171.0 Taking It Back About Egg Substitutes :)

I take it all back about Egg Beaters. I sat down and carefully read all of the ingredients and here's what I learned as I took my time and didn't just freak out at number of things added: less than 1% of the ingredients make up the additives which are all vitamins, except for the yellow food coloring and the maltodextrin. Who knew a little sugar would be needed, but I don't think that any of this is going to put my liver over the edge! So I'm rethinking the next omelet I will order down at our local Grill.

And, it's fun and interesting to see my weight returning to my goal weight, slowly but surely. I have been very aware of what I have been eating, but I just know that the 170 weight is where my body wants to be.

172.0 Eggs and Additives

Lately I got into a conversation about egg substitutes versus egg whites as options instead of real eggs. Now I really don't like eggs and have never liked the white portion of a fried or poached egg. I thought egg substitutes were pretty harmless until I read all of the additives listed on the container, so now I'm not real sold on eating them.

So this morning thought I got it right. I ordered one egg with chopped fresh tomatoes, spinach (of course :)), and portabello mushrooms cooked like a scrambled egg. It was wonderful, and kept me feeling full for about 5 and half hours. But as I'm writing this I'm beginning to wonder if the egg they used at the restaurant was a real egg or a commercially prepared egg product full of additives! Maybe I should just stay home or only order toast.
