We all have guilty pleasures… something we know isn’t good for us but we still indulge ourselves, only to feel icky later. When I was pregnant with my son, I have to admit that McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin with Egg was my guilty pleasure. I stopped nearly every morning to pick one of these heart-cloggers up! After giving birth I knew I couldn’t continue with this habit if I ever wanted to see my old clothes again.<\/div>\n

This little breakfast sandwich packs on a whopping 450 calories and 27 grams of\u00a0FAT!<\/div>\n
\u00a0(11 Points — Ouch!)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With the new sandwich I made, I cut the calories down to 279, with only 11.5 grams of fat! PLUS I was able to squeeze in 6 grams of FIBER!! (5.5 Points — Yippee!)<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0Here is how I did it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
You’ll need:<\/span><\/div>\n
One Egg<\/span><\/div>\n
‘Weight Watchers’ sliced cheese singles<\/span><\/div>\n
‘Jimmy Dean’ Turkey Sausage patties<\/span><\/div>\n
‘Western Bagels’ Alternative English Muffin<\/span><\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
(These are amazing!! You can find them at Wal Mart next to the cream cheese and refrigerated bagels!)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
Spray a small ramekin (about the size of your English muffin)<\/em> with Pam. Crack your egg into the bowl, (don’t stir it)<\/em>, cover with a paper towel and microwave for 50 seconds. Toast your muffin, microwave the turkey sausage, and put it all together!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now that is a breakfast sandwich to enjoy with out all the\u00a0guilt!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
