Sautee the onions until they are mostly clear, but not quite carmelized.
Mix Tuna, onions, carrots, garlic, cheese, spices, salt and pepper together.
Taste as adjust spiced as necessary.
Add Egg Whites and mix well.
Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten into cakes, approximately 2.5 inches across.
Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Less may be needed if you are using a non-stick skillet.
Once oil is well heated, place patties in skillet on low to medium heat.
Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes aside, turning once. Be wary of the first turn as the eggs will not be completely cooked, so they won't bind the patties together.
When finished, patties should be cooked through (for the egg) and fairly firm.

Suggestion: Serve over a mixed greens salad with vineagrette dressing, or on low calorie, whole grain bread with reduced fat mayonaisse, relish, lettuce & tomato.
