Regarding Egg Whites
 

When 2 egg whites are used during phase 1 do they count as the protein for the day or are egg whites a freebie of some sort? I only ask because Ive been seeing so many people talking about egg whites or using them in a recipe.

That's a great question...I've been wondering the very same thing!!! ;)

Many IPeeps & coaches consider 2 egg whites a freebie. They do not count as the real protein meal for the day.

My coach says the same...I seldom need it, but sometimes if Im gonna have a big day I will add to the omelet to bulk it up a bit. Also in the crispy cereal pancakes.

But only once a day of course...

My coach actually recommended having them everyday. she said they are an excellent way of uping the protein with no fat or carbs. she concidered them freebies.

Yes, my coach allows 2/day MAX as a freebie. They add ~35 calories from ~8g protein - 0 carb/0 fat/0 sugar, which is allowable according to the 0/0/0 rule on the Phase 1 sheet.
