my p90x nutrition plan

Yay for cottage cheese! Once again, cottage cheese has swooped in to save one of our favorite, typically-cheese-laden dishes – the quiche. And it is now low-carb and P90x-friendly to boot! This came out really flavorful and tasty – my hubby thought it had the perfect amount of seasonings, and he usually adds salt to everything. Also, if you’re not a vegi fan (which I’m not) this is a nice way to hide a partial vegi serving in your breakfast – spinach cooks down and hides so nicely in there, and it doesn’t seem to change the flavor significantly.

Ingredients: 9 egg whites 4 1/2 oz. turkey ham 12 oz. low-fat cottage cheese 2 oz. shredded low-fat cheddar cheese 1 oz. grated Parmesan cheese 3 cups raw spinach 1/4 tsp garlic salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp onion powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dice turkey ham. Spray skillet with nonstick  cooking spray, and add spinach, cooking and stirring over Medium heat until wilted. Remove from skillet, and add diced ham, cooking and stirring until browned. Place spinach on paper towel and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. (I also cut the spinach up a bit more after cooking it so that the pieces aren’t too big.) Spray bottom of pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine egg whites, ham, spinach, cheeses, garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder, stirring until combined. Pour into pie plate. Bake for 35-40 minutes until eggs are set and a toothpick comes out clean.

P90x Nutrition Plan Servings:

1/3 of the pie plate is 1 protein serving, 1/2 vegi serving, 1 dairy serving, 1/2 Single snack serving.

P.S. If you want to get a full vegi serving out of this dish, add an additional 1 1/2 cups cooked mushrooms in there!
