Default High protein to curb appetite?

Depending on which expert you talk to, they tell you that it is either
carbs, protein, or fat...not to mention water and fiber (OK, that
would be me with the fiber), that allows you to feel full, presumably
for more than a few minutes. Darned if I will try the fat, but I did a
little experiment with protein. The protein did make me feel full for
a long time...this on the same no. of calories that I would usually
take-in with complex carbs. What I did was make twice the amount of
meringues. Egg white as you know, is loaded with protein- about 3
grams per large egg. Egg whites also have few calories, about 15 per
large egg or 130 for a half cup which is about 6 egg whites. Since
there is no fat, water or fiber in egg whites and they are lower in
carbs than I usually eat, this seems to say...to me at least that
eating higher protein helps curb appetite. I had the meringues at
about 5 PM and didn't eat another thing the rest of the day and was
fine. It would sure be easy to incorporate egg whites into a diet.
Eggbeaters are essentially egg whites with a little gelatin, food
coloring and seasoning. dkw

You are preachin' to the choir here, LOL! I eat a fair few egg white
omelets. Love 'em. Good lean protein. I do use yolks some of the time,
usually from an Omega3 egg but most of the omelet is just the whites.

However, I *HATE* Eggbeaters. They just taste YUCK to me compared to
basic egg whites. I started by buying All Whites... which were fine,
but often sold out at the store, so I tried Eggbeaters and couldn't
stand 'em. Now, I just separate plain old eggs. It's cheaper and they
are easier to find anyway.

I've never tried an omelet prepared with egg whites. Do you prepare it the
same as a regular one? I would think it would have a different texture and
color.....

My favorite way to prepare eggs is poached Got this from Chris....

Well, on workout days, I usually use a whole omega3 egg... so that
adds a little color. But when I just do whites, it tends to be a
little on the light side. Doesn't bother me. If you want a little
color, sprinkle in some ground turmeric spice, which is also tasty and
good for you!

I don't fix mine any differently from when I choose to use some whole
eggs in it. I do give my non-stick pan a good spritz or two of olive
oil with my mister, because I think the whites tend to stick a bit
more easily.

My basic procedure... heat non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot,
spritz with olive oil. Reduce heat slightly (I go one notch down on my
stove dial), add beaten egg whites. Watch, as it starts to set up,
push it in or lift and let the liquid eggs run under. Then I set a
timer for about 30 seconds and do this again. Then I cover the pan for
one minute. Uncover, slide the omelet off onto a plate and flip it
back in the pan. At that point, I usually add my cheese if I'm using
it and veggies, which I have generally pre-sauted in a dry non-stick
pan.

I let that cook another two minutes, slide it out of the pan and fold
the top over the veggies. It tends to be light and fluffy and tender
if you don't overcook.

I don't like runny eggs, so I like cooking it both sides. It sounds
more complicated than it is...

For veggies, just about anything you like works and you can play with
the spices. Sometimes I omit cheese and add a tablespoon of nuts
instead. Sometimes I have no yolk but cheese AND nuts. I vary it to
suit my calorie needs for the day and what I'm putting in it for
veggies.

Sometimes instead of the Alpine Lace reduced fat swiss, I like a
reduced fat feta.

How many eggs depends on the calories/protein level you want. I'm
eating roughly 40/30/30 these days... protein, carb, fat. So I tend to
want either 5-6 whites to get my protein in for the meal. Those at
lower weights probably need fewer.
