Today I want to talk about this Breakfast sandwich I had yesterday.  It’s by far one of my favorite things to eat and one of the easiest as well!

This idea is directly from the Biggest Loser Cookbook, an awesome cookbook by the way, and takes less than 5 minutes to make.  First, you take a basic cereal bowl (make sure it can go into the microwave) and spray it with cooking spray. You then separate two egg whites into the bowl, you can use one or two depending on taste, and the reason for egg whites only is because they are all the protein and none of the cholesterol.  I microwave them for twenty seconds at a time until they are cooked through. During the egg whites cooking, you take your whole-wheat sandwich slim or English muffin and toast it.  Now, if you don’t know what a sandwich slim is they can be found in the bread isle next to the hamburger buns usually and are basically a slim hamburger bun. What’s so great about these slims are they are only 100 calories and really can fill your bread want.  I have a huge love of bread and these really help me keep that in check. (I swear, I could eat an entire loaf of great bread without so much as a blink.) I use these for sandwiches, hamburgers, just about anything! Now, it is important that you get whole-wheat. 100%. This makes sure you’re getting the most nutrients from your bread and it’s really important you make sure there is no high fructose corn syrup in your bread at all. Okay, back to the breakfast sandwich, when the slim or English muffin is toasted, I spray it with a little bit of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray, salt and pepper the eggs, add a slice of cheese, two slices of turkey or turkey bacon and put it all together! For the cheese I use the weight watchers singles because they only have 45 calories and melt deliciously. This breakfast sandwich is under 300 calories, is filled with protein and great with an orange in the morning. It’s very fast to make, and will live up to any kind of fast food breakfast sandwich you can think of. Try it. It’s awesome.

Thank you again for reading, and any comments would be appreciated!! See you tomorrow!
