Default Egg substitute - phase 1?

I see the egg substitute I bought contains potato starch? Surely that is not allowed in Phase 1?

I don't have it with me, but some organic egg substitute.

I decided to use eggs instead.

When I make scrambled eggs, I use more whites than yolks. I just throw away a few of the yolks. It seems really wasteful at first, but egg substitutes are just egg whites with colorings and other additives and they're alot more expensive ounce for ounce than throwing away the yolks.

I started doing this when I was on a low fat diet. I never did use just whites, because I didn't like the taste or texture, but I'd use as many as three whites to every whole egg in scrambled eggs and omeletes. I'm not as worried about fat, but since it does cut the calories, and I like the taste and texture, I still do it so I can get a bigger omelet for the calories.

That is very interesting. I was wondering how to log it, but I see fitday does have a egg white only option.
