3rd Day of induction......

[floydgirl]

Congratulations on your decision to start Atkins today. You have found a great place to learn and ask questions! Here is the recipie:

Use meat of your choice (or no meat at all). I have tried it with ham, and sausage. Cook your meat up and let it cool. The amount is up to you. Then I use 6 eggs at a time (makes about 6 muffins). Beat your eggs and add a little bit of water (sometimes I add a little bit of cream, its up to you). I use the nonstick muffin pans, which work great. I put a little bit of meat in each muffin, then cover it to almost the top with the egg mixture. Then take a little bit of cheese of your choice and sprinkle it on top. I bake it for about 10-15 minutes or so.

I am so glad that a fellow atkineer gave me this recipie! I use it all of the time.

Much success to your lowcarb WOL.

Moochiecat is right. Diet coke, diet sprite and any of the diet drinks made by Coca-cola all use aspartame - often aspartame is also called phenylalanine.

You may be best making your own drinks eg herbal tea or unsweetened cocoa and adding your own artificial sugar like Splenda (sucralose)

Thanks Floydgirl...they sound yummy.....what heat to you bake them in in the oven and you say that you sometimes use sausages..are we allowed sausages, i didnt think so but i would be so happy if you tell me we are..i love them....

Breakfast is also a big problem for me. The problem is that I have to get up at 5am, because I start work at 7am - and it takes me about 40 minutes to drive to work (very bad traffic around here). For the life of me I can't manage to eat egg at that time of morning - it makes me feel ill. As soon as I get to work then I realise how good those eggs would taste. In the end I land up waiting for lunch time, which I know is bad.
We don't have a microwave at work (can you belive that> :anger ?), so thats out of the question - although I did mention to my boss today that it might come in useful in winter!
Thanks to everyone for those egg muffin recipes- I think I will try it tonight - what a super idea! :nod

[floydgirl]

Sorry, I didn't say what temperature I bake the egg muffins at. I bake them at 350. You may have to adjust, depending on your oven. I can't eat eggs first thing in the a.m. either. I wait until about 9:00 or so to eat them. The type of sausage I use is a generic sausage (not links) that doesn't use sugar. It is difficult to find sausage that does not contain sugar or some kind of sugar product in it.

Hope you like them!

GenS can you buy a cheapo microwave for work? They aren't too expensive anymore. Wow, I can't imagine not having one at work. Thats pretty rough!

[GenS]

Lol :joy

Yeah! I agree! I think I need to start a microwave petition!!!
Whats worse is that we have the most expensive coffee's and so on...things that we don't really need?! And yes, microwaves are going very cheap these days!

Thanks for including the temp for the muffins! I'm sure they are going to be super delicious! :P

[floydgirl]

Yes, the muffins are very yummy. I just want everybody to keep in mind, you don't have to eat traditional breakfast foods at breakfast time! You can have last night's dinner leftovers, etc. Thats one great thing about this WOE -- the choice is up to you. Use your imagination and be creative. Sometimes I'll have a piece of chicken and some veggies for breakfast. You could also have some cheese with some veggies for breakfast. Have fun experimenting!

[tickletussler]

Yep, agree with floydgirl - if you dont mind it, leftover dinners are great, although mind you, not all leftovers are food you'd want to eat for breakfast.

I find if I did a soup, or roast chicken, sausages - foods like these which are simple enough for the early-morning palatte!
