I recently found an easy breakfast idea for busy docs. “Hungry Girl” is a website with interesting (and usually humorous) advice for people trying to lose weight – including recipes. If you are trying to lose weight (or avoid weight gain), follow the recipe as written. If you aren’t trying to lose weight, use whole eggs, real sausage, butter, etc.
One word of advice – if you are using whole eggs, make sure you scramble them before putting them in the microwave (unless you want an egg explosion and a huge mess to clean up!). Even for egg whites alone, stop the microwave to stir every once in a while!
Another great breakfast that’s really healthy – instant oatmeal with an egg white or two added before microwaving to add protein. Top with dried cherries and 1 Tbsp crushed walnuts. Takes literally 3 minutes to make.
