Low Calorie Omelette Ingredients

There are two different omelets below. One is meaty and one is vegetarian. So pick the one that best suits your dietary needs (or budget) and enjoy.

You can get creative with the cheese, I’ve given you several options to try. Cheddar is my “go to” as I always have it in the house. But feta is so sharp and delicious as is goat cheese. Just choose your favorite or what you already have on hand.

You can cut more calories by using 3 egg whites in place of the 2 eggs, but I find this minor "splurge" in ingredients makes a far superior tasting omelet recipe.
