Tex-Mex Omlete
I’ve written about my love affair with Lightlife veggie products before, basically they make veggie alternatives to popular dishes – garlic chicken teryaki (which is excellent), chili, orange sesame chicken - and it turns out, Tex Mex, which I found on my recent Whole Foods excursion, so this morning I thought the Tex Mex would nicely round out (carbohydrate wise) my typical (3 days a week) omelet variation - I must say it was delicious - and even though I ate all three servings of the Tex-Mex the nutritional numbers where excellent.
- 3 egg whites (roughly 3.5g) - 50 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 1.5 carb
- 1 package Tex-Mex - 150 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 18g carb
- 28g Kraft fat-free Cheddar Cheese - 45 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 1g carb
To save you from having you do the math. that’s 245 calories, and under 20 grams of carbs, That leaves a tiny bit of wiggle for some form of fiber, which in my case is a 1/4(ish) cup of Post Grapenuts which I graze on over the course of the morning.
In case you think I’m more obsessed about the numbers, than I am with the taste, you’re wrong - I’m absolutely obsessed with them equally - If I’m going to put the effort to prepare food, it’s going to be both delicious, AND good for me - I figure I wasted 35 years on food that wasn’t doing me any good, this seems the least I can do.
Eat well, enjoy!
