Karen,


This looks like something that would work at our house. Since I'm trying to be more "aware" on my re-entry into the program, I'm realizing that this is the kind of thing that I wonder about "counting" (although we don't really count).


Please check if my understanding is right: the cottage cheese is a protein (unlimited); the eggs are a protein (unlimited up to maybe 2 eggs per day), the spinach is unlimited, and the LF cheddar is a protein with

Yes, these would be completely allowed. I think one with some turkey bacon on the side would be a nice breakfast, or one with a side salad would make a nice lunch. You could certainly have two if you wanted.


I haven't made these yet, but I just bought the ingredients and plan to try them over the weekend.
