What can I put on my Nutrisystem waffles? ›

Let's be honest: Waffles may be delicious, but they aren't exactly good for you. They're usually made with ingredients that nutritionists say to limit, such as white flour, butter, and lots of sugar. A Belgian waffle from IHOP, for example, has 590 calories, 29 grams of fat, and 17 grams of sugars.

All you need to make our crispy waffles are ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, milk, and eggs. Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another, then add the wet to the dry and mix together—that's it!

If you're on the Nutrisystem program, eggs are a great base for a flex breakfast. (Get our favorite flex breakfast recipes here >). But even if you're not flexing, eggs are a great addition to your Nutrisystem morning meals. Scramble one up and add it to your Nutrisystem Honey Wheat Bagel.

Pancakes or waffles

Despite their tasty profile, these comfort foods are often made with refined white flour and topped with butter and syrup, which is essentially pure sugar. This means that pancakes and waffles are high in calories, fat, and sugar, yet lacking in protein and fiber.

Of course, butter and maple syrup are a must have on a waffle board. Some of our other favorite toppings are fresh fruit, peanut butter, Nutella, honey, pecans, chocolate chips and whipped cream.

The short answer is no. There is no definitive proof that the nutrients added to foods like Eggo waffles are actually absorbed into your body. What you're eating is some enriched dough with sugar and milk and some chemicals thrown in that may or may not be ok for you.

Can we eat waffles everyday? ›

By themselves, no. But add lots of butter and lots of syrup and maybe bacon, definitely unhealthy, if eaten daily. Or on a regular basis. But if you eat waffles, ect, occasionally and reduce how much butter and syrup you add, no need to be concerned.

So while a basic waffle might have more protein, a pancake has better macros and has 20 percent fewer calories than a waffle. Waffles also tend to have more refined sugar in them than pancakes. Amy Goodson, who worked for the Dallas Cowboys, said that “pancakes are easier to turn healthy”.

When the batter is made from scratch it can be formulated to taste however the chef likes. You can't really do much with Bisquick. Restaurants also have a slew of toppings that you can have piled onto your waffle. You can prepare the same toppings at home but most people don't bother.

Typically, for one batch of waffles, you'll need 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of classic pancake mix. A couple of large brown eggs will also help your waffles have the perfect fluffy interior. Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, too, for flavoring. Now you can add in the extra fat that your waffles are craving.
