    I poach two eggs on top of a thin slice of ham (1 oz) on top of toasted english muffin. Same thing without the sauce. Good protein load.

    there is no local substitution for Eggs Benedict....I'm with Dave. Enjoy the real thing on ocassion, and do the cardio to make up for it. There is no low cal substitute for excellent hollendaise.

    Most egg benedict recipes at any cafe will cost you 600+ calories. It's not unreasonable to find lighter solutions to favorite meals and cut back on unnecessary fat. I agree that you shouldn't deprive yourself from eating out from time to time, but finding lighter solutions is a better route to go and you shouldn't exercise just to eat extra.

    Here is a light hollandaise sauce recipe. Ham, a whole grain English Muffin, eggs, and a little of this sauce & you're good to go!! Best of luck!

    If anyone can point me to a vegetarian canadian bacon substitute, I will love you forever and ever. And ever.

    Eggs benedict was one of my biggest sacrifices in becoming a vegetarian.
