Eggs can be rather boring if you eat them often like I do. I look to other low fat, low carb ideas to keep it interesting and tasty.
- If you want to make your scrambled eggs a little more tasty and slightly sweet tasting, mix in a tablespoon or two of low fat cream cheese when beating the eggs.This is an interesting way to spice up your eggs.
- Try using some low sodium teriyaki sauce on the side to dip scrambled eggs in. I know, it sounds gross but it is really a good combination
- Low fat Parmesan cheese or feta cheese is another way to make plain eggs exciting.
If you have any good low fat, low carb ideas, please comment or e-mail me.

I have found a great healthy alternative to plain bread or rolls for your favorite sandwich.
It is Flatout Flatbread, I buy them at Costco. The multi-grain with flax are excellent tasting are only 100 calories per piece, 2.5g fat, and (get this) provide 8 g or equal to 31% of your daily requirement of recommended fiber.
The Flatout Flatbread gets two thumbs up in my book for being tasty, excellent for you, and relatively inexpensive compared to others that I have tried.
Give it a shot, you will enjoy.
Ok if you like salsa this one is great. It works with chips, over eggs, on chicken, burgers. It is low fat, low carb and is extremely simple to make.
Ingredients:
4 Roma tomatoes or 6 Calipari tomatoes (costco fav)
1/2 sweet onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Mince tomatoes into 1/4" chunks
Mince the onions
Chop the cilantro somewhat fine
Mix all ingredients together, cover, let set in the refrigerator for two hours. Eat!!
Hint: If the tomatoes are watery, drain them off into the sink before mixing the ingredients together.
This recipe took me 10 minutes to make last night.
I am making these again today.
It's simple:
Ground sirloin patties
Minced garlic - about a 1/2 tbsp per burger
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Mix the three ingredients per burger. Grill to suit.
Cut in half, roll up in a whole grain or low carb wrap with some salsa.
Enjoy. Total about 20 minutes if you take your time.
This one I only had once, but I will make it more often now that I have thought about it. It is healthy and delicious. Enjoy.
1" wide salmon fillets - no skin
Romaine lettuce for roll-ups
Sauted onions
Zucchini cut lengthwise into two parts
Saute onions until soft and clear to put into rollups. Set aside and keep warm.
Coat salmon fillets and underside of zucchini with olive oil. Place in grill on medium heat. Season salmon to taste with your favorite spices. Cook salmon until cooked thoroughly, cook zucchini until hot and to desired texture. Slice zucchini.
Place salmon, some onions to taste, and zucchini (if desired, or have them as a side dish) into lettuce and roll up. Enjoy.
Looking for a low fat, low calorie tartar sauce? This is easy to make, tastes great, and will make any seafood dish wonderful.
1 cup fat free salad dressing
1/3 cup sugar free relish
2 tsp Italian seasonings ( I use Costco brand)
Mix all ingredients together and place in a bowl in the fridge for an hour.
If you want to spice it up, add a dash of old bay or mesquite seasonings.
It is great on fish and scallops.
Enjoy.
