Egg Whites

Can anyone out there help me? My coach has me on egg whites in the morning (no surprise) but I HATE the way they taste. I know what you may say "suck it up" BUT does anyone have any ideas on making this better? How do you eat your egg whites? What makes it easy? Right now I am cooking them up and eating with a small amount of healthy salsa but it is almost unbearable for me. I can have them with veggies. What has worked for others? Some aspects of contest prep are really hard- this is definitely hard for me LOL Is there any product out there that you know of that is better? Anything you do to make it easier to eat egg whites?

I find they taste better when I cook them in coconut oil versus other oils. Not sure if that fits in your macros...
Also can you add salt & pepper?0 -
No salt- pepper would be fine. I will use coconut oil and adjust fats throughout the day if he ok's it. I know he said adding peppers or hot sauce is fine..... maybe if it is spicy enough I won't notice the whites lol I'm dreading the day I have to take egg whites on the go....... eating them cold sounds even WORSE! Do other people add water to make their's fluffier? I have seen pics of other girls and their's look A LOT whiter and fluffier than mine. As for the oatmeal, I used to be able to but I am cutting this week and its not on the plan

I guess I like egg whites so I had no trouble eating them cold. As for fluffier - water will make them fluff a bit, but if you just need to get them down wouldn't you want as little volume as possible?0

I eat egg whites/oats/strawberries or blueberries mixed together microwave for 3min every morning.0

You're right- maybe I am going down the wrong path by trying to add "fluff" hahahaha Ive never been a huge egg fan. I may try boiling some tonight and eating them that way tomorrow without the yolks.0

I love, love, love plain egg whites. I went from eating 13 a day to none right now in prep... so sad ANYWHO, you could mix them with oatmeal like others suggested. Hot sauce makes them taste good, too. 0

I agree with the oatmeal pancakes, they are really delish if you dont want to taste the egg whites. I LOVE egg wehites so I dont really have that problem. I find myself eating eggs for breakfast and dinner if I am coming home late, I just mix them with zucchini!0

Hopefully with time I will get used to it

I have no problem with egg whites, but came up with a little treat the other week -
Cooked egg whites with cinnamon & sugar free maple syrup!
I drool at this combo...0 -
This might sound a little crazy, but I've started adding a pinch of garlic powder to my eggs and I will NEVER go back! Its amazing what a difference it makes in taste. Try it. You'll like it.0

I tried Mrs. Dash (no salt) tomato basil seasoning on mine this morning, and it tasted good! Although I get one egg and 2 egg whites with oats in the morning. The yolk has vitamin D :-)0

I saw that in your diary and decided to give the egg whites mixed with 1 regular egg a try. It was awesome! Yesterday I made an omlette with spicy sprouts, sauteed spinach and 1 slice of swiss cheese. And of course garlic powder and pepper for seasoning. :happy: I'll have to get on this Mrs. Dash bandwagon next.0 -
I love omlettes. Mushroom, spinach, and swiss is a good combo.
As far as Mrs. Dash, I love to put the Fiesta Lime on white fish, the Caribbean Citrus on sweet potatoes, and I'll season my chicken with Garlic & Herb, Onion & Herb, or the Table Blend. The only one I have trouble with is the Lemon Pepper. I think it has too much pepper and not enough lemon. My opinion though.0 -
My breakfast contains 4 hard boiled egg whites with a packet of plain tuna mixed in it, along with oatmeal mixed with protein powder. Tastes delicious to me and DAMN that's a whole lot of protein to start my day!

i love egg whites!! i honestly cannot understand why anyone would ever prep with a food they hate? there are plenty of suitable substitutions and any decent coach should adjust that for you without you having to suffer.0
-
If you like spicy foods try adding a tad bit of red pepper... if you like sweeter add a pinch of cinnamen... sounds weird, but I tried both ways, just to test it out and it wasn't too bad.
Good luck!!0 -
Hopefully with time I will get used to it
I was in the same boat. Didn't matter what I did. I eventually got used to them.0 -
I use olive oil spray, 1 mushroom, some spinach, ground black pepper and a little bit of Nu Salt subsitute.0
-
I use Kroger fresh garden salsa to add flavor without the sodium.0
-
This is all great advice- thank you so much I know there ARE other options I just want to stick to what my coach says 100% I suppose I could have asked for a substitute but I thought I would give it a shot 0

I DRINK MINE!!! 8 OZ OF PASTURIZED CARTON EGG WHITES WITH 1/2 SCOOP OF PROTIEN POWER AND A LITTLE STEVIA AND I ADD MACADAMIA OIL FOR A HEALTHY FAT. MAKES SUCH A YUMMY CREAMY SHAKE! LOVE IT!!!!0

MuscleEgg! Pasteurized egg whites that come in different flavors. The chocolate ones taste kind of like coco pebbles when cooked...but you can add them to anything because they are pasteurized they are safe to drink also.

check the website, lots of info, different flavors, uses, etc.0 -
I was going to say the same as the last two girls. The egg whites that come in a carton are safe to drink so maybe you could add it to a protein shake or something? I just add garlic powder and pepper to mine. I also cook mine with organic coconut oil. I actually enjoy egg whites so much more hard boiled, no idea why lol.0

Go to MuseleEgg.com ....they have flavored, drinkable eggwhites! I just got mine last week and they are AMAZING!!!! They are pasturized 6 times so it makes them completely safe to drink. They have them in Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint Brownie, and Chocolate/Caramel flavors. I got the Chocolate and Choc/Caramel flavors. 1/2 cup = 5 egg whites. soooo easy to get down. I just recently made up a protein shake concoction and it's DELISHHHHHHHHHHHH!
1/2C unsweetened Almond Milk (reg or vanilla)
1/2C + 2TBS of the Choco/Caramel egg whites (equivalent of 6 eggwhites)
1 scoop choco protein powder
drop of vanilla and coconut extract
Shake and drink...soooooooooo good
It's good straight up too!0 -
Looks like I am super late for this topic, but in case anyone else has issues with egg whites. I put Salsa in it sometimes. Also egg whites with Turkey bacon (or another lean meat) with Sriracha hot sauce.0
