I'm still in the pureed stage but have an egg question. Every diet I've ever been on has taught to only eat egg whites- but I haven't been told that with this new lifestyle. Does anyone have insight?

You will find both opinions of this forum... Personally...I eat the yolk as well. i can only put so much in my body and if I am going to eat an egg..Well it is all going down to help with the Protein intake..

That is just how I feel about it.

I eat two whole eggs.... Yolk and all!

I eat the whole egg -- it's funny but fried works better for me than scrambled. I would have thought scrambled egg would be a perfect food for me, but no. And I love a piece of omelet once in a while. Yummy, I think I just figured out lunch today, lol!

Gotta have the whole egg:-)

I couldn't do the scrambled either unless it was the eggbeaters...can eat poached medium well and have had an bite or two of my hubs omelet...egg salad worked well too...just don't know why I can't do the regular scrambled. they are good for your protein needs though!!! hope we helped Christy929!!! have a wonderful day.

I eat eggbeaters most of the time . I also have issues with real scrambled eggs not sure why. I can eat fried or poached eggs easily. I also eat the whole egg.. I think the yellow is blamed for cholesterol but if you do not have high cholesterol the yellow would work. I believe the whole egg is a good source of protein.plus to me It taste better with the yellow. I love deviled eggs too.

This isn't a diet if your band is adjusted properly so no need to eat only egg whites. But, I still use egg beaters if I'm making a crustless quiche or an omelet and want to add ingredients such as cheese, sausage, bacon etc.

We just use common sense and try to keep each meal around 300 calories give or take.

Thank you all! Keeping the yellow as a source of protein makes complete sense. I do not have choleterol problems so I'll stick to this. Have a great day!
