Fun with Food

This morning I decided to have french toast for breakfast. Not the calorie and fat laden french toast, but a lighter healthier version.

Since I just KNEW the french toast was going to be so diet friendly, I splurged and had 3 pieces of turkey sausage.

Here's the french toast recipe:
2 pieces high fiber whole wheat bread
1 egg
1 egg white
~1/8 cup fat free soy milk
splenda and cinnamon to taste

I used one tablespoon of Polaner all fruit in place of syrup.


Where did the french toast and fruit spread net out?

Total calories: 361 kcal
Total fat: 7 g (sat fat 2 g)
Total carbohydrates: 57 g
Total fiber: 8 g
Total protein: 23 g

The sausage added an additional 120 kcal, 7 g fat and 6 g protein.

At the end of the day, that's a little more than I wanted to eat for breakfast. Instead of having a sandwich for lunch, I'll do a salad.

The big takeaway for me is to think before I eat...not just about the current morsel, but how it will work with the rest of the day. I have diet/exercise tracking software on my computer, I need to be a little more diligent with using it in the prepping stage...not AFTER I've eaten.
