How many Carbs do you eat a day?

After going through a massive personal rebellion with my carb restriction, and pinning it down to the "summer foods" the family likes to eat, I finally had someone give me a wonderful recipe for a quick, low carb/ high protein bread.

1 tbs butter
1 whole egg
1 scoop of protein powder (for more of a desert/breakfast flavor unless you can find a good, non flavored powder)
1 tsp baking soda (if you want - it helps it rise a bit more)

Melt the butter in a DISH - like one of the glass storage bowls (I like to use the 2 - 3 cup size range)
stir in the other ingredients
nuke on high for about a minute or until it rises.

For my actual "breads" I've taken to replacing the scoop of protein powder with about a half cup of ground flax seed. (Almond flour will serve as well, it's just so expensive here! The ground flax seed I find at Walmart in the cereal isle near the health nut granola type cereals.) It comes out a LOT heavier and denser because the flax doesn't absorb the egg and butter as well, but it makes a wonderful bread. Once you pop it out of the dish, and give it a couple of minutes to cool, just slice in half for 2 round pieces of "bread".

These two things have really helped me get my carb rebellion knocked down, and things back under control.

When I make this "bread" I use a glass bread pan to microwave it in. Once it is done you can just cut the piece in half and you get really two average size pieces of "bread". Works great.
