I love making omlettes. They are so low cal (if you make them right) and so high protein and so tasty. I have to resist putting a ton of cheese in them though.
Essentially what I do is take one egg and then 1-2 egg whites and scramble them up - using egg whites cut down a little on calories and cholesterol but add protein.
Then I add whatever veggies have have handy, today I used spinach and salsa.
I had some frozen shrimp I thawed out and added to the mix and then just sprinkled about 1/8 cup of reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese. I only used a teeny bit of Smart Balance Spread for a slight buttery taste (about a teaspoon) and a shake of salt and a bunch of pepper. All in all it came to about 315 calories, not bad for a protein (>40g!) packed meal.
