Well it's Make Over Menu Monday and today's topic is omelets. I love omelets during my quest to lose pounds they were my best friend and still are. Now I am sure of all of you who are counting calories or just trying to maintain a healthy weight we automatically think veggie omelets is the safe way to go and they could be if you know what your actually getting at a restaurant or if your really paying attention when your making them at home.
If there is one thing I learned the hard way is that you need portion control but that doesn't mean your going to starve. Most of us aren't even aware how much fat or calories we even consume. Another mistake so many of us think is you have to do without to lose. Umm, you have to eat! Once I started eating, especially breakfast " up until the last year or so I hated breakfast" the weight starting falling off and now for the most part breakfast is my favorite meal, I look forward to it, it's my quiet time in the morning or my time with my husband which I so enjoy. I try to make it special even if it's something as simple as oatmeal.
So here is a garden veggie omelet at a well known chain. Yummy but it's going to cost you 840 calories and 66 grams of fat. that's insane for one meal!
For my omelet you will need:
3/4 cup of egg beaters
3/4 cup steamed peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes ' Steam veggies in microwave
1 slice of low fat cheddar cheese or the flavor of choice
Pam
1/2 cup of fresh fruit of your choice
And the total calorie count for my version 240 calories and very very low fat
