What can be prepared from egg whites: recipes for sweet and savory dishes

Publication in the group: Healthy eating (HE)

High protein meals can be used for weight loss; the effectiveness of their recipes depends on careful selection of ingredients. The protein diet is one of the most effective diets, but its effect is due to strict adherence to the rules. Despite the speed of weight loss with a diet limited to protein-based meals, this method of losing weight has its drawbacks and side effects that can worsen health.

Before switching to a protein diet that requires physical activity, it is recommended to consult with a nutritionist and therapist. Losing weight through fasting or eating exclusively raw foods occurs due to a decrease in muscle mass. Losing total body weight does not contribute to getting into good shape due to the remaining fat and the body’s gradual consumption of the muscles that form the body contour.

Ridding the body of excess weight with the help of a protein diet does not imply starvation and preserves muscle fibers thanks to the amino acids contained in protein foods. Dishes with a protein base have a long processing period, providing a prolonged feeling of fullness and reducing interest in food.

The effect of a protein diet is to accelerate the process of fat breakdown by eliminating as much of the acceptable amount of carbohydrates as possible from the diet. It is highly not recommended to completely remove carbohydrate-containing foods from the daily menu, since carbohydrates are responsible for preserving energy, providing it to cells and performing a building function. The most popular low-carbohydrate diets are the protein-rich Kremlin diet, the Atkins diet, Dukan diet, and the keto diet aimed at increasing fat intake and reducing protein and carbohydrates.

Culinary secrets

In anticipation of the recipes, we decided to tell you how and for how long you can store egg whites. We also reveal the secrets of how to whip the protein mass into a dense foam.

• It is not necessary to use the whites immediately after they have been separated from the yolks. If you place them in a clean jar, close it tightly, and put them in the refrigerator, they will not spoil within 5 days. This applies to raw proteins. Boiled ones can be stored for only 2-3 days (also in a closed container in the refrigerator).
• The shelf life of raw chicken proteins can be extended up to 6 months. To do this, they should be frozen.
• For many dishes, the whites have to be beaten. It will be easier to do this if both the whites themselves and the dishes are pre-cooled. You are unlikely to be able to whip the whites into a dense foam if yolks, water or fat get into them.
• Sometimes in recipes for protein foods the term “until firm peaks” is used. This means that after the corolla is removed from the protein mass, “peaks” stretched upward remain on it, which do not fall off for a long time.
• If the recipe does not indicate the number of proteins, but their weight, you need to know that this part of a small chicken egg weighs about 30 g, a large one - 45 g (that is, about three-quarters of the weight of the entire egg).

Proteins can be used to make delicious pastries (and not just meringues), cream and soufflé. They are also used to make delicate batter and omelet. Using protein, you can clean the broth, making it clear. So any housewife will find use for this product. The following recipes for sweet and savory dishes, in which egg white is an important ingredient, will help her with this.

Homemade cocktails for weight loss

One of the universal ways to include protein in your diet is cocktails - they can be a complete replacement for your usual meal, since they contain the necessary proportion of protein products. They are convenient to take with you to work in a glass bottle or drink during a break between workouts.

Cinnamon protein shake

Peel the ginger root (2-3 cm thick) and grate it. Add 10 grams of cinnamon powder (for this you can grind a cinnamon stick in a blender), a pinch of cayenne pepper. Pour the ingredients into a glass of low-fat kefir.

Protein shake with dried fruits

The high fiber content allows you to cleanse the body as much as possible, and kefir allows you to get a daily portion of protein for a protein diet. Take 3 pieces of prunes and dried apricots. Pour hot water over them for 20 minutes, then combine with a glass of low-fat kefir and grind everything in a blender.

Flax protein drink

The combination of orange and protein speeds up metabolism, and flax seeds remove waste and toxins faster. Peel the orange, place half of the citrus in a container, add a glass of natural unsweetened yogurt, pour into a blender bowl, and grind.

Protein glaze

What do you need:

• egg white – 2 pcs.;
• powdered sugar – 0.2 kg;

Menu examples for the day

Protein dishes (for weight loss), the recipes of which are not only satisfying, but also quite varied, should be consumed as part of a diet according to the following rules:

1. The protein content of dishes should exceed 30%. The main food is fish, meat, poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy and seafood products. You can also eat some types of mushrooms, for example, champignons contain predominantly protein, and contain carbohydrates and fats in very small quantities.

2. Despite the condition of reducing the amount of carbohydrates in food, you cannot completely remove them from the diet. Basically, limit the consumption of foods with quickly digestible carbohydrates, including figs, bananas, potatoes, grapes and eggplants. The restriction also includes foods with slowly digestible carbohydrates, such as vegetable fats, bread, potatoes, pasta, as well as legumes and cereals that can be eaten for breakfast or lunch to maintain carbohydrates at an acceptable level.
3. Meals are increased up to 4-5 times a day, reducing portions. The last meal should be taken no later than 2 hours before bedtime.
4. In addition to carbohydrates, chocolate and other sweets are excluded from the daily menu. It is necessary to remove from the diet or limit as much as possible the intake of high-fat foods, sugar, flour, mayonnaise, alcoholic beverages, ketchup and unsuitable sauces, canned food and semi-finished products, cream, soda, baked goods and foods containing starch. Vegetables and fruits that suit their characteristics can be eaten in small quantities.
5. To prevent the diet from causing digestive problems, you need to drink at least 2 liters of liquid per day. Instead of sweet drinks, drink vegetable smoothies, unsweetened tea, plain water and natural fruit drinks.
6. It is necessary to calculate the calorie content of food consumed daily. Meat, for example, is a high-calorie food, and too much will interfere with the diet's effectiveness. A weight-loss protein diet only involves replacing carbohydrates with proteins, and not exceeding the daily calorie intake as a result of uncontrolled consumption of protein foods.

Protein diets are divided into types depending on the diet and duration. For example, a carbohydrate-protein diet can be made permanent, and the optimal period of stay on a protein-egg diet is 1 week. Certain foods recommended as part of one type of diet may not be acceptable when losing weight on another type of diet, so they should not be combined. The examples of daily menus given are taken from the charts of some types of protein diets. For best results, it is recommended to choose one most suitable diet and follow only its schedule.

Protein omelet

What do you need:

• egg whites – 4 pcs.;

Steamed protein omelette turns out even more delicious, but it takes a little longer to cook it this way (10-15 minutes).

Structure

Egg white consists of:

• water - 80-85%;
• protein - 12-14%;
• fats and carbohydrates - up to 1%.

Of the components it contains that are most in demand by athletes, it is worth highlighting:

• Ovalbumin is the basis of egg protein, which makes up 54%.
• Ovotransferrin is another type of protein that has antibacterial function.
• Lysozyme is an element that is contained in a minimal amount (3.5%). Used as a bacteriolytic enzyme.
• Ovomucin is a complex multicomponent compound, the volume of which is 3%.

The mentioned components become the main dish of egg whites, so adding the right, varied and healthy “goodies” to the diet is important. So, they are used to make meringues, omelettes, cakes and other products (recipes for some of them will be given below).

Potato soufflé

What do you need:

• egg whites – 4 pcs.;
• fresh herbs - 4 sprigs;

5. Place the potato mixture among the molds, leaving a centimeter from the edges.
6. Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for a quarter of an hour.

As the soufflé cools, it falls off - this is an inevitable process. Therefore, it is advisable to serve the dish hot – as soon as it is ready.

Beneficial features

Protein is processed for use in the formation of new tissue, but it does not contain the amount of energy the body needs, and therefore it is taken from fat cells. At the initial stage, also called “drying,” of a protein-based diet, excess fluid leaves the body. As a result of the resulting stress, the body tries to replenish its fat reserves, but the protein obtained from proteins protects muscle fibers from splitting, which leads to the processing of fat deposits.

Dishes with a high level of protein help speed up metabolism, its intensity increases by 20-35% when digesting protein foods. Protein molecules are enzymes that facilitate these processes. At the same time, the time for processing calories by the body increases by several hours without changes in the speed of the process.

Other positive aspects of consuming protein foods:

• prevention of age-related decrease in the number of muscles and decrease in muscle mass due to illness due to protein supplied with food;
• accelerated wound healing, also extending to postoperative incisions and bedsores;
• significant reduction in the risk of osteoporosis and strengthening bones thanks to animal proteins;
• building muscle by combining diet with exercise, consuming protein and protein shakes is common in many sports;
• normalization of hormonal levels, updated due to the processing of proteins.

What can be prepared from dry egg powder: reviews

Anastasia : I became acquainted with egg powder when I began to get involved in confectionery. An irreplaceable thing! But last summer we finally started traveling a lot with tents in nature, and as it turned out, powdered eggs are indispensable in nature. Powdered eggs are stored in normal street heat, and breakfasts with omelets, a hitch for cutlets, etc. – simply irreplaceable! All my friends are raving about my outdoor cooking capabilities with powdered eggs.

Yana : egg powder helped my husband and I get into shape. Cocktails and smoothies are delicious with it, and there is no fear of contracting salmonella. By the way, in confectionery stores, egg powder is several times cheaper than in sports nutrition stores - I recommend saving money there, because the composition is identical.

1. First, melt the dark chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave.
2. Generously grease silicone muffin cups with melted chocolate. Be sure to take a silicone mold to make the products easier to get. Place the greased pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.
3. Let's make the curd filling. Combine cottage cheese with honey, add a couple of drops of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly with a blender.
4. Fill the mold with chocolate with curd mixture halfway. We place one berry in the center of each product; I have frozen strawberries. Then cover with cottage cheese and gently press down with a spoon. Top with remaining melted chocolate.
5. Return the cheesecakes to the freezer for 20–25 minutes. After this time, remove the products from the mold. We store the finished cheesecakes in the refrigerator.
