Egg Substitute?

[DaleJrFan]

Hi everyone,
Just a quick question re the egg substitutes - my mom has been on Induction for 3 weeks, doing GREAT. However, she's been getting sick to her stomach shortly after breakfast - which always includes 1 or 2 eggs. Yesterday she did not have an egg... nor did she have an upset stomach. So, our question is - can she switch from "real" eggs to the egg substitute products?
Thanks!!
Terry

Your mom doesn't have to eat eggs for breakfast or ever if they upset her stomach.

She needs to think outside the "eggs for breakfast" box. We have one ADBB member whose favorite breakfast is taco salad. We have another whose favorite breakfast is cold leftover roast pork. I tend to eat fried cheese with some sort of leftover meat or veg.

But if she really wants to use an egg substitute, she may. Egg substitutes are made from egg white. She will have to replace the lost fat by adding fat if she used the egg substitute. About 75% of a whole egg's calories is from the fat found in the yolk. However, if she has a problem with real eggs---like some sort of food allergy or food sensitivity--switching to egg subs might not help her stomach problems. It's the egg white that people are allergic to, not the yolks.

I agree with Megs. I only eat eggs for breakfast on the weekend. I usually eat chicken salad with celery.

I eat cheese and cherry tomatoes most morning for breakfast, dont remember the last time i had egg!

If she likes eggs and wants a replacement, she can do scrambled tofu! I don't know the exact preparation, but a member here has the same issue with eggs and occasionally eats tofu scramble instead.

I love tuna salad for breakfast....not too gross anyone out, but since I can't have toast I put my tuna on pork rinds....love it!

I don't think you can have tofu on induction.....

Tofu is a soy cheese, and therefore suitable for induction.

Eliminate eggs.........there is lots of yummy stuff for "breakfast".

I had the same problem with eggs for a long time. I had to start eating other things for breakfast for awhile. Luckily, after eliminating them for awhile, they no longer bother me and I just ate a 2-egg omelet with no problems. Yay! There's hope for the future.

I'm pretty sure that tofu can be added in the 6th rung (legumes) of OWL.
