DAY 2: Because I started over...

DAY 2

This morning I decided to attempt a copycat recipe of my own.  I searched online to see if there was an existing copycat recipe for the Egg White Parmesan and Turkey Sausage Breakfast bowl that I have been getting at McDonald's and there isn't.  So it is my duty to get one out there!  Therefore, here it is:

BREAKFAST - 309 Calories

Egg White Parmesan and Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl COPYCAT
Ingredients (Serves 1)
2 Turkey Sausage Patties ( I used Jones Dairy Farm, they were really good.)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Cups Fresh Spinach
2 Slices of of a ripe tomato, diced into cubes (About 1/4 cup)
1 Tablespoon Shaved Parmesan Cheese
1 Cup Liquid Egg Whites
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper

Heat the sausage patties according to package directions.  (I set them in a pan on the stove at medium high heat and cooked each side about 3-4 minutes)  When done, cut the patties into 1/6th pieces (Like a pizza) and place them at the bottom of the bowl you will be serving your dish in.

Using the same pan, add 1tbsp of extra virgin olive oil (You can also replace this with water to save more calories but I do not suggest it with this meal).  Once hot, toss in the diced tomatoes and the spinach.  (I threw it in one handful at a time, but you can put it in all at once.)  Saute the tomatoes and spinach.  Sprinkle garlic, salt and pepper in to taste.  Once wilted and cooked toss this mixture into the bowl with the turkey sausage.

Using the same pan, pour in your egg whites.  Stir these often or they will burn!  Add a little pepper and salt.  Once cooked through, sprinkle a pinch of shaved parmesan over the eggs and let them melt very slightly.  Add the eggs to the serving bowl.  Sprinkle with a little more shaved parmesan and serve hot!

LUNCH - 289 Calories

For lunch I made a pita pocket (ONLY 243 CALORIES!) with the chicken from last night.  (Grilled with salt and pepper).  I used a wheat pita and cut it in half.  I opened it and stuffed it with Arugula, Spinach, sprouts, tomato, grilled chicken and I used the Tahini Avocado salad dressing from the Arugula Goat Cheese salad that I picked up from Vons.  It was so good!  This is a very filling and very low calorie meal so I WILL be making it again.  I ate about 1 cup of watermelon (46 Calories) as well.  And later in the day I had a snack of Ritz Sour Cream and Onion crackers, one serving.

DINNER - Calories Not much...

For dinner I had a cup of leftover Chicken Coconut Lemongrass soup.  It did not have very many calories but I am not sure how many if I had to guess... Maybe 280?  I also ate about two cups of watermelon for desert so... That is that.  I am not really that hungry tonight.  I am tired though!! So I am going to go snuggle with my comforter and pillows now.  Goodnight!
