In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add a spritz of non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat the pan.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 1 minute.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, ensuring that it evenly coats the base. Allow the edges to set slightly, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tipping the pan slightly to allow any uncooked egg white to flow to the edges and cook thoroughly.
Sprinkle the diced tomato over one half of the omelet. Once the bottom is lightly golden and the top is mostly set, fold the omelet over the tomatoes to create a half-moon shape.
Allow to cook for another minute to ensure the inside is completely cooked. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
