Keeping It Delicious


I like to eat egg whites for breakfast because it has a ton of protein, very few calories, and zero fat or cholesterol.  The problem is they are bland.  For months I've been sprinkling them with Montreal steak seasoning, but I've grown tired of this staple and have taken on a new egg white companion - the best one yet. 

Marinara sauce in an egg white omelet is absolutely wonderful, and also very low in calories.  Two egg whites plus two tablespoons of marinara  comes to roughly 50 calories and packs 8 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs, and only 1 gram of fat.  1/8 cup shredded mozz is only 40 calories and gives it more of a pizza taste.  The whole glorious shebang is about 90 calories, and is packed with protein to help last you through the morning.  Can you beat that??  No, no you can't.  The trick is to be very diligent about how much cheese you are actually using - that can get out of hand (at least for me) really easily.
Here's the official breakdown:
