my sister and I usually go out for breakfast at a diner on the weekends. When we do this Then I skip lunch. Diner breakfast food can really add the fat and calories. (Food porn: 2 fried eggs, bacon, and 1.5 pancakes with butter and syrup). What would be some good choices?

    omlette made with 1 egg and a couple of egg whites- add veggies, american cheese (it's just so much cheesier than cheddar) if you like and an engish muffin. If you must have a pancake- go for it and forgo the syrup in place of fresh fruit, and just eat one.

    Don't they usually fry the eggs on the griddle in a diner? I don't think there's a huge amount of fat involved in eating those. How many calories are you trying to eat within? I might skip the pancakes and go with toast, and I usually get poached eggs because I like them best.

    Saying all that, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 pieces of toast is about 400 or so calories. (I think, I'm a vegetarian and forget how many calories bacon is.)

    Scrambled eggs, dry wheat toast, and tomato slices instead of hash browns. Peanut butter on the side.

    I used to sub for egg whites and I would get fruit/etc. With an 18 month old we don't get to out too often, so when we do I just eat now...it's one of the only times a month I get to eat food that I didn't have to make while it is still hot...AND at the same time as everyone else!

    Thanks. I would probably like the egg white omelet, but I don't think diners have turkey bacon. I don't think ham is too bad but has lots of sodium. Here is what I think the old breakfast was.... 2 eggs 120, 2 bacon 80, if I only ate one pancake 150 butter add 80 add syrup add 210. Yep, the pancakes have to go!

    if you are just a little hungry, order 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of dry toast, and add some jelly. If you want a little more, perhaps order a side of fruit salad?

    Egg white veggie omelet with bacon or sausage! Nothing wrong with fat. Or you could skip the bacon/sausage and opt for fruit salad.
