Breakfast fast
I have a good idea for breakfast. I don't have time in the morning and I work early. The night before, I cook 3 egg whites, and put it in the fridge. Then I get an English muffin, and a piece of weight watchers cheese. I have it all ready, in the fridge. I just heat it up in the morning. Saves money, and is better for you!
