Jodi Bager J. Gourmet www.jgourmet.ca www.grainfreegourmet.com -----Original Message----- From: Carol Frilegh To: Jodi Bager; Lass I know we have been using the cartons of egg whites but Elaine said this and it was posted to Pecanbread today: 2) Are egg substitutes (Egg Beaters) allowed? I'm new to the diet (5 days...doing GREAT!) I'm sure I'll have more questions, but this is all for now! Elaine writes: Welcome and glad you have already notice progress. Please do not use instant coffee or eggbeaters. When food is handled by a manufacturer, there are many processes and chemicals used which are not even mentioned. Please do not take a whole food like an egg and think one part of it is going to be a godsend Carol F.

Liquid Egg Substitutes Egg substitutes are packaged and sold as refrigerated or frozen food items. The main purpose of egg substitutes is to cut down or eliminate the high cholesterol content of eggs. All of the cholesterol is contained within the yolk, so most substitutes are produced using egg whites only, with other ingredients added as a substitution for the yolks. Some of these additional ingredients may include tofu, skim milk, starch, and artificial flavorings. Egg substitutes are often used for scrambling or for preparing omelets. Egg whites in the carton with no added ingredients are. In Canada the brand is " Simply Egg Whites. " They are made by Burnabee Farms. Carol F.
