Glamour’s Calorie Math : Omelet vs. Eggs & Canadian Bacon
In an issue of Glamour magazine, the Calorie Math section compared two breakfast options. An omelet and sunny-side up eggs with Canadian bacon and sides. You might be surprised at which is the better pick.
You could eat : A three-egg omelet cooked in 1 teaspoon butter with 2 ounces cheddar cheese and 2 ounces ham OR You could eat : Two sunny-side up eggs with 2 slices Canadian bacon, 1 piece whole-grain toast with 1 teaspoon butter, 1 6-ounce glass of orange juice and a small glazed doughnut.
Which do you think is the better option? Option 1, the omelet, contains 570 calories and 42 grams fat. Option 2, sunny-side up eggs with Canadian bacon and sides, contains 570 calories and 26 grams fat. To make it even better, eat turkey bacon instead of Canadian bacon.The main lesson here is to go simple with eggs and watch what you put in your omelet. Cheese and processed meat can really take a toll on the health content of an item. Fill your omelet with veggies and, if you prefer cheese, use soy or rice cheese instead.

I’m not big on omelets but I love over-easy eggs! I like to dip wheat toast in the yoke…MMMM! I need to figure out what to make for dinner tonight.
Eh..I’m not a fan of eggs but if I did, I like the whole Canadian bacon deal. Hehe, I’ve never tried it but I hear people eating it and smacking their lips about how delicious it is. I feel so bad though, in terms of health and watching what I eat I usually only eat whatever my mother or father cooks so I never know caloric information off a box unless I check it out myself. *coughs* Which is quite rare.
My older brother has a Seiko watch, the kinetic version… Pretty farking awesome as it doesn’t run on batteries!
I found this on them:
“The Seiko kinetic watch uses the movement of the wearer’s arm to produce the electrical energy to keep the watch running. Once the kinetic watch has been fully charged, the wearer can enjoy a full six months of continuous use; no need to change batteries, no need for winding. A Seiko kinetic watch is perfect for anyone needing that constant availability without the worry of finding replacement batteries. Seiko Watches has created a diverse selection of styles in its kinetic watch model, often including a second hand, bezel, and calendar function. Models of the Seiko kinetic watch that combine with the functions of the chronograph watch described below offer a unique combination of quality, convenience, and accuracy.”
I LOVE these columns you do on calorie math. More times than not, I’ll opt for more TYPE of food in one sitting than anything. So if I can get more things to eat (bacon, toast, eggs, etc) over one thing (omeltt) i’ll choose the first option:)
