Nutr. info for egg bites?
Do you use an online tracking tool? Mine has a recipe calculator - you input all the ingredients and the number of servings and it calculates the nutritional info. I use myfitnesspal.com but I know there are many places to do these calculations. What kind of eggbite did you make?
I've made a few kinds - I love them. I've also served them as appetizers when having company over; everyone loved them and I can enjoy one or two guilt free! lol

Well, I'm totally frustrated trying to use my fitness pal. I went to the tools aqnd then to the calculate calories part. I put in the 3 of servings and the name, but there is nowhere to put the actual frigging ingredients. It says "add ingredients". When I click on that I get another screen that tries to match the ingredients to other recipes! I'm not finding it user friendly and it would be nice if Eggface would just give is the values of the food she suggests. How can we know it's right for us?
I'm sure you are right Tracey, but I still try and track my protein daily and can't if it's not posted. I used a different app and sorta figured it out. But you can't get a lot of the ingredients right. It wouldn't accept 'green onion'! So basically 2.4 g of fat and 2 g of protein per bite is what I got.
Just in case you wanted to do your own:
1/2 yellow onion
3 green onions
6 mushrooms
1 tsp butter
1/4 lb ham slices (approx 7)
5 eggs
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano
5 eggs
1 cup light Kraft Italiano blend shredded cheese
makes: 24 (mini muffin size)

I just did it in sparkpeople and green onions are not listed there either. I have no idea which ham you used so I selected the 5% fat one as it was the lowest then I picked large eggs since you didn't specify and there was no light italiano so I used light cheddar and here is what I got.
37.4 calories
.6 carbs
2 fat
4.2 protein
I'm sure the reason Shelly doesn't post NUT facts is because we will never be able to find the exact same ingredients she uses so we have to check for ourselves.

Green onions are 5 calories each and about 1.2 grams of carb each so 3 of them spread over 24 is nothing. LOL
I've used this recipe analyzer before as well and it works most of the time.

You can't go wrong with crustless quiche. Tracey's numbers are exactly what I got on fitday when I did it about a year ago, assuming you're eating the mini sized ones. It's almost pure protein with a little veg - how could that be bad? Also, she's a WLS patient - her recipes are top notch, values or not.
