Look at that picture! If that doesn't add color to your day then I don't know what will.....
This is just a quick, healthy dinner. You can either use whole eggs, egg whites, egg substitute or a mixture of any of them for the omelette base. There's been a lot of controversy over egg yolks and their high levels of cholesterol but I am here to tell you fear no more.....current research (and I agree with this) points to the high bioavailability of the protein from eggs as well as their abundance of vitamin E. However, the most important message is that it is saturated fat and your genetic make up that contributes to high LDL (bad) cholesterol, so go ahead and enjoy your eggs but remember the Dietitian's favorite phrase.....everything in moderation! Oh, BTW, watch the sodium content in egg substitute.....it can be high, especially if you are salt sensitive or have high blood pressure....
So, back to the food........feel free to vary your fillings for your omelette.
Some suggestions: tomato, shredded sharp cheese, roasted red peppers, diced ham, leftover cooked diced chicken or turkey, green onions, leftover roasted vegetables, cooked potato, olives, jalapeno peppers, cooked peas, mushrooms, low fat cottage cheese...........phew, that's quite a list!
Anyway, just add a healthy, brightly colored salad and you're ready to go!
Enjoy......
