Tpis for a Healthy Breakfast - Jump-Starting Your Diet Day

Don't Break for Dough Boys, Doughnuts & Dough Wads: Breaking to these doughy well-bred foods may help you break your weight loss goals. The average donut contains 180 calories and 'lard only knows, how many grams of fat'.

Sunny Side Up, Over Easy, Hard, Ruffles, Scrambled, Poached: No, we're not referring to your sex life, or even your morning ahead! We're simply collecting and putting all of our Diet Eggs in one basket so that we might answer a frequent question among dieters: Which cooking method is easiest on the waist when it comes to cooking eggs?

Frankly, when it comes to calories, all egg-cooking methods are close when non-stick cooking spray is used for frying instead of butter or oil. Calorie wise, the best overall bet would be a boiled egg when consuming the entire egg. Check the egg carton for calories, because that's going to be dependent upon the size of egg used.

Our Diet Egg Joke: Dieter Alan got advice from his doctor that he was allowed to eat only three eggs per week due to a certain health issue - Cholesterol on the Edge. He promised his nutritionist that he would abide by her suggestion, though it would be difficult for Dieter Alan, as he was a big egg lover.

By and by, time passed - twelve weeks in all, and Alan returned to the nutritionist for a cholesterol check. He patiently waited for the results, knowing that they would be stellar because he had been a very good boy - eating only three eggs per week.

Nutritionist Nancy appeared in the doorway, quite frustrated for some reason. Alan looked at her and calmly asked, "What?"

She asked, "Alan, how many eggs per week have you been stuffing down? Your bad cholesterol is not only off the roof, it's to the moon and the cow is jumping over!"

Alan knitted his brows, looking quite puzzled. "Only three per week - just as you prescribed. I was very careful too, taking care not to consume hidden eggs in recipes throughout the day. I just don't understand."

Well, Nutritionist Nancy settled down a bit, now that she knew Alan had been a good boy - even though the 'boy' was forty-nine and holding. Maybe his problem was heredity. She cleared her throat, then queried, "Only three. Hum." Then a thought struck her. "Alan, what size were those eggs? Small? Medium, large or extra large?"

Alan scratched his head and eased out, "I suppose they were pretty small - as ostrich eggs go, that is."

Don't Surrender to Sweet: Although tarts that are popped, and toast that is Frenched are both lovely, they aren't lovely when you're trying to lose weight. Most toaster tarts contain about 400 calories a pair. Talk about a full house. And you sure don't want those calories to move down into your basement.

Substitute Teacher: Try substituting butter with no calorie cooking sprays and butters. Rather than full blow syrup, opt for lite. Use Splenda for sugar. Make it a practice to purchase low fat milk and creams. Use no calorie cooking sprays to get the job done.
