for the day. I like to add veggies and a little cheese. Yum! Always used to think that eggs were bad, high in cholesterol, high in fat, etc. But I love the way they fill me up and keep me satisfied until lunch. And from reading other posts on here I have decided they are one of the healthiest foods to eat for breakfast.

I eat eggs often..

I had one this morning..

I love my mayoless egg salad and i put them in my fried rice and sometimes i throw one in my morning shake

eggs at IHOP are unhealthy. lol

eggs made at home loaded with healthy fillings are good for you

I don't make omeletes enough imo.. but when i do I love them with onion, peppers, tomatos, olives, feta, hot sauce or salsa. I've also put spinach in them and if i have left over meat from the night before i'll throw that in.. ham, chicken, pork.. whatever. it's all good in an egg.. Oh yea.. and that potato you didn't eat last night? Great in the frying pan with the above veggies!! mmmmm.. now I want eggs and hasbrowns.. LOL

Just be careful of bacon.. not because you should never eat it.. but because it's impossible to eat just 1 strip. LOL

Omelettes are quick, nutritious and satisfying! Expand your horizons though and occasionally call it a frittata.

I usually have eggs a few times a week..I make mines with 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites because most of the good stuff is in the yolk so why throw it away?!I make it into an omelette with peppers onions and sometimes a little shredded cheese..in addition to my omelette I have oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries mixed in it is very filling and gets me through most of the day without feeling hungry at all

Omelets can be healthy if done right. Now if you'll excuse me, I really want one XD

People at work are wrong.

The only way omelettes are unhealthy is if you don't use cheese on it. Because with cheese omelettes become super delicious (versus just staying delicious) and denying yourself cheese is unhealthy for your soul. Feed your soul. Feed it eggs with cheese brotha!

Yup blood work doesn't lie. I know someone who thinks she can eat whatever she wants and then complains about her cholesterol levels. She'll eat pizza and cheese cake. She's had strokes and has high BP. Well when I was told i had high BP and high cholesterol I got on it and cut out everything the dr and nutritionist told me to. I'm no longer on any meds of any kind. NOTHING! No more pain from my Fibro or RA or even my MS. I tried going gluten free but that was really tough to stick with every single day. And it didn't really make much of a difference in my blood work or how I felt. Right now I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was 25 years old.

Numbers don't lie. My total cholesterol dropped over 70 points to 170s and BP dropped from 140s/100s to 112/78 in 10 months never taking medication, just weight loss and increasing exercise. I eat 18 whole eggs a week. But what works for some doesn't for others.
