Day 93 – Breakfast

P8010028As I mentioned yesterday, I was looking forward to getting a Breakfast Souffle from St. Louis Bread Company.  This morning, I made sure to get up early enough to be able to stop in on the way to work and pick up the breakfast I’d been wanting.   I decided on the Four Cheese Souffle as it was the 2nd least in calories.  (The lightest one was the Turkey Sausage and Potato, at 460 calories.)   I ordered it and a large coffee to go.

The souffle had been everything I wanted.   The best way i could describe it is a egg and cheese pie, with a croissant crust!   It was absolutely awesome, and well worth the calories for this morning.  I’d much rather have this than the garbage I picked up from QuickTrip the other day.   I’m going to not make it a habit, but I’ll look to add this to my breakfast one or twice a week.

Breakfast:
QTY Item Calories
1 Four Cheese Souffle 480
16oz Coffee w/ Sweet n Low 0
1/8 cup Skim Milk 10
Grand Total: 490

Also, I wanted too note that this morning I broke 290… coming in at 289.2 lbs! I’m really hoping to keep this level of progress up over the next week or so…

    Be careful with this as a regular breakfast. Calorie Count gave it an “F” nutrition grade – http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/120866.html. Although the number of calories is in a good range for you for breakfast, it has 30 total grams of fat (16 of which are saturated, which accounts for 80% of the daily value based on a 2000 calorie diet). It also has 150mg of cholesterol (which is 50% of the DV). It does have 16 grams of protein, which is good. But, at 470 calories, 16 grams isn’t huge. Plus, it only has 2 grams of fiber. And, it has 700mg of soduim (29% DV), which you mentioned wanting to cut down on.

    If your goal is to lose weight, you might want to reconsider this as a regular breakfast item. Perhaps you could save it as something for a special treat. Regardless what you decide, I’m hoping that this information will help you to fully understand the nutritional value of this item.
