I need to replace eggs for breakfast. I need something with protein, low sodium, low fat, and no cholesterol. What do you use?

    The only thing that fits for me during the week for breakfast is a protein shake. I use Spartan Nutrition whey with water. On weekends I have a Hilary's root veggie burger with low fat, no sodium added cottage cheese ( hard to find but Whole Foods sells it)

    To reduce my egg cholesterol and satisfy my love for eggs. I usually use one egg yolk and 3-5 egg whites with a little milk. I love the yolks but they have all the bad stuff. Good luck!

    I don't eat eggs, wish I did they are such handy food.

    I eat Greek Yogurt (I make my own) and a half bagel. Or a whole bagel if it's a gym day.

    One of my favorite breakfasts is an ocean's snack kit. I eat the one with rice crackers because it's like 145 calories. I just happen to like tuna and it has a little bit of mayo in it so it's not like just eating canned tuna.

    DH decided for a while to eliminate eggs (for invalid reasons, but whatev). I made a huge tofu scramble in a wok on Sunday & portioned it out for many days. It was convenient because he could grab & go on gym mornings (heat & eat at work). We had half a dozen varieties we rotated through. My favorite was with cauliflower, chickpeas & turmeric based seasoning. Also made a taco seasoning version with black beans, onions, etc. I don’t remember all of them, but all involved bulking with vegetables of some sort & heavy seasoning because, tofu. He eventually went back to eggs.

    My morning breakfast is a wheat English muffin topped with avocado and a hard boiled egg without the yolk.

    "Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. For years, dietary cholesterol was implicated in increasing blood cholesterol levels leading to the elevated risk of CVD. To date, extensive research did not show evidence to support a role of dietary cholesterol in the development of CVD. As a result, the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans removed the recommendations of restricting dietary cholesterol to 300 mg/day."

    This....unless you have a genetic disposition to cholesterol what you eat will have little effect.

    Actually, I think the point of the research is that it is genetic disposition and not dietary cholesterol that causes cardiovascular disease.

    If someone can find where it says it’s ok to eat more than 3 eggs/week (I know there’s cholesterol in other foods & that they focused on eggs), please point it out. I don’t mean that in an argumentative way, moreso in a lack of reading comprehension way.
