I don't have a coach so this is just based on my observations, but after having checked the nutritional values for Eggbeaters
http://www.eggbeaters.com/nutrition-...upc=7027200216 I think it would be ok occasionally, as long as you used 3.5 - 4 servings/omelette. This would bring you into the req'd amount of protein to equal what is in an IP omelette packet.
According to this nutritional info, with 4 servings you'd end up with: Cals 100; Fat 0; Sodium 360mg'; Carbs (1 serving is 'less than 1g' so it would be low); Protein 20g.
There are also alternative omelette products available through
http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store...ese-7-box.html that some of the folks here use, and they are more inexpensive than IP. I was just looking at their website, and I see that Healthsmart sells a box of 7 omelette packets for $16.00, and it's currently on special for $11.50. If you go this route, you might want to check into the threads here that talk about alternative products for more specific recommendations.
