I wish someone would make the frozen breakfast scrambles WLS friendly. They all have bread or potatoes in them......if I eat eggs in the morning, I am full until lunch. I can not motivate myself to cook in the morning.....oh the woes of laziness. I usually hae 1 hour to get up and ready and out the door....anyone have pre made egg ideas?

What if you made yourself a scramble in the evening and then heated it in the microwave in the morning? You could probably make two or three servings at one time, and then just keep it in the fridge for a few days.

Hello again Kelly.

I saw you recently answered this post and I am hoping you can address something for me. I've been using BA protein drink since I got home from the hospital and I am at the bottom of the tub. It costs Like $37 for just 21 shakes. That's too expensive for me even though it is good. Is there anything you recommend from Wal-Mart or GNC that I can pick up on short notice. Likewise is there a product you would order on-line?

One other thing. I asked you about the calcium citrate I ordered from BA and told you I couldn't stand it. You suggested that I call BA and I did. They are sending me a free sample pack and will exchange my 2 unopened jars.

Thanks loads for all your help.

Jim

I've never bought protein powder at either of those places. I think Walmart has one called Body Fortress that some people like. Look for something that is whey isolate.

I'm glad BA is exchanging the calcium crystals for you.

Target has a whey isolate protein powder in their brand (Market Pantry). It's $20 a tub and can be found near the protein bars. It's good and reasonably priced.

I read this post by "Lovemypugs" a while ago, and these recipes come in really handy during the week for me. I mainly keep it simple by adding a little shredded cheese and salsa.

Hope you enjoy these too!

1. Don't worry if the contents of your mug expand and rise to crazy-high heights while in the microwave. This is okay and expected. They'll calm down after you're done nuking them.

2. Our egg mug recipes are 100000% guilt-free. Sometimes we eat two at a time. Sometimes we pair one with a lovely Fuji. Just sayin'...

3. On the go? Wrap your microwave-made scramble in a high-fiber tortilla or stuff it inside a Sandwich Thin. Mmmmm!!!

i have also made a quick "omelet" in a ziploc baggie. You take your egg, cheese, salt etc and put in a ziploc. You mu**** all around. Drop it in boiling water for about 1 min and 1/2 and it cooks thru and rolls out like a little omelet.
