Diet Ratings
A cheese omelette made from 2-3 eggs with cheese contains 1-2g net carbs and high fat from eggs and cheese. Excellent keto option when made without added carbs.
Cheese omelettes contain both eggs and cheese, both animal products. Completely incompatible with vegan diet.
While eggs are paleo-approved, cheese is a dairy product excluded from strict paleo diet. Dairy was not available to Paleolithic humans.
Cheese omelettes contain whole eggs (encouraged) but add dairy fat and sodium. Acceptable occasionally but not ideal as a regular staple due to saturated fat content. Portion and cheese quantity are important.
Eggs and cheese are both animal-derived. Approved across carnivore diet. Cheese adds fat and additional nutrients. Plain preparation without plant seasonings is ideal.
Contains dairy (cheese), which is explicitly excluded from Whole30. The egg base is compliant, but cheese disqualifies the dish.
Omelettes with cheese depend on cheese type and quantity. Hard cheeses (cheddar, parmesan) are low-FODMAP in small amounts, but soft cheeses (ricotta, mascarpone) are high-lactose. Monash testing shows cheese is dose-dependent; standard omelette portions may exceed safe lactose limits.
iMonash University rates most cheeses as high-FODMAP due to lactose content. However, aged hard cheeses with minimal lactose (cheddar, parmesan) in small portions (≤40g) may be tolerated. Soft cheeses should be avoided.
Cheese adds significant saturated fat (~6-8g per ounce) and sodium (~150-200mg per ounce). While eggs are DASH-approved, cheese topping increases saturated fat and sodium substantially. Acceptable with modest cheese amount (0.5 oz) and vegetable fillings, but less ideal than plain eggs or vegetable-only omelettes.
Excellent protein base, but cheese adds saturated fat and sodium. Macro balance depends on cheese quantity and cooking fat. Vegetable-filled cheese omelette with olive oil is favorable; cheese-heavy versions less so.
Eggs provide anti-inflammatory benefits, but cheese adds saturated fat. Cooking fat type (butter vs. olive oil) and cheese quantity significantly impact profile.
iDr. Weil suggests moderate cheese acceptable; AIP protocol restricts dairy. Olive oil-cooked versions with modest cheese are more favorable than butter-cooked with excess cheese.
Good protein (6-8g per egg) but cheese adds saturated fat (4-5g per ounce). Fat content may cause nausea or reflux. Tolerable in small portions for some patients; problematic for others. Egg white omelettes preferred.
iSome GLP-1 specialists accept cheese omelettes in moderation if patient tolerates fat well; others recommend egg white omelettes exclusively to minimize fat-related side effects.
