Okay, I have to rant for a second. For the past two months or so, my breakfasts have included a cup of egg whites. Well, this morning, I've come to the conclusion that I've had enough damn egg whites! I'm literally sick to my stomach, and get nauseous when I look at the uneaten portion! Is anyone else out there sick of egg whites? And what are you eating in it's place? I'm thinking for a while I'll opt for a scoop of whey protein....

    smoothies are my new thing. you can make them with whatever. if i use them for an entire meal i add the whey protien powder. I'm loving them. I would get sick of egg whites too.

    I can only take egg whites once in a while, I agree that they can make one gag. I need hot & spicy soysage or soyrizo tossed into whites to mask the, well, ickyness.
    I'm a fan of steel cut oats with dried fruit and pecans, soysage on toast, fat free yogurt with some fruit, grits with a little fat free cheddar and green chile, spirutein in an oj/banana/ice smoothie. Ok, now I'm hungry. I hope you're happy......

    Sounds like it would turn anyone's stomach. What about regular eggs? Or are you off eggs generally? You don't really need to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. Why not make extra of the previous night's dinner and have that instead?

    This. I eat two whole eggs every morning for breakfast. Granted I'm sure I wont want it all the time. Also, a spoonfull of alond butter with some fruit (eg sliced apple and blueberries)

    I tried eating egg whites... yuck! I'd rather eat the entire egg. I can live with a few extra calories.

    Maybe try making some granola and have it with fresh fruit and yogurt.

    I live on a farm and we have chickens so we have fresh organic eggs. They taste great plain but I would get sick of them if I had them everyday. Once a week is enough. I like oatmeal or cereal or some quioa with some kind of fruit. Maybe some ground flax seed. It's all about variety from day to day for me.

    I don't know what soysage is, but I'd rather choke down some egg whites. :sick:

    I like to have turkey sausage in a tortilla with mustard, or I have just started drinking green smoothies. They look gross but you cant taste the spinach that makes it green. It's really delicious. I, also, got to the point the look, smell and taste of eggs or egg whites in the morning makes me sick. You have to give yourself some variety or you will get bored and give up. Looks like you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

    Thanks for the ideas! I just had to rant, I literally want to throw up right now. I'll definitely incorporate some of your guys ideas. I normally do a cup of whites with a 1/4 cup of fat free cheese. It's loaded with protein.

    I have spinach with greek yogurt and various veggies on a sprouted grain wrap some mornings or steel cut oats and fruit. I also add egg whites to the wrap sometimes.
    I am just starting to like kale and pear smoothies as well.

    When I was doing just protein for breakfast I too got sick of eggs. Morning Star Farms makes a meatless sausage patty (i hated the links) that was really tasty and I used to have one for breakfast every morning. They also make "burger" patties of all types of flavors and those are good, too, plus have variety.

    Now I do shakes in the morning b/c I don't really like solid foods that early anymore. I do mostly protein with some fruit.

    I am borrowing a link I saw on another forum - if you want eggs - change the recipes!

    I have discovered Kashi Go Lean Almond Crunch. I am in love with it. You can have 1 cup and it has 9 grams of protein in it. I also like 1/2 cup of vanilla whey powder, 1 tblsp natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1 truvia packet and water for a nice smoothie!

    I've never been a fan of eggs in general (whites or whole). When I eat breakfast (whch isn't often) I usually either have a Kashi frozen waffle with soynut butter or peanut butter and a splash of pure maple syrup or some non-traditional breakfast food (leftovers from dinner, hummus and apple slices, chips and salsa, ... whatever is on hand and easy).

    I've started using pancake mix with a scoop of whey protein. Then I spread some peanut butter on it. Mmmm so good!!!

    Try this - its almost a treat and less than 400 calories

    fage 0% yogurt in a bowl
    add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
    dust with ground flax seed and a few walnut pieces
    grate 1 small square 85% coca lindt linder (or any high cocoa content chocolate) on top.

    You can do one whole egg and one egg white-add a little flavor.

    You can do nuts or nut butters (like peanut butter). I do yogurt (Greek is fabulous and very high in protein) and cheeses (string cheese/low fat/fat free cream cheese?), Milk? Carnation instant breakfast (comes in sugar free)

    I love eggs but I don't eat them as often as you. (no time during the week)

    If you're okay with eating whole eggs, I have a suggestion...I made this last week and it was great for a quick breakfast. Cook up a pound of lean ground turkey. then mix 7 eggs and a little bit of milk, like if you were making scrambled eggs. Put the cooked turkey in a casserole dish and pour the eggs on top. Top with any extras you want...I did diced onion and bell pepper. Bake at 350 for 45 mins. It's like a big, breadless quiche. It was great with hot sauce!

    I've been doing smoothies lately...FF milk, Isopure powder, frozen berries, peanut butter, flaxseed, a couple Splendas ice. :smile:
