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!

I was just about to say the same thing!!! Good advice, I always use water for fluffy eggs! Funny how that works!

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
