Lunches

Fried Rice for One...(or two you'll share)
I often keep rice premade in the fridge for a quick lunch!
Makes one HUGE serving - 363 calories, 5.9 g fat, 0.7 g sat fat, 57.8 g carbs, 8.7 grams fiber, 20.5 g protein

1 cups rice prepared rice (prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight - Don't skip this!)
1/2 cup egg substitute1/2 cup carrots (steam ahead if fresh, but go ahead and use frozen if you want)
1/2 of a small onion, chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tsp. olive oil
2-4 Tbls. soy sauce (to taste)
dash of pepper

Premake rice and store in refrigerator at least a few hours.  Spray pan with nonstick spray.  Scramble eggs, then remove from pan and set aside.  add olive oil to pan and saute carrots, onion and peas.  Add rice, soy sauce, and pepper.  Stir until well heated through.  OK, so at this point you're saying, "I can't eat ALL this."  So either go ahead and try, or add some chicken and share!

Mega Eggs
Seriously, you can't be hungry after this.
Makes one serving - 185 calories, 5.3 g fat, 0.8 g sat fat, 13.4 g carbs, 2.9 grams fiber, 20.3 g protien
3/4 cup egg whites or egg substitute
1 red pepper
1/4 large onion
1 bouillon cube
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh mushrooms

Chop peppers and onions to desired size.  Saute in olive oil until they just begin to caramelize.  Add crushed bouillon (or salt, or both).  Add spinach and mushrooms.  Saute until spinach is wilted.  Pour egg substitute (or whites) over the veggies.  At this point you can scramble or make an omelet.  I also love to add salsa to this.  If your day can accommodate the fat and calories also consider adding 1 oz. feta cheese once in a while. (FYI - Feta cheese is 75 calories, 6 g fat, 4.2 g sat fat, 1.2 g carbs, 0 fiber, and 4 g protein per ounce, use it wisely!)
