Spinach Omlette

Ok, so I definitely had a nice night last night, we went to the Star Party, and silly DH was in shorts (he's a bit stubborn and he hates pants), so he was cold, but they had a campfire, hot cocoa, and smores...so it was all good...

Got to see Venus up close, the Orion nebula (a cloud of dust and gas in the Orion constellation) and the Pleideas (sp?)...very cool...

So, I'm up again, and making breakfast...I'd never made this before with spinach, and it definitely needs some tweaking, which I'll talk more about as I go...again, it took a total of 5 minutes...but I was only making it for myself, so for 2 people, it might take a bit longer...

Ingredients (sorry, didn't take a picture of them):
2 eggs
spinach
Everglades seasoning
Fage Yogurt
Strawberries

The first thing I did was make the inside of the omlette...steamed the spinach...then put the drained spinach in a cup, and mixed in the yogurt and the Everglades seasoning (I love the stuff, the flavor is just about perfect for almost everything)...






Then I made the egg part - this is the part that I definitely need to tweak - will explain as I go. What I did was just break the eggs, put them right in the pan, and stir a bit with the spatuala...but, the eggs were a bit "thick"...so, what I should have done is put the eggs in a bowl, mix with some milk...and then put it in a larger pan to make a larger, thinner omlette...so, if you are making this - do that...anyway...after the top part got more solid looking, I flipped it with a spatula, and just let the other part cook for about 30 seconds...




After that, I put the omlette on a plate...then put the yogurt/spinach inside...and made it into an omlette...for flavor, I put a bit if everglades seasoning on top...also included a few fresh strawberries, cause they looked yummy...hope you like it...




Ok, now for the nutritional value:
2 eggs: 70 Cal each = 140 Cal (10 g Fat, 0 g Carbohydrates, 12 g Protein)
Spinach (about 1 cup): 7 Cal (0 g Fat, 1 g Carbohyrates - 1gFiber, 0gSugar, 1 g Protein)
Yogurt (1/2 cup): 60 Cal (0 g Fat, 4.5 g Carbohydrates - 0gFiber, 4.5gSugar, 10 g Protein)
Strawberries (3): 17 Cal (0 g Fat, 4 g Carbohydrates - 1gFiber, 2.5gSugar, 0 g Protein)
Total = 224 Cal (10 g Fat, 9.5 g Carbohydrates - 2gFiber, 7gSugar, 23 g Protein)

WOW! Very few calories...fewer than I thought, and tons of protein...good!
If I keep this kind of calorie content up, then I can eat 5 meals a day - GREAT!!

Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I start out with a big breakfast...it takes a total of about five minutes to cook, and tastes delicious!!

I eat the same thing for breakfast every day:

Breakfast:
2 cage-free organic eggs (scrambled, but put it in a non-stick pan, and just flip it over to cook it, makes it into a circle shape)
a bit of everglades seasoning
Fat-free Fage Greek yogurt: http://fageusa.com/?gclid=CJLi8O3zhpgCFQ-bnAod1UH6DQ#/products/zero/ on top then fold in half and it is a delicious omlette
2 pieces of organic Nature's Own bread http://www.naturesownbread.com/NAT_Varieties/variety.cfm?categoryid=101&productid=285- toasted, with 1/2 tablespoon butter on top
Water

Calories:
Eggs: 70 Cal each = 140 Cal total (8 g Fat, 0 g Carbohydrates - 0gSugar, 12 g Protein)
Seasoning: 0 Cal
Yogurt: 120 Cal/serving = 120 Cal total (0 g Fat, 9 g Carbohydrates - 9gSugar, 20 g Protein)
Bread: 100 Cal each = 200 Cal total (3 g Fat, 42 g Carbohydrates - 6gSugar, 10 g Protein) **Just noticed - this has Soybean oil in it - I will be replacing this with something else soon and will update
Butter: 50 Cal (6.5 g Fat, 0 g Carbohydrates, 0 g Protein)
Total: 510 Cal (17.5 g Fat, 51 g Carbohydrates - 15 g Sugar, 42 g Protein)

Having seen this, I need to lower the amount of Carbohydrates, and get a different bread. I think the best way to do this is to change to Wasa crackers instead, these: http://us.wasa.com/Pages/WasaProducts-MultiGrain.aspx. The ingredients are much better, and two of these are very filling...

So, that would change everything to:
Calories:
Eggs: 70 Cal each = 140 Cal total (8 g Fat, 0 g Carbohydrates - 0gSugar, 12 g Protein)
Seasoning: 0 Cal
Yogurt: 120 Cal/serving = 120 Cal total (0 g Fat, 9 g Carbohydrates - 9gSugar, 20 g Protein)
Wasa Crackers (2): 45 Cal each = 90 Cal total (0 g Fat, 20 g Carbohydrates - 0gSugar, 4 g Protein)
No butter!
Total: 350 Cal (8 g Fat, 29 g Carbohydrates - 9 g Sugar, 36 g Protein)

BETTER!!
Lots of protein to begin the day...lower Carbohydrates, not too much fat...

I seem to be hungry again in about 3 hours...but since it is also better to eat many small meals, this is also ok...
