If you're eating egg-white omelets made with egg substitutes, you might want to think twice about ditching whole eggs with the yolks. Unlike the real stuff, egg beaters contain artificial ingredients such as “color” and maltodextrin, a sweetener also used in candy. Plus, the yolks hold about 40 percent of an egg's protein as well as lutein, which keeps eyes healthy. They're also one of the main sources of choline, a nutrient that boosts memory, keeps fat from building up in your liver, and makes up your cell membranes.
Healthier swap: When I am pressed for time - I always have hard boiled eggs on hand. Sometimes I have a hard boiled egg, wedge of light laughing cow cheese on a whole wheat sandwich thin!
