Thoughts on liquid egg whites as a source of protein?
Posted on 1/31/24 at 6:55 am

If my math serves me right, this carton of egg whites is roughly 500 calories and contains 100 grams of protein.
The carton is less than $5.
Any downside, other than a shite ton of eggs, to eating a whole carton of these a day?
Relatively cheap, low calories and a bunch of protein.
Thoughts?

It's probably fine. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of nutrients without the yolk. Plus, it tastes a lot better. I'd be concerned with the quality of the eggs since it's so cheap.

like rocket said, nothing wrong with it, but missing lots of micronutrients.
i would prefer to see people blend 2-3 eggs with maybe some egg white and low fat cottage cheese. gets the protein really high, gets your the micro nutrients and a good blend of different types of protein(ultra fast and slow releasing) and gets you some good fats and still pretty cheap.
also the cottage cheese actually makes the eggs very fluffy which is nice from a filling standpoint.

I hate cottage cheese by itself, but I started adding it to my scrambled eggs...gamechanger.

I will use liquid egg whites as my liquid base for smoothies. Works great! Just be prepared for major protein farts though.

2 whole eggs and 3/4-1 cup of egg whites has been my go-to most mornings here recently. Have added cottage cheese in the past, as was suggested above, as well. Can't go wrong going either of those routes, egg whites by themselves are just devoid of anything other than protein, really

I use them to prep some easy breakfast foods in the mornings when I'm cutting. Otherwise, I tend to just stick with whole eggs.
As others have said, they're fine, but just missing the nutrient profile of whole eggs.

I've never heard of adding cottage cheese to eggs but I'll give it a shot. Are you guys cooking the cottage cheese in with the eggs to cook?

The yolk provides a lot micronutrients. Unless you’re trying to do a cut to a really low BF%, I don’t see the point.

yep 1/2-3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese(good cultured is best but $$) to every 3 whole eggs. scramble or even better throw into the ninja and hit it like that....game changer...fluffy as hell, taste even better, and they almost never burn or get hard.
i got the tip from defranco

thats how i felt until i tried it in the eggs. i hate cottage cheese by itself, with fruit etc but im telling you, if you use a blender/ninja you will not taste it and actually makes the eggs better
promise, try it one time.
cottage cheese any other way is frickign disgusting.

I love cottage cheese. But of course I’ll eat anything.
My night snack the other night was two cups of cottage cheese, two tablespoons of PB2, dash of Splenda and fresh blueberries. It was a healthy, creamy PB&J sammich and gave me a happy.

Used to eat cottage cheese mixed with extra crunchy peanut butter for a night-time snack about 12 or so years ago

liquid egg whites
I've always been super weirded out with egg whites that come in a carton. Just can't be great quality...it seems to me anyway.
I'll keep cracking eggs. I usually do 1 yolk to 3 egg whites.

I know some people add liquid egg whites to eggs for scrambling, but I'd rather not dilute the flavor of the eggs that I scramble. I just drink the egg whites separately, if I need that extra protein shot with my egg meal. Really doesn't have a taste.
