What do you guys think about using Egg-Beaters in place of real eggs. The reason I am interested in this instead of real eggs is purely for convenience.
Thanks
i think they taste like crap, texture just aint right to me. but thats personal opinion. on nutrients and what not, im sure they are just as good…arn’t they “99% real eggs” what ever that means.

I like plain egg whites over Egg Beaters. You can buy them in a carton right beside the Egg Beaters. Plain whites tastes better than Beaters. I think the brand is ‘All Whites’ though I’ve seen ads in magazines of another brand where you can buy a half-gallon of whites at a time.
There was a recent thread here on the forums discussing egg whites vs. egg beaters. You may want to check it out.
I don’t really like Egg-beaters, but you said it was more for convenience not taste. So may I suggest you look into Egg Whites International. They have real egg whites in these gallon tubs, that have an easy push pump. Hopefully, that helps you out.Just do a google search for the company.

I’m not much of an egg fan, no matter how I make them or what recipe I use I just don’t like them much, I get really sick of eating them after a couple. I can eat a lot of food but there is no way I can eat 10-15 egg at one meal like a lot of people do. So I decided to try Egg Beaters, just my opinion, but they are nasty, worse than real eggs. After all my rambling my question is about using them raw. I know people who put them in protein drinks, I tried it once and you can’t taste them, and since they’re pasteurized they’re safe. But I’ve heard that raw eggs, including raw Egg Beaters can deplete vitamins and minerals, especially the B vitamins. It would be an easy way to get extra protein in your drinks, that is if it doesn’t screw up the vitamins and minerals. Does anyone know anything about this?
Go with 100% Egg Whites, in my opinion. You can’t wrong with them. If you ever have doubt, just look at the ingredients in Egg Beaters. If you are big egg-eater, it’s better to stick with Egg Whites.
I also throw in one whole egg along with 6-7 egg whites. This way, it tastes better and it’s not all egg whites either.

JB has said that the egg whites in the carton (im assuming this includes egg beaters)are fine and much easier than using real eggs. So i guess if you don’t mind the taste they should be fine.
Eat real eggs, they are just as convenient as egg beaters when you think about it. They are also loaded with vitamis and other nutrients not found in “egg beaters.” Natural is usually better.
Unless you are eating more than two or three eggs per day, eat the entire egg and enjoy!
