Super Yummy Fast Breakfast



Recommended Posts

I am bad about eating Breakfast because I fall into the same rut and eat the same thing everyday. Gets boring.

So I found these on Pinterest: http://www.amyskitch...sandwiches.html

I mean, who doesn't like an egg mcmuffin?!

I baked the eggs last night and stuck them in the fridge. I toasted a 10 grain english muffin and put a smidge of butter on it. I put an egg and a piece of canadian bacon and half a slice of cheese on it and put it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Put it all together - and it was awesome.

McDonal's Egg McMuffin:

300 calories

12g Fat

30g Carbs

18g Protein

Homemade Egg McMuffin:

250 calories

7g Fat

31g carbs

18g Protein

Information would change slightly depending on what kind of muffin you used. Super simple and easy (and cheaper) way to start the day off with a good filling breakfast!

15 minutes on 350 degree oven. Yolks were cooked through. You could go for less time if you wanted runny yolk.

I'm not on that stage of solid food yet but can't wait to get there - I love these sandwiches @ McDonalds but this is cheaper & quicker.. My only question is does the egg stay good for a whole week after being cooked?? I will definetly be trying this in a few weeks when I can start solids... Thanks for sharing...

Not sure about how long they will actually stay good for as I just made them for the first time yesterday. But I made more because my husband also eats these for breakfast. If you are worried about them going bad before you eat them all - just cook fewer eggs at a time.

That sounds good - I used to make them pre-surgery but made my eggs like an omelet to put on the muffin. What is your daily carb count that you can have? I am allowed about 40g a day at 10weeks.

Thanks

I wasn't given limits on certain things like how many carbs/day. My dietician wants me to have up to 1500 calories per day with 85g Protein. I need 10 servings of protein, 4 veggie servings, 3 fruit servings, 4 starches and 3 fat servings in a day. And I work it out that way. I keep track of my food intake on MyFitnessPal.

No way could I eat that much bread. I might do an open face on a hiking day. I'd also scramble the egg. It's weird. I love eggs, but only scrambled and fried hard with the yolk squished. Poached or hard boiled eggs give off a smell I cannot tolerate.

I still eat about 750 calories a day with my carbs below 40. I am 5'1" though. I'm 8 months out BTW.

I can't eat a whole one either!

I work at Headstart and this past Thursday morning we had eggs for breakfast so I tried this recipe. Keep in mind I cook for 3-4yr olds and they absolutely loved the individual mini eggs. Such a great idea.

So glad to read this! I'm on pre op diet now and the whole grain english muffins in the fridge are taunting me. I was thinking I probably wouldn't be able to have them again. I can't wait until I get to the point where I can have one.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
