I want to increase the physical volume of my scrambled eggs without increasing the calories. Can I just add water to the eggs and mix well before cooking?

...no
I suggest buying some egg beaters and replacing 1 egg with them. For example, you want 3 eggs? Use 1/4 cup of egg beaters instead.

You can also separate the whites and yolks, whip the whites, then mix the yolks in. It will increase the volume, but I don't know if the texture will be bad.

The other main source of calories in scrambled eggs is the fat you cook them in. You can try eating boiled eggs instead. I guess you can also cook them without any butter/oil if you use a *new* nonstick pan but it might taste dried out and shitty.

Whoops, I mean you would use 2 eggs and 1/4 egg beaters instead of 3 eggs.
>>
just whip as much air into it as possible

Cook them low and slow and whisk the shit of them. Ever make your own whip cream? Do it like that.
>>
>>9346342
separate the whites and yolks, mix up the yolks, beat the whites with a whisk until they create foam, fold the yolks into the whites

that's about the best you can do
>>
You know that by increaseing the volume without additional calories all you are doing is adding more air right? Your eggs will not be any more filling so there is really no point.
>>
I would think it should work but beyond some ratio your eggs are going to be more like a pudding or a custard.

>>9346959
If that were true, you could eat an indefinite amount of sugar-free Jello.
>>

> Can I just add water to the eggs and mix well before cooking?

Holy autism
>>
>>9346996
jello: volume == mass
airy eggs: volume > mass

adding air doesn't make anything more filling. jello is low calorie via another mechanism so it's not a good comparison
>>
>>9346342
add vegetables
>>
>>9347009
But you brought up airy eggs. OP wants to add water.

We're only talking about additional calories here. It's a reasonable comparison.
>>
I always add a splash of water when I'm making an omelette.

It makes them easier to whisk thoroughly.
>>
>>9346342
add agar or gelatin to the eggs as well as water
>>
>>9346342
add a bit of milk, i do it too
>>
>>9347054
Would gelatin really work? Doesn't it take hours to set, meaning you'd have to eat them cold
>>
>>9347054
>>9347119
no it's bullshit

just eat less of other stuff you fucking fatty

i don't see the problem if you're watching your calories anyway, stop being such a fucking bitch
>>
>>9347119
Kinda gross, but if you want thick eggs.

>>9346342
use the shells. break them up small enough and you won't even notice them but you will notice the extra calcium and iron.
>>
Y not add cotton balls ?
>>
>>9346370
that's not how science works
>>
>>9346959
>>9347009
you're an idiot. by your own restricted logic, he could still be adding jello to his eggs and you can't even see that.
>>
>>9346342
Add extra egg whites.
>>
>>9347007
OP is an autist for wanting to watch his consumption?

Don't listen to the idiots OP but unfortunately I don't think watery eggs will taste as good
>>
>>9346342
If you can mix air in them, aka creating some kind of foam, the volume increases, but the calories stay the same.
But since a egg has only like 65 kcal it is kind of pointless.
It is much more effective to cut kcal at other points.

Yellow dish sponge. Chop it up and put into mixing bowl, add 2 to 3 eggs per sponge and beat thoroughly. I've tried it before and it doesn't even taste bad as long as you use a new sponge that isn't soapy. You will increase total volume by about 70%
>>
>>9346342
Always add two tablespoons of milk for each egg. Improves taste and gives it more volume.
>>
>>9346342
add water, xanthan gum, leicitin and whip into an airy foam

use more egg white and salt
>>
Have a side of oatmeal and get on with your fucking day
>>
>>9347444
Trips of truth. Oatmeal is the most filling breakfast food out there.
>>
>>9347390

Holy shit... just tried it thinking that you were just pulling my leg.

Ended up being absolutely delicious.

Thanks for the suggestion!
>>
>>9347395
Water is better, steam voluminously increases yield. Milk just makes the eggs heavy.
>>
>>9347444
What if you put the oatmeal in the eggs.

Add a equal parts water AND milk and then run them through a magic bullet until frothy immediately before pouring them into the pan.
It's the shit, honestly almost makes owning one of those things worth it. I also throw cheese in there and it's GOAT.
>>
>>9347564
Oh and sometimes sour cream if you don't mind the taste. Definitely adds a richer texture.
>>
>>9347556
That causes mustard gas

>>9346342
Do what IHOP does - use a little less egg, pour a little pancake batter into it. Whip in lots of air.
>>
>>9347755
How is this legal
>>
