    I usually have egge whites - either scrambled (with some low-fat cheese) or I make an egg-white omelet. I pair that with some light multigrain toast and it's pretty satisfying.

    May I ask why you eat your eggs without the yolks?:ohwell:

    Scrambled egg whites with some reduced fat cheese. I also like Better Oats raw/natural oatmeal with some fruit thrown in. The envelope is also the measuring cup so it can even be eaten at my desk.


    Why would anyone have eggs without the yolks? The egg nutrition discussion is riddled with disinformation.

    Egg yolks are the richest source of two superstar carotenoids—lutein and zeaxanthin. Not only are they bright yellow and cheerful looking, but yolks are loaded with fat-soluble antioxidant nutrients.

    Besides providing all eight essential proteinbuilding amino acids, a large, whole, fresh egg offers about six to seven grams of protein and five grams of fat (with about 1.5 grams of it saturated), which comes in handy to help in the absorption of all the egg’s fat-soluble vitamins.

    One egg contains the valuable vitamins A, K, E, D, B-complex and minerals iron, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

    Choline, another egg-nutrient, is a fatty substance found in every living cell and is a major component of our brain. Additionally, choline helps break up cholesterol deposits by preventing fat and cholesterol from sticking to the arteries.

    Here's a quick breakfast that's really good!!!

    Crack a couple eggs into a coffee mug. Mix well. Take a wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese and cut it up into small pieces and mix it in with the eggs.

    Put in microwave for maybe 60 seconds. Take out and stir. If the eggs are still liquidy, put back in the microwave but not too long because you don't want them to overcook.

    While they're cooking, rip up a few pieces of baby spinach. Add them to the cooked eggs the minute they come out of the microwave. Let spinach wilt.

    Put the scrambled egg mixture on a whole wheat english muffin and you're good to go!!!


    bump for later, sounds goodish!

    Why doctors recommend eating no more than two to three eggs per week if you're trying to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol?

    Egg Cup
    Cut the top inch off a green bell pepper; remove ribs and seeds. Stuff with a small handful of baby spinach or arugula, 1 ounce reduced-sodium deli roast turkey or ham, and 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheese. Top with an egg and a pinch of black pepper. Pierce the yolk and replace the pepper top. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 3 minutes.

    I love to eat a Boca buger on a flat bun with tomato, lettuce and mustard... less than 200 cal and tons of protein. Keeps me going for 4 to 5 hours. (you can also put on egg on top)

    Why doctors recommend eating no more than two to three eggs per week if you're trying to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol?

    The yolk contains the vast majority of the cholesterol in a whole egg. The white contains the vast majority of the protein. If you feel the need for fats at breakfast, sub the yolk for a 1/4 of an avocado (cholesterol is an animal-derrived fat, plants don't contain any cholesterol). Studies also suggest a couple of other diet modifications for lowering LDL: consuming LOW FAT dairy products (dairy calcium improves fat excretion), and moving toward a plant-based diet.

    i usually have granola with low fat yogurt and fruit (usually dried apricots or banana). I even have it on the go when I';m in a rush. I put it in a Tupperware box with a plastic spoon and then eat it on the train to work.

    At weekends I have poached egg on toast , or omelet with mushrooms, both of which are really filling.

    I also keep a few yogurts at work with some trail mix and dried fruit in case I'm tempted to skip breakfast at home. It stops me going to the cafe for a bacon butty and is really tasty.

    I also love hard boiled eggs which you can do the night before then put in a tortilla wrap with some ham and some salsa - really yummy and easy to eat on the go, or wrap up for later.
