No Calorie, No Points Breakfast (Almost)

In anticipation of a big dinner at Luxe Buffet, I decided to go very light on breakfast and lunch.  I was saving my points for a splurge at this Chinese buffet in Carlsbad.  The philosophy of Weight Watchers is that you can eat whatever you want if you account for it.  So, I scrambled up a delicious breakfast of egg whites with sauteed zucchini, mushrooms and onions.  It's a great 1 point breakfast and almost no calories.  A side of mixed fruit, 0 points on Weight Watchers, completed the meal.  Here's the recipe.

                                            Veggie egg white scramble

3 egg whites

1/3 cup broccoli, cubed

1 large mushroom, sliced

1/4 cup red onion, diced

Spray a small pan with Pam, and saute all veggies until soft.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Add the egg whites, and  incorporate all ingredients, and cook until eggs are scrambled.  Add salt and pepper.  You can make this with any veggies you have on hand, or you can add protein, like shredded cheese or diced chicken if you desire.  I use whatever I have on hand.  Spinach, tomatoes and olives also work well.  So simple, so delicious, and you can save your points or calories for a splurge later in the day.
