    I like to put mushrooms and cheese in my egg whites. Ham would be good too.

    I buy these pre-packed "egg" things covered in a thin shell - each of them contains egg white and exactly one yolk - amazing things!

    Cilantro, onion, and sometimes some avocado. I've added fat free cream cheese in with it, too, but I don't make a habit of it. SO yummy. Oh! And some green taco sauce over the top of it. DELICIOUS!

    Oh yes, how could I forget! Mashed up banana and egg white pancakes! I usually add ground flax and fold in some blueberries or dark chocolate chips - even protein powder sometimes. Love them!

    "His research, published online in the journal Atherosclerosis, found that people who eat egg yolks regularly have about 2/3 as much plaque buildup as smokers."

    Smoke'em while you got'em!

    thank God for good dentists and dental insurance then.

    :laugh:

    Atherosclerosis is the hardening of, or plaque buildup, in the arteries. This article is talking about the plaque buildup in your heart, not your teeth.

    To the OP I eat one whole egg with egg whites added almost every morning. Usually add either mushrooms and onions, a dash of cajun seasoning, some Texas Pete, spinach and tomatoes, soy sauce and veggies, or steak sauce and mushrooms.

    Oh my goodness - everything!

    Leftover BBQ chicken (shredded)
    spinach, tomatoes, onion, mushrooms
    Adele's teriyaki chicken meatballs (my current favorite)
    Leftover fish my husband cooked the night before
    Turkey sausage
    Turkey bacon
    shrimp
    Morning Star maple sausage patties
    Morning Star mushroom burgers/tomato basil pizza burgers
    crab meat
    soy sauce

    The best eggs are leftover omelets my husband makes for me, made from whatever stuff we have in our fridge

    crab and cheese omelets are the BEST!

    Here is the kicker! BANANA this is not joke this is absolutely dessert heaven. Mash one banana and mix it with two eggs or the equivalent number of egg whites. Mix together and cook omelet style. Don't put anything on them. Just eat and enjoy!! Its truly magic in your mouth.

    Enjoy!

    Shredded soy cheese is good. Veggie Shreds is what they are called.

    Or for real cheese, the Low-Fat Sargento Mozzerella cheese is the same calories (70 per 1/4 cup).

    Sauteed sliced zucchini is good.

    Can't go wrong with sliced mushrooms either.

    For seasoning, Old Bay is awesome. Also any of the Mrs. Dash seasonings (Chipotle is good).

    I can't have the yolks because of my cholesterol. Daily goal is 200 mg, and 1 yolk has 238 mg. Miss the yolks.

    I like to make whole scrambled eggs with a bit of mayonnaise in the morning, but in the afternoon I don't like yolks. It's the same way that my coffee in the morning has to be hot, but any other time of day it has to be cold or I don't like it. Call it a quirk.

    With my egg whites in the afternoon, I like fresh spinach or basil, sun dried tomatoes, sometimes kalamata olives and maybe some mozzarella.

    I do 5 egg whites and a half a cup of steel cut oats in a blender then fry it. Kind of taste like a pancake but healthy. Yum!

    Hot Sauce is a go-to to add A LOT of flavor to anything. Generally, egg whites are great with Spinach which is a common reply on here.

    Are the steel cut oats raw or cooked?

    Never heard of adding oats. You add anything else to this?

    Egg white
    Egg white is the common name for the clear liquid contained within an egg. In chickens it is formed from the layers of secretions of the anterior section of the hen's oviduct during the passage of the egg. Wikipedia

    As soon as I figure out a sauce for less than 61 calories that happens to go really good with egg whites and also happens to have vitamins in it and nearly doubles the protein, I will start putting that in my egg whites. It would be a superplus if that sauce also required no extra effort to prepare. In the meantime I'm putting the yolk, ground sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper.

    GET YOLKED! :drinker:

    always- use the whole egg with sauted onions, various cheeses, sea salt/ cracked pepper and sriracha chilli sauce ( i learned about on MFP ) AND love it.... then wrapped in Ole Extreme Tortilla.

    other opt. ingred i add, roma tomatoes, spinach, ham, bacon, sausage or shrimp. i love penzeys, so i have several herbs and spices i will usually throw in too.

    the yolks. :)


    THIS! Unless I was making a merengue, then I'd put in sugar instead :)

    OK, I should have said, "and I'd like to keep it to under 200 calories". Thank you all you wisenheimers that put yolks in your egg whites. That never would have occurred to me. BTW, from this point forward no one else needs to chime in with yolks. I am looking for a total calorie breakfast of under 300 calories (including juice). Yolks have 61 calories in them and I don't want 180-240 extra calories from the yolks of 3-4 eggs. I'd rather get these calories from somewhere else at some other meal.

    Mushrooms and onions, sounds good.
    Spinach, sounds good
    Feta, yes, I can see it.
    Peppers, too bad I'm not a big fan of peppers.
    Ketchup, ummm...will try it.
    Srirracha sauce, will probably try it.
    Cottage cheese? Do you fold it in with the egg whites in the pan?
    Tomatoes, onion and spinach, sounds good, plus I have fresh tomatoes coming in the garden
    Broccoli, yeah, I could see it.
    Peanut butter and jelly? Ahhn no.
    Mashed bananas, well, I might try it.
