Just like my Keto Chicken Cobb Salad and Stuffed Zucchini Boats, these weight loss omelettes are a fun and easy way to pack some extra veggies into your diet. You have three recipes to choose from here:
- Pepper and spinach omelette
- Mushroom and asparagus omelette
- Asparagus and pepper egg white omelette
While these are my favorite combinations, you can customize each of these two egg omelettes any way you like. Throw in more vegetables, leafy greens, protein, or swap the whole eggs for egg whites. The possibilities are endless!
Did you know that it’s perfectly acceptable to eat an omelette at any point during the day? It’s a low-maintenance meal you can throw together in less than 15 minutes, plus they’re nutritionally dense and packed with protein. It’s pretty much the perfect meal for weight loss.
Is a two egg omelette healthy?
Yes! Eggs are a complete protein, meaning they contain a perfect ratio of every amino acid your body needs.
Eggs in moderation are also a great way to add protein to your diet without adding too many calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol. These 2 egg omelettes have approximately 180 calories each, making them an extremely healthy, yet filling meal.
Ingredient notes
While each of these healthy omelette recipes contains different varieties of vegetables, each one is made with a few basics:
- Eggs - These vegetarian omelettes are made with two eggs each. Feel free to use the whole eggs or just the egg whites. Using only the whites will cut down on fat and calories while still packing in a ton of protein.
- Onion - Sauteed onion is used in the pepper and spinach omelette but can add extra savoriness to all three recipes.
- Vegetables - Try to use fresh, seasonal produce. These omelettes are made with asparagus, red bell pepper, and baby bella mushrooms but feel free to add more if you like.
- Leafy greens - I used spinach but kale or arugula would work just as well.
- Butter - For cooking the omelettes. Olive oil also works and contains fewer calories.
How to make a weight loss omelette
All three of these healthy omelette recipes can be made the same way. In just 4 simple steps, you’ll have a piping hot, hearty, and healthy meal:
Step 1: Melt some butter in two separate skillets.
Step 2: Saute your veggies of choice (except the spinach) in one of the skillets until slightly soft and tender. Add the spinach and continue cooking until it wilts.
Step 3: Add your egg of choice (scrambled or whites) to the second pan. Cook until the edges of the eggs begin to detach from the pan. Flip it over with a spatula.
Step 4: Spread the cooked veggies over half of the surface of the flipped eggs. Fold the other half over the veggies. Take the pan off the heat, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy!
The best low calorie omelette fillings
There are plenty of ways to get creative when you’re filling an omelette. Stay on theme with more veggies or pack in the extra protein. Use any of these low calorie omelette filling ideas for inspiration:
- More vegetables - Broccoli, broccolini, alfalfa sprouts, or zucchini.
- Lean meat - Throw in leftover roasted chicken, sliced deli turkey, steak and lobster.
- Leafy greens - Substitute the spinach for kale, microgreens, swiss chard, or collard greens.

Weight Loss Egg Omelette 3 Ways
Ingredients
Pepper & Spinach Egg Omelette
- 2 eggs scrambled
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 tablespoon onion thinly chopped
- 2 tablespoon red bell pepper chopped small
- ½ cup fresh spinach
- salt and pepper, to taste
Mushroom & Asparagus Egg Omelette
- 2 eggs scrambled
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 baby Bella mushrooms thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon asparagus chopped
- ½ cup fresh spinach
- salt and pepper to taste
Asparagus & Pepper Egg White Omelette
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 tablespoon onion thinly chopped
- 2 tablespoon asparagus chopped
- 2 tablespoon red bell pepper chopped small
Instructions
- Grab two 8'' skillets and place them side by side on the stove. Add about ½ teaspoon butter to each warm skillet.
- Add the veggies to one skillet and cook on medium high. Hold on to the spinach to add at the very last minute. The veggies will cook in about 5 minutes while the spinach only needs about 1 minute. Since they don't need much attention beside stirring once or twice you can work on the egg simultaneously.
- Add egg scrambled to the second skillet. Cook on medium low until you see the sides detaching from the pan. This very thin layer of egg will cook in just a minute. Use a spatula or two to carefully flip the egg.
- Once you flip the egg, add the cooked veggies to half of the egg, then fold over the other half of the egg omelette. Transfer to a plate
- Season with salt and pepper and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
- if you substitute the spinach for kale or another type of rough greens you can cook at the same time as the veggies (5 minutes)
