HG Heads Up!

The average cereal serving size is a cup or less. The average cereal bowl holds
way
more than that. Fill up that bowl, and there's a good chance you'll be sucking down two to three servings—and two to three times the fat and calories.

For years I avoided Eggs Benedict because it's LOADED with fat and calories. This recipe was created out of sheer necessity (or should I say desperation?).

Ingredients

½ light English muffin

1 large egg

1 slice extra-lean ham

1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise

1 teaspoon light whipped butter or light buttery spread, softened

1 teaspoon lemon yogurt (or plain yogurt with a squirt of lemon juice)

Directions

To make sauce, combine mayo, Dijonnaise, butter, and yogurt. Set aside.

Crack egg gently into a small cup or dish, and set that aside as well.

Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, and bring water to a boil. Once boiling, lower temperature until a steady and consistent (but
very
low) boil is reached.

Gently pour the egg into the pot, and allow it to cook for 3 to 5 minutes (3 for a runnier egg, 5 for a very firm one), or until egg white is mostly opaque. Carefully remove egg by sliding a spatula underneath it and placing it on a plate. Use a paper towel to soak up any excess water.

Heat ham and muffin (toast muffin, if desired).

Heat sauce in the microwave for about 20 seconds and give it a stir (add more water if you prefer a thinner sauce). Top muffin with ham and egg, then cover with sauce.

chapter two
chop 'til ya drop
chopped salads
hack your salads. all the cool kids are doing it.

Why is there a whole chapter devoted to
chopped
salads, you ask? Because chopped salads are so much more fun and exciting than regular salads. They're
way
easier to eat, too (there are no unwieldy lettuce pieces to awkwardly shove in your mouth). That being said, if you're too lazy to hack your ingredients, or just not into chopped salads for some reason, feel free to make any of the salads in this chapter without chopping 'em up. They'll still taste great. As for dressing, the majority of the salads here are listed without it. Use your dressing of choice with any of the recipes, but please be sure to read labels carefully, because even low-fat and fat-free dressings can contain lots of calories. And remember, any time a recipe calls for an ingredient cooked in advance, use nonstick spray or nothing at all. Happy chopping!
