Tanya’s Tasty Tips: Breakfast Sandwich Makeover

Don’t we all love that McDonald’s Egg McMuffin?  But did you know that it has more than 400 calories and 25g fat and NO fiber? 

My healthy version is tastier than the real thing, has more fiber and fewer grams of fat. I promise, you won’t miss a thing and you will feel fuller for longer!

 

 Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 slice Canadian bacon
• 1 egg
• 1 slice Kraft Free American cheese
• 1 Thomas’ light multigrain English muffin

1. In a nonstick skillet, cook Canadian bacon until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Spray pan with nonstick spray. Add egg and scramble.
3. While egg is cooking, place the cheese on one half of the English muffin and put both sides into a toaster oven to toast.
4. Remove English muffin from toaster oven, place Canadian bacon and scrambled egg on muffin, and top with the slice of cheese. Enjoy!

Awesome recipe re-construction Tanya.

At just over 60% of the original versions calories, I can have two.

Just kidding, sort of.

Have you heard of the recent study that looked at the effectiveness a “big breakfast” has on lowering appetite throughout the day. The link is here - http://healthhabits.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/the-big-breakfast-diet/

I would be curious to hear your opinion.

Love the book by the way.

Quite frankly, everything is groovy right up to the 64 calorie saving in Kraft Free. The replacement of who knows what for something that might almost be considered dairy product is not worth the gain of only 64 calories!
