I won't say exactly the same, but the difference is minimal. 

Since I started using liquid egg whites, I've also been a lot more consistant about eating (a healthy) breakfast.  It's just faster and easier to cook with them than it is regular eggs.  I just pour a little bit into a pan, put a nice tomato slice on top, sprinkle a little oregano and a dash of parmesan cheese and like 30 seconds later, I've got a nice egg patty for a breakfast sandwich.  Put it on a toasted everything bagel and I'm good to go.     

I'll still use regular eggs for certain recipes but that's about it.

I do strictly egg whites with onions/peppers or mushrooms and turkey sausage on the weekdays. Weekends I add a shtein load of cheese.

So egg product and egg whites is almost the same thing...except you get the yellow color with egg product? From what I read egg product is made from egg whites with some added vitamins that are found in yolks.

Couldn't tell ya.  When I first started looking to get away from eggs I saw Egg Beaters in the store.  They had the yellow color but were farging expensive.  I looked next to the Egg Beaters and saw some Stater Bros liquid egg whites for about 1/4 of the cost.  So I bought them and haven't looked back.

You're overthinking it, throw some in a pan and enjoy.

Haha....was the stromboli the same brand? "Better than boli: all of the taste and only 10 calories". Man, wouldn't that be nice.

[Sgt PSN]

Nah man, the boli was legit.  Was easily enough to feed 2 people.  I intentionally skipped lunch yesterday so I could crush that thing.  My gut kind of hates me for it today though. 

[Zanshin]

Looked good.

Very good article about the food industry and the dietary problems they pose. Long, but worthwhile.

I don't have an account. Please print the article and re-type it as a post on , but proofread your work first.

Just opened for me, and I don't have an account. Weird. I'd post it here, but it's way too long.

Short obvious version: Food companies want to make money at your expense and have been conspiring against you for decades. Don't eat their shtein.

Just made myself an egg-white omelette with tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, and avocado. Worth the wait.

[Sgt PSN]

I bang out a breakfast sandwich most mornings.  Egg whites, tomato slice, a dash of italian seasoning and a sprinkle of parm on a toasted everything bagel.  Sometimes I add a slice of white american, sometimes I go without.  shtein is delicious.  Guess I should throw some avocado on their too.

Other than on sandwiches, I've cut back on cheese. It's made a difference. I'm not depriving myself of anything, but my intake is down to a quarter of what I used to eat. I don't do seasoning, in fact some might think the food I eat is pretty bland compared to all the shtein they add for flavor. But it works for me.
