Veggie Frittata with Ham For the fancy egg lover Makes 6 servings Ingredients 4 oz mushrooms, cleaned and sliced 1 small onion (or ½ of a large onion), diced 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (tip: roll and press in paper towels) 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced ½ cup deli ham, coarsely chopped 7 eggs + 5 egg whites (or 2.5 cups of egg substitute) ¼ skim milk ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper (a pinch) Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using cooking spray or olive oil, grease a 6-muffin tin (or one 8-in pan). Set aside. Spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray, or lightly coat with oil. Over medium heat, sauté together onion and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked to your liking. Remove from heat.

Pour egg mixture into greased muffin tin (or pan). Arrange tomato slices on top of the egg mixture in a single layer. Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until eggs are set but not brown. Enjoy with a small salad for brunch. Phentermine.com’s Pro Tip: Check the eggs about 5 minutes before they’re “supposed to” be done.

Pour into a medium pan and scramble over medium/medium-low heat. Pour the beans into a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute or until warm. Assemble all ingredients into tacos! Each person gets two tacos. Phentermine.com’s Pro Tip: If you’re using corn tortillas, have each person microwave their tortillas for 10-15 seconds before assembling their tacos.

Healthy Breakfast Ideas 5 Low Calorie Lunch Ideas What to Eat for Lunch on Phentermine 6 Simple Healthy Meals for Phentermine Weight Loss Healthy Back to School Snacks for Weight Loss Healthy 2 Ingredient Snacks for Weight Loss Menu Tips for a Healthier Brunch Out If you’re looking forward to a special meal out at a restaurant this Mother’s Day, keep the following tips in mind to help yourself make healthier brunch choices: 1. Use skim milk for your coffee (or tea), and limit sugar If you order something to drink and like to add milk, ask for skim milk instead of using the cream on the table. Also, eliminate or limit the sugar you add to your hot drinks. Making these small changes in your morning habits can save hundreds of calories over the course of your phentermine journey (and beyond!). 2. Choose lean meats Favor chicken or turkey breast, or fish if you’re picking meats for an omelet or sandwich. Lean/natural ham is also a good protein source, unlike sausage or bacon. Lean meats have less total fat, saturated fat, and calories than their fattier counterparts. 3. Ask for egg whites, if possible Lots of brunch dishes include eggs! If the restaurant allows it, order your dish to be made with egg whites instead of whole eggs. Egg whites have all the protein of whole eggs but only a fraction of the fat, cholesterol, and calories. 4. Go for whole-grain/whole-wheat toast When choosing a side of toast or bread for a sandwich, ask for whole-grain or whole-wheat bread. The extra fiber has many benefits for your body, including keeping you full longer to promote weight loss! 5. If the portion is huge, take half home One of the hardest parts of eating out is portion control. If the portion looks like way more than you need to eat (or would eat at home), take half home and have it for leftovers.
