posting from home using dial-up. Bored.

For the record--egg whites, fat free faux egg stuff, and fat free cheddar, even with chili powdered chicken, onion, peppers and peach mango salsa, still tastes like faux egg and fat free cheddar.

I'm just sayin.'

And thanks to Tonks for the pug sweater hints!

That much faux food would make me sick, actually. :/

Brave, brave woman.

Isn't most of the fake egg stuff just egg whites with some yellow coloring? How about if you do egg whites, and then just one little half of an egg yolk so you are eating real food?

And fat free cheese is an abomination. But you gets points for trying.

I think in future I will do the eggs whites and real eggs in a 2:1 ratio--I think that will significantly improve flavor.

And yeah on the cheese thing--it's my dietary Achilles heel, though, so I'm starting at the bottom and then seeing where I can find an acceptable intersection of taste, volume, and calorie.

There has been only one fat free cheddar that I like. And it's Wegman's brand sliced cheese for sandwiches. That tastes almost like regular yellow american cheese.

Cabot makes a fairly decent 50% fat free cheese. It's easier to find than their 75% fat free chesse. (I only ever treated myself to the Cabots because they are more expensive than other brands).

Don't know if that helps.

Yeah, this was Kraft shredded fat free cheddar. Yuck. I found the Cabot 75%. Definitely better--I had it on triscuits last night (and at 1 pt an ounce...). It's an experiment. Nobody has bitched yet (mostly, I think, cause they both feel like they could lose a stone....

I have to come up with something--mostly giving up sweets (which seems to be most people's problem) is no stress for me. It's the real dairy. That's killing me!

Gee, all the other stuff sounds great...why not ignore the fake eggs and cheese and stick to that?

Yeah, it was pretty tasty--but I was craving an omelet!
