Breakfast!?!

I've been struggling with breakfasts lately. If I try to eat one more bowl of oatmeal, I think I'll hurl it against the wall.  And I'm even tired of eggs and bacon.  When you're dieting, especially when you're doing it over a long period of time, it's hard to come up with something that really tastes good and is going to get your through your day until lunch.  Fruit alone won't cut it.  I really need protein and a small amount of fat.  So here I am digging for recipes.  Today I tried one that I saw on Facebook.   It's at https://www.facebook.com/officialgoodful/videos/1460451714025290/.  (I tried to link the video, but it wasn't working out for me).

It looks good, doesn't it?  Well, it was quite bland.  And what few instructions the video gives, wasn't adequate.  For one thing, it says you can make the cups with 5 large eggs.  In order to fill the cups, I had to use 9 large eggs.  Of course, there is the possibility that the muffin tray I was using was larger than what they used, but it sure didn't look that way, and if it was much smaller, there wouldn't have been enough to eat.  The time and temp of 20 minutes at 350 worked out fine.  It didn't call for salt and pepper, but I added them anyway, and still, it was unbelievably bland.  I decided what this little cup needed was a little butter.  Without any butter it was only 149 calories per cup.  I decided to do a little experiment.  I tried a second cup with half a tablespoon of butter, and it was so much better, but then, just about everything is better with a little butter.  This brought it to 199 calories which is certainly lower than most breakfasts.  The extra butter would also help curb my appetite until lunch.  However, I will continue my hunt for better breakfasts.

By they way, for those who are interested, I've now lost 84 pounds.
