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:0 -
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.0 -
the yolks.
THIS! Unless I was making a merengue, then I'd put in sugar instead0 -
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.0 -
poor egg yolks :-(0

ditto - the yolks0

"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.
D'oh!0 -
Another yolk guy here...I prefer my eggs whole.0

-smart balance for cooking OR

-half a fajita tortilla OR
-moar bacons!0 -
I've discovered the advantages of eating egg whites. I use 4 egg whites and I've been putting in salsa (total calories = 72). I'm getting kind of burned out on salsa so I've gone to a half-ounce of shredded cheese (total calories = 123). What do you put in your egg whites?
I hope you cook your egg whites because if you don't you can get salmonella from drinking them raw, If you like uncooked egg whites then buy the ones that come in a carton that say pasteurized on it, that way you won't get sick.0 -

Let me guess...LOL...the "study" was probably performed on some obese individuals who generally ate **** and didn't really do any kind of exercise or anything...Frid adds that there are external factors, which Spence and researchers recognized, that could influence cholesterol levels....“It may be that people who consume a lot of eggs also consume a lot of other fatty foods,” he said.
Why these "studies" as so full of ****...0 -

Jalapeno stew sounds an awful lot like salsa. Your post just gave me and idea--Canadian Bacon. And I need more than 1 egg for breakfast. That's why I eat 4 egg whites.0
