    Yes, they are... they are more expensive however and have less "eggwhites" per carton vs the regular egg whites

    The egg beaters are 99% egg whites, they also have a brand which has 100% egg whites, the macros are almost identical.

    Where i shop the egg beaters are cheaper than the 100% egg whites, and as for eggwhitesint, they are like 3 times the price of either of those.

    do my reasearch? unfortunately i already learned the hard way, i had a gallon sent to me for 32 bucks, and a pump for another $10, one week later, i found out that i could save a ton of money at the store

    egg whites int - 1 Gallon = $32

    egg beaters @ sams club - 1/2 Gallon = $7.48 [7.48x2= $14.96]

    SO SORRY, 2.14 x the price

    again, lets do a little math

    you paid 112 for 4 gallons of egg whites

    i can buy 4 gallons of egg beaters for [$14.96 x 4]= $59.84

    so, you keep paying 112 for your 4 gallons, and ill pay 60 for mine

    Man I just buy 15 dozen eggs at Costco for about $12 bucks. 180 egg whites for pennies compared to what you guys are paying. I then crack open 30 eggs at a time and put the whites in a container.

    Sure is....the price depends on the local suppliers. I've gotten 15 dozen eggs for $9 there before, last time I went it was $18. I've never seen it over $20 yet.

    yeah, sams doesnt have the 15 doz cartons here, but you can buy 5 doz for about 5 bucks..so it would work out to about $15 bucks for the 15 doz.

    BUT, i am cautious about the salmonella thing and dont wanna drink the raw eggs, ill stick to the pasturized stuff for drinking....as for cooking, i use shelled eggs and separate them of course, MUCH cheaper that way

    The SAMS club here in Houston has the 15 dozen carton, but either way, it's still a good deal. I don't drink any eggs raw so I just use pure egg whites for everything. Best recipe I've tried yet is the 2 cups of eggs whites, 1 cup of oats, with cinnamon and sweet and low to taste. YUMMY!

    That sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather just buy the whites.

    Sodium is not really an issue if you drink enough water.. The flavoring doesn't increase the cals by much.

    Calories-Same
    Sodium-30mg more in Egg Beaters
    Carbs-1 More in Egg Beaters
    Protein-1 less in Egg Beaters [although, im willing to be that the '13' figure on the egg whites int product is rounded up due to decimal places, and the egg beaters are the same

    im not gonna stop you from ordering from them, just offering my input, as i have ordered from them as well, and i feel that its a rip off and i cant afford to spend 2 times as much on the product

    and yes, you are correct, they only offer them in 16oz cartons

    at sams club, they come in a box of (4) - 16oz cartons which equals 64 oz (or 1 HALF gallon) for $7.48 as i said


    BUT, as you said, no sense in arguing, you pay 112, i pay 60, and we are both happy!

    I buy them at Sam's Club, too. Great deal! I've looked up other suppliers and nothing beats the price at Sam's.

    they dont sell gallons but you can buy enough 16oz containers to to equal 4 gallons. thats all his point was.


    eggwhite int is severly over priced.

    You guys are great. I love this board. Either way I will prolly go with Egg Beaters because price isn't all that much of a factor for me more interested in getting it easily and closer to home.

    I use Egg beaters myself..

    hey getnjakked - I looked at their website but it doesn't say how it is shipped, since they have to stay cold... I imagine warm egg whites can't stay well at warm temps, even if they are pasturized. How were they shipped to you?

    They come packed in a styrafoam[sp] box, well insulated. Mine were still frozen when they arrived.
