Flavor is better than fat

As a self proclaimed foodie I love all food that is delicious and typically I associate that with starving myself through breakfast and lunch in order to eat something extravagant for dinner or dessert. Sound familiar? I think the concept of calorie counting alone can perpetuate this. However, a healthy caloric intake for me is 1100 calories a day and for Karl 1250, so there is definitely a balance between keeping track of what you're eating all day but making sure you divvy up those calories through out the day.

I started using the Android application "Fitness pal" to keep track of both calories and exercise.


If you get a popular omlett from IHOP you're facing  915 calories not including toast, juice,  and etc. YIKES! I don't think we will be eating out very much, you don't know what is going into your food unless you make it.

The Omlett I made at home today was only 376 calories with toast and and apple! So tasty too.


I really like Dave's killer bread for how much fiber and natural protein it has while still being free of any animal products.  You don't have to deprive yourself of bread, just make good choices of what bread you use.  
Delicious, filling and satisfying.

Omlett

Wisk 2 medium sized eggs (I prefer organic omega 3 eggs from Safeway), add some pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

Heat 1/4 tbs of olive oil in a small skillet at a medium to high heat ( 6 of 10 on our stove top)

Add your whisked/seasoned eggs to the hot skillet, unless you want scrambled eggs DO NOT TOUCH
until the eggs have cooked all the way through and the ends start to curl up a little.

Carefully flip half over on to the other half then slide on to your plate. I don't like having cold salsa on my eggs so I place a dollop of salsa in the still hot pan and heat up before place on top and then just for looks I garnish with parsley. (What? I like my food to be pretty)

Enjoy! Lean and delicious but chalk full of protein and fiber =)
