1 piece (medium) of Low-fat omelette (120 g) has 126 calories. That works out to 105 calories per 100 g. It contains 2.6 g of carbs, 13.8 g of protein, 5 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 24 µg of Biotin covers 80% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A low-fat omelette is made by cooking beaten eggs in a pan with only a little oil, then folding them over. The simple egg dish is associated with French cooking, though omelettes have many versions around the world. It can be left plain or filled with vegetables or herbs, and is best when just set and still tender.
It makes an easy breakfast, often served with toast, salad or fresh fruit, and can also be a light lunch. With 11.5 g of protein and 4.2 g of fat per 100 g, it offers a filling, protein-forward option without much added fat. A good non-stick pan helps keep the oil to a minimum; spinach, tomatoes or mushrooms add colour and flavour.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Make a low-fat omelette by whisking the eggs and cooking them in a good nonstick pan with little or no oil. Use medium-low heat and fold the omelette while it is still slightly soft to keep it tender.
Yes, a low-fat omelette can be made without oil in a reliable nonstick pan. Preheat the pan gently, pour in the beaten eggs, and loosen the edges as they set; adding water to the pan can help prevent sticking.
For a fluffy low-fat omelette, beat the eggs until evenly blended, but avoid adding lots of liquid. Cook over low heat and cover the pan briefly so the top sets without drying out the underside.
Vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and peppers work well in a low-fat omelette. Cook watery vegetables first so they do not release liquid into the eggs, and use herbs or black pepper for flavor instead of relying on extra cheese.
Yes, a small splash of milk can make a low-fat omelette softer, but it is optional. Water also loosens the eggs without adding milk fat; too much liquid can make the omelette watery and harder to fold.
A low-fat omelette can fit a weight-loss meal because its protein may help you feel satisfied, while limiting cooking fat keeps the meal lighter. What you serve with it and the rest of your eating pattern still matter.
Use a clean nonstick pan and heat it gently before pouring in the eggs for a low-fat omelette. If it still sticks, wipe the pan with a small amount of oil rather than pouring oil directly into it.
A cooked low-fat omelette keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days in a covered container. Refrigerate it promptly, and reheat it until steaming hot; discard it if it has been left out for more than two hours.
Yes, you can freeze a low-fat omelette, though thawing may make its texture less tender. Cool it promptly, wrap individual portions airtight, thaw them in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly before serving.
A low-fat omelette is cooked as a single sheet and folded around or over its filling, while scrambled eggs are stirred as they cook into soft curds. Both can be made with little oil, but the omelette holds fillings more neatly.
