Whole Or Egg Whites



Recommended Posts

What is everyone's thoughts on egg whites versus whole egg? I'll be started them next week (can't wait!) & would appreciate any feedback. Is is wrong to not use the egg whites only? Thanks so much...

I prefer egg whites. That's where the Protein is, and has less calories and fat. I buy only the egg whites. I use real eggs if I'm in the mood for scrambled eggs, but lately I prefer egg white omlets with turkey sausage crumbles and cheese.< /p>

I like the yolk more, but kept hearing that the white has all the Protein. My nutritionist even said it. I checked it and turns out the whole egg has seven Proteins with the white having more than four and the yolk having more than two. The yolk also has most of the nutritional value and, yes, more fat. Because I can only eat half an egg, I decided the yolk was still my preference.

I use them both - whites when I am making it to go with something, whole when I am just nukeing some eggs.< /p>

I initially after surgery ate the whole egg. But then it turned out that I enjoy eating eggs - and there is a lot of cholesterol in egg yolks. I have eggs for Breakfast and dinner frequently - and have thus changed to egg whites. I thought you would have to pay me serious money to eat egg whites and it turn out I can barely tell the difference.

I have eggs about once a week, usually on the weekend. My sleeve likes about 2 large eggs with yolk, some feta cheese and perhaps a little diced veggies. On the side I have one or two maple turkey sausage links. My sleeve tells me when it is full. If I have left over egg, my dog is standing by...

Sounds like a big meal for a sleeve! There is hope for normalcy as long as I am losing!

1-2 scrambled eggs is just about right for me with 1-2 turkey sausages. If it is to much, I have a cute smiley furry friend next to me waiting for hand outs. Who can resist that big grin!

I like both, but I really like the egg beaters southwest style (it has little bits of red and green pepper in it) with some sauteed onions and 2 TBSP. of low fat shredded mexican cheese. Regular egg beaters are too bland for me. :)

This sounds just like my Breakfast every day, but instead of sausage, I put a little fajita meat to chopped up grilled chicken into the eggs omelette style, along with some chopped up bell peppers, onions, mushrooms....whatever I got. But I had to give up the eggs in favor of egg beaters because my calories were getting up there. I don't mind a bit though. Less cholesterol and less fat.

I vote for the egg beaters also as they are convenient and I do watch my cholesterol. I just add 1/4 cup and some shredded cheese in the Nordic microwave egg cooker then 1 minute later it is done. Add a turkey sausage and viola a egg mcmuffin minus the muffin.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
