low cal breakfast?

Here's my 6-day-a week breakfast. Gets in most of my day's Vitamin A, and kicks me off with a good heaping helping of protein:

Start by tossing a couple handfuls of spinach into a hot skillet. (Lots and lots of spinach . . . I like to fill the 12 inch skillet because it cooks down so much, and there are almost NO calories in spinach) Once the spinach has wilted and cooked down, put 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg in there and scramble it all together. Yummy! If you want less calories or cholesterol, go with 3 egg whites and no whole eggs . . . the calories and cholesterol are all in the yolk. The protein is all in the white. I don't like the taste of JUST egg white, though, and I find this three to one ratio is still very flavorful.

And, before anyone jumps in . . . yes, I know there are people who say to eat the whole egg, and not just the white. Nonsense. That's like telling someone that you should eat the whole peanut, and not just the inside. Want the protein? Eat the white. Want the calories and cholesterol (and the flavor)? Eat the yolk.

I make easy baked crustless quiche/frittatas so I can heat and eat all week like this bacon/cabbage frittata for 144 calories per 1/4.

For a quick breakfast I like a toasted Thomas Thin, everything bagel with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter spread on it. And with that, I have .5 cup of LF milk (Lactaid) and .5 of a pink grapefruit. Takes about 5 minutes to prepare and gives you 325 cals, 16 gms protein and 7 gms fiber. And it keeps me full till lunch.

Like Dave, I also love spinach and eggs. I sometimes make an omelet with spinach, onion and a tablespoon of shredded cheese for the filling. Its really good and filling too.
