Low-Calorie Breakfast Sandwich: Ingredients
If your goal is to lose weight, you are going to want to have a breakfast meal that will keep you full until lunchtime. Let’s dive into why I chose the ingredients I did for this breakfast sandwich!
Dave’s Killer Bread doesn’t only sell toast; they also sell English breakfast muffins. I love this brand because the ingredients are cleaner, and the bread contains more protein than their competitors (6 grams).
Furthermore, I substituted the meat deli with Tofurky deli slices because this is a plant-based breakfast sandwich. Tofurky deli slices are low in calories, with just 20 calories per slice. They also have 2.6 grams of protein per slice.
Kraft Singles 2% milk reduced-fat American cheese has 4 grams of protein and 45 calories per slice. A regular Kraft Singles cheese slice has 60 calories. By using the 2% milk reduced-fat, we can save 15 calories. To save even more calories, you can try and find fat-free cheese at the grocery store.
Using egg whites instead of whole eggs will also keep the calories down (32 calories vs. 156 calories, respectively). Egg whites will also keep you full longer as you will be consuming more grams of protein. A 1/4 of a cup of egg whites has about 7 grams of protein.
Sugar-free ketchup also cuts down on the calories by a bit. It’s 10 calories per tablespoon as opposed to 20 if you buy regular ketchup.
