One of 15 Foods Excellent for Kidney Health: Egg Whites

• boiled, mashed with a bit of mayo for egg sandwiches
• fried, slice of cheese and bacon or ham on an english muffin sandwich
• scrambled with peppers, mushrooms and cheese or combos of this
• as a mushroom and cheese omelet
• mixed with cheese and veggies and cooked between two flour tortillas (egg quesadilla)

Obviously if it is better to use the whites or more whites than yokes so as to improve the health benefits I will receive from them I can remove the yolks more often and make recipes using only the egg whites.

I LIKE eggs but I find that I get sick of them when I eat too much so perhaps removing the yolk, which seems to be the rich part of the egg and making recipes with ONLY the whites will make some difference in that!

I don't like a lot of meat anymore either because I find it makes me feel heavy so I often DO get my protein FROM eggs!

To improve my choices I would say MORE veggies, LESS cheese and take out the yolks!

I'm going to give this a try and I wish you luck with it also!
