Why egg whites in S Baking? Dec 26, 2012 20:30:29 GMT -5

I got my THM book last week and am really enjoying digging in!!

I am up to the dessert chapter right now, which I am loving, of course, and I am noticing that a number of the S recipes for desserts call for egg whites. I can understand when it is a matter of egg whites needing to be whipped up, but is it necessary to use egg whites only the rest of the time?

I'd love to not waste yolks if possible. (I'm working on myself about the carton egg whites, but I'm not quite there yet.)

Some of the S recipes call for egg whites simply to make them a little less rich or lower in calories. While calories and fat are not bad, you don't want to overdo them. Using egg whites is a good way to do that sometimes.
Using 100% egg whites is very convenient for these recipes. Or you can also save the egg yolks and add them to scrambled eggs for the family, or to S smoothies. That way you don't have to waste any of the amazing fats and health in the yolks.
I suppose you could use whole eggs in place of whites in the S recipes, but the whites help to keep them a little lighter.

Sorry. That recipe does call for whole eggs.

msjongg: Just wondering... Are rice noodles on plan? Nov 15, 2016 15:37:21 GMT -5

queen: Probably a good idea to start a topic asking about it. Generally, I think they want you to use the whole grains rather than something made from brown rice flour, but maybe there's more to know about it. Nov 17, 2016 0:11:45 GMT -5

queen: Got a notice that the THM website is having a big cyber-Monday sale and are offering a couple new items. They have also introduced flat rate shipping. Time to stock up on that Gentle Sweet.

marmee: Sorry to be such an... Older woman but I'm not abl to figure out how to use the forum. I have been able to read a few posts. Apr 4, 2017 6:40:01 GMT -5

marmee: One question: if I have early morning coffee with coconut oil ( or if I choose cream) are they considered a snack, should I wait 3 hours before eating? If I eat an S meal soon there after am I ok? Would that be a problem if I eat an E meal soon after? Apr 4, 2017 6:41:55 GMT -5

queen: You can post here if you like. But you can start a post by entering a forum (any of the linked titles above this shouting box). Once you are in the forum, you should see a "Create Thread" link in the title bar. Click that to get a posting screen. Apr 5, 2017 16:30:19 GMT -5

queen: If you eat an S meal within an hour of your oil/cream coffee, it is all considered the same meal. Otherwise, you need to wait the 3 hours. Apr 5, 2017 16:31:29 GMT -5

queen: If you are in weight loss mode, you avoid them. Maybe throw in one or two a month if you aren't losing well. It can help to shake things up and get losses started again. Feb 17, 2020 11:06:32 GMT -5
