One thing I've been confused about this whole time I've been on the Zone Diet and Paleo Zone are egg yolks - are they good, or bad? I used to just eat the whole egg as is, then I started eating just one yolk per meal and had the rest of the blocks in egg whites, then for some reason I cut them out completely. The yolks do contain fat (about 2 blocks fat per yolk, I never count it though) but they also have all the nutrients in an egg. Either way I can't have them now and apparenlty it was the egg whites that hurt me in the end - they're "binding" and therefore harder to digest. If you don't like egg yolks, just use two egg whites per egg in the recipe below.
Spanish Scrambled Eggs
Zone: 3 blocks
Ingredients:
1/4 large brown onion (use 1/2 if the onion is small) (1/4C)
1/2 tomato (1/4C)
3-4 mushrooms (1/4C)
2 eggs 1 egg white (2.5P)
30g ham (off the bone if you can) (1/2P)
1 tsp olive oil (3F)
salt, pepper
italian herbs
1 apple or 1 pear or 16 cherries or 240g strawberries (2C)
- cut up the fruit and put to the side
- crack eggs into a bowl and mix well
- cut up the onion, tomato, mushrooms into small pieces and add to the bowl
- cut up the ham and add to the bowl
- mix everything well, add salt & pepper if you like
- get a frypan on a medium heat, add oil
- when oil is hot pour everything in and cook on a low - med heat
- cook for at least 5 -7 minutes. The egg will be done first but as long as the heat is low it will cook out the onions so they won't be crunch.
- serve on a plate, add italian herbs if you like, and mix (can have with or without this, both are yum)
- eat fruit as dessert, add some cinnamon to the apple for something different.
