Enjoying a healthy, low-carb, and filling breakfast while you're losing weight sounds like a great way to start the day. Of course, there are going to be mornings when you may not have the time to prepare one, so you may be tempted to grab a quick, but much less nutritious, breakfast on the go. This egg white omelet with tomatoes recipe is just right for you, whether you're short on time or you just feel like fixing an easy dish. All you need is a few minutes, and even fewer ingredients, to prepare and enjoy a delicious breakfast that fits perfectly into both your busy routine and your weight loss plan.
This recipe uses egg whites, which offer a quality source of protein. Protein helps you feel fuller longer, which is great when you're following a diet plan to lose weight. Even better, the egg whites have very little fat and no cholesterol, which makes them a great food choice to include in your weight loss plan. The other main ingredient in this recipe is tomatoes, which contain a high amount of a powerful antioxidant known as lycopene, as well as large amounts of vitamins A and C. Tomatoes are also loaded with flavor and low in calories. Combine the egg whites, tomatoes, and a little seasoning for a simple, tasty, and very nutritious breakfast that is guaranteed to jump start your busy day.
