Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day...not to mention, the most important! Many people skip breakfast in an effort to loose weight or cut calories..DON'T! You've been asleep for the past several hours, and your body needs fuel to start the day. Skipping it leads to your body going into 'starvation' mode and leads to overeating later on. Breakfast also gives you more energy...so eat up!
I always love to try new things for breakfast that are a perfect balance between fat, protein, carbs. Something to keep me satisfied for a few hours and of course taste delicious. While my quick staple breakfast when I'm in a rush out the door in the morning is a light whole wheat english muffin with natural peanut butter, if I have more time I like to whip up a simple and much-lower-cal-than-any-takeout-breakfast-sandwich-out-there, egg and cheese sandwich.
Yum!
What You'll Need:
1/4 cup egg substitute/2 egg whites/1 egg
1 whole wheat english muffin
1 slice of kraft 2% american cheese
1 slice of ham/turkey/turkey peperoni (optional)
Cut english muffin in half and put into toaster. If you are using a microwave, use a microwave bowl or circle tupperware container, spray with nonstick spray, and crack egg or pour egg white/substitute into it. Microwave for 20 seconds, take out to move it around and check on it, microwave again another 20 seconds or until not runny.
Once english muffin is done being toasted, take out of microwave and put cheese on it and meats (if you decided too use meat). Take egg out of microwave and flip it onto english muffin, and donezo!
Easy right?
I'll usually pair my egg sandwich with some fruit and a half a cup of skim milk or juice.
Enjoy you Skinny Minis!
