Default egg whites?!

hi guys
im going into my first day of maintenance tomorrow!! i havent yet done my last entry in my refeed diary, so i wont start a maintenance diary yet.. but i have a question re egg whites...

im planning on making an egg white omelette as my first non-program breaky.. how many egg whites can i use? i heard that 3 egg whites = 1 serve.. so could i do 1 egg + 3 whites? if i want a larger omelette, with no carbs or starches??

hmm im not sure..

any info would be splendid..

thanks all, look forward to sharing my maintenance journey with u!

I was using 4 whites, I enjoyed it much more than with the whole egg.
Had them with silverbeet, shaved ham, mozza cheese, tomato, capsicum & onion- or a mix of either or.
I whipped them up with a Bamix & they come out very light and fluffy, then put the omelet under the grill to brown it.

You can also make egg white "wraps".
2 egg whites in a fry pan, flip or put under grill, cool and use like normal wraps.
You can also use them as a pizza base.
Think I have them in the "maintenance recipe's" section
