What's for breakfast? [egg beaters] [cottage cheese]
I wonder if what I ate for breakfast is okay / good? I eat the same thing almost every morning.
A cup lowfat cottage cheese and scrambled egg beaters.
Every once in a while I change his cottage cheese with berries or this morning, for example, I added 4 strips of fakin bacon. Egg beaters are unhealthy to eat every morning, as eggs are said to be?
This morning I had egg beaters, the cottage cheese, 4 strips of fakin bacon, and a latte made with skim milk. Is that too big of a breakfast? Better than overeating later.
I as a high protein, low carb breakfast to start my day . any other suggestions?
Reply:Well, i eat either a ham breakfast sandwich (full wheat bagel, low fat ham, no fat cheese) or drink a EAS protien Shake. Eggs are good but i know they get old fast for me. Thats why u gotta change it up a bit. If i ate eggs every morning for breakfast, it would make me want to eat a donut more cuz eggs suck after about a week. If you diversify what you eat your sure not to get bored with breakfast and not fall into the habbit of eating crap once and a while
Reply:this morning I had two boil eggs, handfull of nuts.
Coffee/glass of orange and took my vitamins :wave:Reply:Yes, egg beaters come frozen.
I love egg beaters, but they are rather expensive. For someone like me, though, it's definitely worth it.
I just made a mexcian rendition of my typical breakfast: egg beaters with lowfat cheese, salsa, guac, and cottage cheese. Mmmmmmmmm…
Reply:I'll use a sugar free syrop sometimes. When I eat them cold I like to put natural crunchy peanut butter on them.
The egg whites I use come in a carton, like milk, and stay fresh for about 4 weeks if unopened. When you open them you must use them w/in 7 days. They are pasturized, btw, so you can use them in shakes, etc. They can also be frozen for longer storage. I think egg beaters come frozen, don't they, guy?

Reply:The pancakes sound interesting…do you use syrup or berries?
Also…how do the egg beaters stay fresh? One would assume there are perservatives…chemicals? No?
Reply:Yep
They're low fat, low cal and contain vitamins.
Reply:Wow, I never knew that egg beaters was made with real eggs. I like that because I would really wonder what sort of interesting chemicals they would have to mix together to get "fake" eggs.
Is it still ok for me to eat these every morning?
Reply:Egg Beaters are yolkless eggs. I can't really call it an egg substitute because it's made with real eggs, but they only use the whites. Great for people like me watching their cholesterol.
Thanks, guy. I use a similar product, JustEggWhites, or something to that effect.
If you're up for an interesting read type +cholesterol +myth into google and check out the first hit you get. FYI, the author Barry Groves is a published author with a Doctorate in Nutrition.

Reply:Your breakfasts look good
I use egg whites as well, I"m not sure if egg beaters are the same, or are they yolks too?

I have similar breakfast, but I throw in some slow cooked rolled oats as a slow burning carb.
Sometimes I mix protein powder w/ the oats and a tbsp of natural peanut butter to make "proatmeal".
I have also mixed cottage cheese, egg white, some oat bran or raw rolled oats w/ some baking powder and brown sugar twin in the blender and then make pancakes with them.
BTW, one real egg, if you're eating low fat, is perfectly healthy. The yolk is where all the anti oxidants are. If you're eating low carb then its even more 'perfectly healthy'
