Breakfast-Week 1

I know that to be successful with any eating program, you have to have a good plan.  Usually, it's the slipping of the planning that causes the slipping of my diet.  Sometimes, it's easier for someone to just tell you what to eat.  Of course, eating prescribed foods never made anyone happy for long, but sometimes it can make things easier when you're in a rut.

Each week, I'll be posting my breakfast, lunch and dinners with points values and recipes if that applies and encourage you to use them for inspiration.

Friday (Weigh in Day)  I always skip breakfast on the morning of my weigh in.

Saturday
Breakfast Sandwich Florentine
Serves 1
 7  points+

I realize that I don't like vegetables that much and part of being successful on nearly any diet program is making sure to get veggies in. This sandwich will give you one serving of vegetables; more if you want to increase your spinach or tomatoes.

Ingredients
1 sandwich thin-3 pts
1 egg-2pts
1 tsp of butter-1 pt
spinach-.5 c
a few slice of tomato
1 wedge of laughing cow light creamery swiss cheese

1. Toast your sandwich thin
2. Melt butter in a small skillet and wilt spinach
3. In a second pan, coat with cooking spray and cook your egg to your taste.
4. When bread is toasted, spread with laughing cow.  Top with tomatoes, spinach and egg and serve with fruit

I know it sounds a little point heavy, but it was really filling and tasted really REALLY good.
