I have so much trouble finding low calorie on the go food to eat in the morning. I thought I was doing OK the other morning when I stopped for a breakfast sandwich and that night realized that the breakfast sandwich I had chosen was over 400 calories. OMG! I was so upset.
I set out to make sure we were not going to be eating breakfast that was too high in calories his semester. We have to eat, but it was going to be as low of calories as possible but filling at the same time.
I came up with the idea to make my own breakfast sandwich on a bagel-thin but I wanted my egg to fit just right on the bagel. I didn't want to have to cut it down or have it a lumpy mess because most of the time I will be eating on my way to school. I don't want it falling all over the place or getting on my clothes. I found this cute little pan at Wal-Mart for under $5 that makes fried egg the perfect size. The only problem I found with this pan is although it looks non-stick it's not! You have to spray it with oil.
I put a lot of thought into what we could have and I came up with the Ham-let. A sort-of ham omelet just using lower calorie ingredients. It’s quick and easy to make the night before you need it and it tastes great the next day and it's fewer than 200 calories! Oh yea!!
