Large egg whites	3
Salt	A pinch

Ketchup	3 tablespoons

Instructions

Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a loaf pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Mix the Meatloaf Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, shredded whole wheat bread, chopped onion, egg whites, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Make the Sauce
In a separate small bowl, whisk together ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Combine & Shape
Pour the sauce mixture into the bowl with the meat mixture. Using clean hands, mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan.
Bake the Meatloaf
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until the loaf is cooked through and firm in the center.
Cool Slightly & Serve
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking. Slice into 5 portions and serve warm.
