Fluffier Egg Whites? "real Cooks Please Help"



Recommended Posts

I use egg whites from the carton. Is there a way to make egg whites fluffier? I use them scrambled or in an omelet.

I'm currently on my preop eating plan and trying to go from a massive number of high cal, high carb foods to staying under 900 calories with high Protein, low fat and carbs. Doing OK with the selections, but need a bit more fluff to "feel" like there's more. Doing one step at a time.... change what I eat then start reducing how much I eat.. although the volume is significantly already reduced! Not yet sleeved but trying to reduce bad habits and increase good habits now. Need to keep doing well until hopefully my sleeve in mid January.

I also prefer egg whites, but I have a problem with the carton. So I just buy a boiled egg and only eat the white part. I'd live to see the responses.

If you want to make them fluffier add a couple of tablespoons of Water and whisk together. Milk makes eggs firmer and water makes them fluffier! Enjoy!

The other trick is to put your egg whites and a little Water into a blender. That will whip more air into them than most can do with a whisk. Just make sure you have your hot pan read after you blend.

stick blenders work great and are easier to clean.

The other trick that many people don't follow is to let the bottoms cook before even touching them! Whisk, pour and let sit on low/medium heat for a bit until you see a nice little edge of solid white forming. Then quickly pull your spatula through and leave alone again. Egg whites are temperamental and can turn thick/watery if played with too much.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
