Hi all...now here's something I can't seem to figure out despite lengthy searching on the web. :o Eggs are supposed to have about .6 grams carbs per. So I usually just round my eggs out to one.
BUT here's something I love to eat (and I don't do it to reduce fat...I do it because it tastes like the eggs my grandma used to make and I just, well, love the taste!). I take one whole raw egg and then two egg whites, or sometimes three egg whites, no milk at all, a pinch of salt, some pepper and put it into a very hot pan to make a very, very thin omelette. (The pan either has butter in it, or the leavings from sausages or bacon if I've had those, but I drain the leavings so that there is only a "veneer" in the pan). It cooks in about 2 seconds, I swear. I lift the edges, drop it over onto its other side, turn off the heat & let it sit for a minute or two, and, voila...it's cooked.
So I don't know how to count the whole egg plus the whites. When I've looked up whites & yolks individually, they each generally come out to just over half of a carb, yet one WHOLE egg comes out to just over half a carb. (scratching head) I mean, okay, I was always bad at math, but...ummmmmmm...even I know that .6 plus .6 CAN'T equal .7.
Anybody have any ideas? TIA for any help!
