Best (tiny) breakfast ever
Aug. 20th, 2012 07:14 amHungry Girl really does have some of the best food/diet ideas around.
For, well, ever my breakfast hasn't come even close to keeping me full until lunchtime. I'm generally lacking in protein, so that's not surprising. This morning I made Hungry Girl's egg scrambles in a mug and it was amazing.
One mug, sprayed with some nonstick cooking spray (butter flavored Pam is the only one I have).
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
One wedge Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese, cut into pieces
Some bacon bits
Salt and pepper (she didn't list this, but I added it on my own)
Put everything in the mug, microwave for a minute to a minute and a half, stirring in the middle.
SO GOOD. The cheese makes it creamy and rich, the bacon makes it salty. All for about 100 calories! The only downside is that this made about five forkfulls of food. Not exactly what I would call a meal. I think doubling the egg but keeping everything else the same would work (as-is, it was seriously cheesy, more so than almost any other flavor).
Edit: I realize I used half the amount of egg that I should have (I think). A half cup of egg substitute is two eggs, which is one container of the substitute. I used a half of the container. Tomorrow: A full container!
