❓FAQs

What is the best way to eat egg whites?

There are so many fun and tasty ways you can enjoy egg whites. Some of them include:

– making them into a white omelette with loads of veggies and a dash of olive oil
– turning them into an egg bake like an egg white frittata
– beating them with sugar into meringues to the top on an impressive dessert
– making them into scrambles and accompanying them with toast for an easy breakfast
– lightly frying before sliding them into buns as part of a sandwich

And loads more! These are just some I could think up off the top of my head. Remember to always get creative in the kitchen and try whipping up something that’s uniquely yours!

What do egg whites do in a recipe?

A lot of people favor egg whites over whole eggs because of their low-calorie nature but they contribute much more.

Egg whites are an essential part of many recipes due to their ability to provide structure, texture, flavour and to act as a leveling agent for many baked dishes, especially some of my favorite desserts.

What are the benefits of eating egg whites every day?

There are a lot of health benefits of egg whites, many of which you can enjoy by consuming them regularly. Egg whites are great for heart health as opposed to whole eggs that contain the yolk.

Although there’s a lot of debate on whether egg yolks are bad and there’s tangible evidence that in moderation, they’re not. If you’re on a medically restrictive diet and want to double down on them anyway without having to give up eggs as a whole, egg whites are a great replacement.

They are also a great source of protein and would help build muscle in that regard as well as are low in calories so if you’re trying to avoid those, egg whites would be great for you still.

What can I do with a bunch of egg whites?

Liquid egg whites can serve loads of purposes but if I had some on hand, i’d probably make myself some nice lemon meringue pie for a tasty dessert, a swiss meringue buttercream to go over my cake, scrambled eggs with a side of butter-seared toast for a filling breakfast or a powerful English frittata for a wholesome meal!

What can you eat egg whites with?

Fried egg whites would go well with toast or between slices of fresh bread for a sandwich or inside a whole host of other kinds of dishes.

Just think up something you feel would taste good and try it out. You never know if you’d be creating the next viral egg white recipe!

FAQs

What is the quickest way to cook eggs?

The fastest way to cook eggs is with the microwave. I’d say the quickest way to cook eggs is by soft boiling them in the microwave.

Besides some soft-boiled eggs with runny egg yolks, you could also make a scramble with some almond milk, salt and red pepper for about 5 minutes. Making perfect hard-boiled eggs is another alternative, just pair them with some toast and creamy avocado for a nice filling sandwich.

And, last but not the least, frying an egg (with some vegetable oil) is another easy and quick way to cook them. Whether the fried egg is sunny-side-up eggs or over hard eggs, fried eggs can be made in just a few minutes. Those are just some easy recipes and quick ways to cook eggs.

What to make when you have lots of eggs?

If you’ve got many fresh eggs and you’re curious on what you can use them do, I’d say a quiche, eggs benedict, frittata and shakshuka are your best options.

They’re some of my favorite egg recipes, make filling meals and usually include loads of healthy ingredients so be rest assured you’re getting the full health benefits of all those.

What can I eat with eggs to make them taste better?

There are a number of other tasty ingredients you can eat with eggs to make them taste better. Some of my favorite things to include are:
– hot sauce for a savory flavor
– mayo for a creamier texture
– seasoning for added taste
– your choice of veggies
– plant milk for a richer flavor
– fresh herbs like dill, parsley and cilantro
– a little butter instead of oil
– spices like onions and garlic
And so much more. Remember to always get creative with ways to use eggs in the kitchen, making your very own easy egg recipes. Don’t forget to always include super healthy foods so you can fortify yourself with nutrients as you do.

What are some good ways to eat eggs?

Poaching and boiling eggs are the best way to eat eggs.

They’re super simple, amongst the healthiest cooking methods, low heat so they help retain most of the egg’s nutrients and best of all, they don’t require extra ingredients that could potentially add some unnecessary calories.

Keep that in mind if you’re not looking to indulge and have healthy eating in mind.

Great Dinner Egg Recipes for Quick Weeknight Meals | Hurry The Food Up

Don’t you just hate those darn seasonal ingredients? They come into your life to give you a good time and before you know it, they’re gone when the weather changes.

Well, as much as I take advantage of them whenever those seasonal ingredients are bountiful, I enjoy the ones that rarely go out much better and that includes my favorite pantry staple, the egg.

Best High Protein Egg Recipes for Every Meal | Hurry The Food Up

I am a nutritionist and endurance coach for both professional and amateur athletes, and my experience shows the best of them have their food dialed in.

If you’re looking to up your protein content there’s a good chance you either want to build muscle, or slim down while toning up and looking and feeling great. Protein can help you do that.

In fact, this study on protein and muscle hypertrophy is incredibly insightful. There’s a clear link to increased protein intake and muscle growth, because protein is the key that drives the processes that create muscle.

How many high protein egg recipes do you know that can transform the humble egg into a culinary masterwork? I can think of a few.

Spanning from quick breakfasts to filling midweek meals, each idea boasts the healthiest ingredients (eggs play their big role, of course) and a superior protein count.

Did you know that egg protein provides all the essential amino acids your body needs? It’s also highly digestible and important to muscle health.

No wonder eggs are often punned as ‘eggceptional’. They truly stand out!

If you know how much protein is in an egg and how much you need per meal, you can easily make sure to get enough.1

Take two eggs and you already get 12g of protein. Then, a few more ingredients and bam, you’ve introduced a nutritious power player to your plate.

You can also check out our free high protein meal plan to get more valuable insight into your diet.

Let’s crack into irresistible high protein egg recipes!

Although you might just find everything you need on this list, I have a few more suggestions. Check out our finest egg recipes for brunch & lunch for more flavours!

And since eggs and our most important meal of the day can’t stay apart, don’t miss out on these egg recipes for the ultimate breakfast experience!

Now, headfirst into the best eggs for protein recipes!

Some of them are true classics like this tasty scramble with cheese while others take on some unexpected forms like cottage cheese pancakes with three ingredients.

If you want to boil it down to a two-ingredient recipe, then banana egg pancakes are the answer!

High protein egg recipes FAQs

What can I add to my eggs for more protein?

If you want to add more protein to your eggs, one way to go is to just add more eggs. Another option is to explore other high protein ingredient choices like dairy products, whole grains, tofu, beans, or even protein powder.

How do you cook eggs with the most protein?

To get the most protein out of an egg recipe, you can always add more eggs or some other protein foods like cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, tofu, or any other source of protein that you like.

How can I get 40g of protein for breakfast?

Getting 40g of protein for breakfast is possible with high protein egg recipes if you increase the number of eggs used. For example, a 4-egg omelette with added protein sources like feta or tofu can provide up to 40g of protein.

Adding some wholegrain bread to your omelette is another option.

You can also check out other high protein vegetarian recipes that are packed with protein from different sources.

Do 2 eggs give enough protein?

2 eggs provide about 12g of protein and are amazing as a part of a nutritious meal. However, it’s best to consider adding other protein-rich ingredients to meet your protein goals.

FAQs

How do you eat eggs as a snack?

There are multiple ways you can have eggs as a snack. Some of them include:

– having hard boiled eggs with a slice of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes in a sandwich
– scrambling the eggs and throwing it in a tortilla for a burrito
– basting them and serving them on crispy toast
– making an omelet and snugging it within two buns for a burger
– if you’ve got time on your hands, try making a batch of egg rolls you can enjoy all week long

Is snacking on eggs healthy?

Snacking on eggs is super healthy and an incredible way to incorporate more protein tino your diet.

There are also many health benefits of consuming eggs including raising your good cholesterol levels, providing a host of essential nutrients and antioxidants for eye health.

Wouldn’t want to miss out on all those now, would you? Try out any of the egg snack recipes above to make sure you don’t!

One thing to note – if you have (or have a high risk of) diabetes or cardiovascular disease then current advice is no more than one egg a day.

What is the healthiest way to eat an egg?

Sometimes the healthiest methods are the easiest, and that’s just the case in this situation. Amongst all these methods for cooking eggs, boiling eggs is a great way to have an egg. Poaching eggs is also a pretty good option as well.

Just make sure you are putting them on some kind of heat as cooking eggs makes them more digestible, but not too much heat and not for long periods as it strips them of their nutrients.

What goes with boiled eggs for snack?

Loads of other condiments go well with boiled eggs for snacks. Some of them are:

– some cheese, mayo and buns
– toast with lettuce and tomatoes
– fresh wholegrain bread, ginger garlic paste, tomatoes and veggies
– bread, creamy avocado, mayo, tomato slices, lettuce and bread

There’s no single recipe to making great snacks with hard-boiled eggs (soaked in soy sauce after cooking is lush too). Gather what you think would work best and give it a go!

Is boiled eggs a good snack?

Boiled eggs make a pretty good snack on their own. You can combine them with any of the ingredients I mentioned above or try to recreate any of the recipes listed above for an eggscelent snack time!

Meet and beat your dietary goals with these 70+ macro friendly recipes you can add to your meal plan today. Whether you’re looking to drop a few or build some muscle, these collections of healthy recipes will do just the trick!

Best Macro Friendly Recipes You Must Try | Hurry The Food Up

Ever wondered if you’re getting enough of the right nutrients in your meals?

Well, I sure have. Trying to make some gains was much more of a struggle when I only hit the gym and didn’t think too deeply about what I would have on my plate.

Just cut down on the unhealthy junk foods, throw in some lettuce salads every now and then and you’ll be fine, right?

Wrong.

I needed my body to have a balance of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs as well as fat) and that’s just what these macro-friendly recipes provide.

Some say it should be 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fats. Others suggest 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. Some even suggest 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat.

People might be a bit split on the numbers but we all agree that carbs as well as protein should make up a large part of your bowl and healthy fats be included in the smallest quantities (but never excluded).

Regardless, when I switched over to the macro side of life, there was no more wondering where all my hours in the gym went.

I started to see better results in shorter amounts of time and you could too.

Your health and fitness goals will be way easier to achieve when you eat right and these popular recipes are a great way to start!

70+ macro friendly recipes for the best balanced diet meals

As a bonus, I took out time to sort these recipes to fit whatever diet you already have going on.
