Hello, I ate 3 egg whites made from Organic Valley Omega 3 eggs, then found that the food data base says that Omega 3 egg (whites only) have 70 calories each! that can't be right, don't egg whites have only 17 calories in each? Could it be that these omega-3 enriched eggs have higher calories then regular eggs? I searched and searched on the internet and cannot find my answer. Does anyone know for sure here?

    You searched? I just googled and it came up with
    http://www.organicvalley.coop/products/eggs/organiceggwhites/

    I also looked on the MFP database under Organic Valley - Organic Egg Whites

    Its easy then to see the calories as all the nutritional information is on the link.

    Oh Tigger, thanks for the info.

    I just realized that I had the brand of eggs completely wrong, which is why I couldn't find anything in my internet search. (Although I do realize that different brands should have no effect on calories)... But anyway here is the incorrect info on the MFP data base in case you're interested in why I was confused in the first place, it read:

    Omega-3 large brown eggs - white only
    Wilcox Farms, 1 eggs white = 70 cal

    Guess I should report the error. ;)
    Have a great day!
