Fitness potato omelette

Do you want to eat a good potato omelette but without the huge amounts of fat that it usually carries?

In this article we are going to explain how to make a potato omelette with a minimum amount of fat. This food will be a very good option to include it in any of the meals of the day, since it provides complex carbohydrates that will provide us with energy in a sustained way.

This recipe contains protein of great biological value, since its main source is the egg. On the other hand, thanks to the potato that is rich in complex carbohydrates , we will be able to have a more sustained release of energy.

Calories and distribution of macronutrients

The complete potato omelette contains 432kcal . We could divide this meal into 2 servings of 216kcal . However, since it is a very low calorie dense food, there will be no problem if we want to eat it in a single serving.

Macronutrient distribution:

  • Protein : 34.12 g
  • Carbohydrates : 48.65 g. These carbohydrates are complex and of great biological value. Without a doubt one of the best sources of carbohydrates that we can include.
  • Fat : 10.39 g. The main fats in this cake are provided by eggs. In the next article we can see the benefits of eating the yolk of the egg.

Ingredients

  • 300 grams of potato
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml of egg whites
  • 1/2 onion

Preparation

We cut the potatoes and the onion

Firstly, we will start by peeling the potato and cutting it into small pieces (it does not matter if they are irregular).

On the other hand, we will also cut the onion (particularly, I like to cut it as small as possible).

We prepare and microwave

Once we have the ingredients already cut, we put plastic wrap on a plate and place the potato and onion on top.

Once this is done, cover the ingredients well with the plastic wrap and put the dish in the microwave (4min).

We beat the eggs and the whites

While the potato and onion are being cooked in the microwave, we will beat the 2 eggs together with the 150ml of egg whites.

In the pan!

Once the potato is ready, we put all the ingredients in a pan (I recommend one not too big so that the egg covers all the potatoes well). We will add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

It is important to put it on medium heat (at 5) and let it set slowly.

To turn it around, I recommend using a plate to help us.

Once we turn it around and it curdles a little on the other side, we will have our fitness omelette ready!
