"Egg-cellent" nutrition







I have been eating new recipes and new ideas for breakfast. Eggs being one of them. I use to eat cold cereal almost everyday and not particularly the best kind. Most cereal has a lot of sugar even cereals you wouldn't expect. They recommend eating a cold cereal with less than 5 grams of sugar per serving. Look on your label, you'll be surprised to see the sugar content, even cereals like Raisin Bran have a lot of sugar. Anyway, my new love has been in Eggs. I really enjoy this breakfast...

2 Egg whites
TBSP of skim milk to fluff them up a bit :)
salt and pepper
Put on an open face piece of wheat bread and top with slices of tomato and homemade salsa. It is delicious and is extremely good for you.
Calories-100
Fat-.5 (from the bread)
Protein-8 grams
Carb-- 0 grams
Lycopene- Daily dose from tomatoes

Eggs in general are very good for you. The egg yolk contains all the cholesterol and fat while the egg white contains the protein and no fat. Eating one egg yolk a day won't hurt you if you don't like egg whites but when losing weight and cutting calories egg whites are a great alternative. Try it if you love eggs such as I or just need some new breakfast ideas.
