    My favorite healthy breakfast

    I usually take the easy way out and eat some cereal or a protein shake. I am trying to slow down and eat some quality protein. Here is my new breakfast:

    One egg w/ one egg white whipped with a tablespoon of milk and lemon/pepper seasoning.

    A bunch of fresh spinach

    Chopped sundried tomatoes (non oil kind)

    A pinch of fresh parmesean (sp)


    Use spray oil and sautee the spinach and tomatoes. Pour the eggs over top and cook. At the very end, top with a pinch of shredded parm. Amazingly, the meal stays with me until lunch and I feel really good after eating it.


    Anyone else have favorite healthy meals?

    Is pico made with chicken or is it that combination of tomatoes and cilantro?

    I get on kicks and eat the same thing day after day. Right now I'm on a bowl of Strawberry Yogurt Cheerios with splash of skim milk. Sometimes it's oatmeal with brown sugar and butter spray, or a bagel with cream cheese, always have scrambled eggs on Sunday (dh's day to cook), some Saturday's I'll make a heavy breakfast of bacon or sausage, homemade biscuits and gravy.

    I only ever have a piece or two of toast (40 Calorie bread) and a cup of coffee. I've never been a big breakfast eater though.

    I love pop tarts... LOL I also love hard boiled eggs, but seldom ever eat them. (Easter's about the only time) I usually smoosh the yoke on a piece of toast along with melted butter. That's the only way my kids will eat them too.

    I'm pathetic! I'm reading about all these healthy breakfasts and here I sit with an ice cream sandwich in my hand! LOL

    I really like Special K cereal but the healthy part comes out when I sprinkle sugar on it. And I love honeycomb cereal.

    I don't know how low fat that is. Each egg has 5 grams of fat and the TBS of butter is 13grams-so total you have 23grams of fat for 2 eggs.

    I eat breakfast at about 5:15 so I really don't have time to cook anything. I either have a bowl of Cheerios or toast with peanut butter on it and some yogurt. Don't know how healthy either is, but I don't eat lunch until 11:00 and I don't feel like I'm starving at lunch time. It's the after work I'm having the issues with. So Amy, is my breakfast healthy?
