Are people honestly getting that upset? If you know anything about healthy eating or are remotely interested in taking care of yourself you automatically buy the healthy substitute of everything at the grocer anyways(milk, cheese, eggs, corn tortilla= nonfat milk,high protein cheese, egg beaters, whoe wheat tortilla) so whether or not the author directs you to make substitutions shouldnt be that big of a deal.Anyone can figure as much. Give him/her a break... its an awesome and simple recipe. Dont criticise, just take the idea and improve on it if u feel u can. You can go both ways with this recipe,whether u feel like being a health nut or ur hungry for some taste every once in a blue moon!	4 weeks 10 hours ago
ya, this is a good recipe, i've been doing this forever and a day...however...corn tortillas...really? you want people to get even more corn in their diet as if America doesnt get enough corn in the first place? I'd say no corn tortillas, i always use whole wheat tortillas and REAL eggs for the NATURAL vitamin and mineral benefits they provide. If possible, make your own salsa too people, its not hard to do and you can easily make sure the ingredients are organic...all those preservatives, pesticides, growth hormones, and food dyes arent good for us at all. so, ya, make a few modifications, and you have an excellent recipe here.	4 weeks 12 hours ago
I make a great breakfast sandwich. whole wheat english muffin - toasted 2 oz egg substitute (guessing) chopped green bell pepper chopped vidalia onion 2 slices of lunchmeat turkey 1/2 slice american cheese 2 tsp salsa black pepper smart balance butter substitute HINT: every week i finely chop a vidalia onion and a green bell pepper, then dry on paper towels for 1/2 hr. then I put into separate plastic containers in the refrigerator so I can add to my cooking any time. ======= toast the english muffin, light smear of smart balance while warm. using small omelette pan, spray pan then brown the turkey and add black pepper to taste. it will take on a crispy bacon-like texture and place on 1/2 of the muffin. Cook egg substitute and add onions & peppers (1 tbl of each or more if you like.) melt the 1/2 slice of american cheese onto eggs, then add to sandwich. top with salsa. put other half of muffin on top. the whole thing comes out to approx 250 calories	4 weeks 13 hours ago
I rated this poorly because the nutrition info was WAY off. 2 Small corn tortillas can vary from 80 calories to 120 ... Most I checked did have 2 grams of fiber... No way this recipes has 17 grams of protein. My highest calculation was 15 using a very high protein cheese ... more realistic would be 13 grams of protein. The salsa is the healthiest ingredient in this recipe why limit it to 1 tablespoon? Your recipes look interesting but I really do not feel like taking the time to double check all your calculation... If you are going to offer this type of service.... DO it right... or not at all.	5 weeks 15 hours ago
More like 230 calories or more, with the dinky 60 calorie corn tortillas. Use the small 50 calorie low carb tortillas (2), and it comes in at about 210. Marochka, Austin, TX	8 weeks 2 days ago
What kind of Tortillas are used? I cant find any that are under 75 calories for 1, and that amounts to half the recipe alone. Alex Register, roanoke, VA	8 weeks 2 days ago

My comment is more of a question. At the top of the page, it said this recipe was high in fiber - and yet at the bottom where it listed its nutrients - it has zero grams of fiber? Which is it? But I do like all of the other suggestions. I will likely try a couple of them. :0) Sarah B, Spring Valley, WI	8 weeks 2 days ago
These are kind of on the bland side, but they are quick and I'm stuffed and ready for the day after having it. Jenn Morris, Seattle, WA	8 weeks 2 days ago
