Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I use egg whites all the time now. Especially on mornings where I feel really hungry a half cup of egg whites along with a piece of toast and yogurt really fills me up. I also make really nice omellates out of egg whites. I really enjoy the taste, and I don't miss regular eggs. I do eat regular eggs when visiting family ect but usually have one egg instead of the usual two. I find egg beaters has an odd taste so I prefer to use just the whites. 240.5/170/165 Beth wrote: > Does it taste ok without the yolk?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 You lucky buggers. And egg for us is 2 points! But with around 75- 80 calories and 5-6 grams of fat per egg that does seem to make sense. Beth " Donna Bonali " <d.bonali@m...> wrote: > Is that all? Really? Wonderful!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Er, my Food Companion has one egg as 2 points. Three egg whites are 1 point total. Re: Eggs? You lucky buggers.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Well Kim crap! Now I'm over by two points and have to refigure my menu! And it's all your fault! LOL!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Sorry!!! By the way, I have found the " trick " that works for on eating scrambled egg whites.. I add three drops of yellow food coloring! I swear that then they look as if the yolk was still there. One time, though, I decided to add some red too. Hmmm.. they turned out peach colored. While they still tasted just fine, peach eggs are not very appealing. Re: Re: Eggs? Well Kim crap! Now I'm over by two points and have to refigure my menu! And it's all your fault! LOL!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Does it taste ok without the yolk? I mean, I'm sure you must think they do or you wouldn't be eating it that way! lol But, how is the difference?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Tastes eggsactly (exactly) the same! I would never know if someone else had made them for me. I use three egg whites, three drops of yellow and some skim milk. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the milk. Re: Eggs? Does it taste ok without the yolk?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Here's another egg idea, too. You can have two egg whites for 0 -- yep 0 -- points. Beat two whites with one egg (2 points) for a much larger scramble/omelette for only 2 points. Here is my very favorite higher protein breakfast. I eat this for breakfast after I lift. I call it " three pepper frittata " : 1 egg and 2 whites, beaten (OR sub 1/2 cup egg beaters) 1/2 cup frozen triple pepper mix (also called " Pepper stir fry. " It has green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers and onions in it) 1/2 ounce light sharp cheddar, grated Lightly spray a medium saute pan with olive oil spray. Stir fry the frozen pepper mix over high heat until hot. Spread evenly over bottom of pan. Turn heat to med-low and pour beaten egg mixture into pan. Let sit until eggs set, but are still wet on top. Meanwhile, turn on the broiler. Sprinkle cheese evenly over top of eggs. Put saute pan under broiler and watch closely...as soon as eggs are set, it's done! Put on a plate and enjoy your 3-pt breakfast. Or add some light whole grain toast (2 sl for 1 pt) or a serving of kashi with 1/2 c skim (2 pts total) for a very filling, stick-with-you-until-lunch breakfast.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 What do you do with the yolks? Just throw them out? I feel like it is such a waste and can't bring myself to do it.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 You can freeze the yolks for a later use. I'm not sure for how long though. It does seem wasteful, but just think this little ditty that helps me.... " I can waste this or I can waist this " makes it easier to toss then! G. Re: Eggs? What do you do with the yolks?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 , I used to freeze them and use them later in baking stuff. They freeze well. However, I never used as many as I froze. I'm the queen of frugality, so I hated the thought of wasting them, too. But I finally " got over " my fear of wasting them. That fear of wasting stuff is one of the reasons I was fat to begin with! When I buy eggs on sale, it still works out to be cheaper to waste the yolks and use only the whites than if I were to buy egg beaters all the time. So I waste 'em. In the long run, poor health would be more costly to me than the money I threw away in egg yolks. Lynne Lapsed Lifer, Recommitted 1-22-03 217/173/159/145?

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Isn't that freeing, Lynne? I tell you, once I started just THROWING AWAY leftovers I began to feel like I really had control over my life! During my recent recovery a lot of people brought us food. We always ate some, but often it was way more fatty than we wanted to eat. If it wasn't absolutely, " throw me on the floor and let me roll around in it naked " delicious, we learned to just toss it. (I hope that doesn't sound horrible, but I just don't eat grocery store fried chicken for anyone. I appreciate the thought, but ugh.) ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` Tory Klementsen, MCP A+ Career and Technology Educator The successful person will do things that the unsuccessful person will not. > Re: Eggs? > > > , > > I used to freeze them and use them later in baking stuff.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Do you have a recipe? No, I don't want to eat it, but I do make cheesecakes for a couple different charity auctions where I've committed to a cheesecake a month for a year for three different people....so I'm always looking for recipes to try. And, something that is " throw me on the floor and let me roll around in it naked " has the highest endorsement I can think of!! Thanks, Re: Eggs? Snickers cheesecake. Definitely.
