I would think you could definitely work then into your diet, Hobber!

Oh and for pink swayers I have found that Calidad brand soft taco tortillas have only 130 cals and are not terrible for sodium.

Weight Watchers were the lowest in everything in the UK - Tesco Lighter Choices not too bad either!

Just wanted to say thanks again for the recommendation. I made this tonight and it was so yummy.

I just put egg whites and a piece of low sodium cheese in a corn tortilla. The tortilla had 110cal and 10mg sodium!

LE Dieters can also at a T or two of salsa to an egg white and cheese taco! only 20 cals and adds so much flavor.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you do with the egg white? :think: Fry it in some Spray Oil?

just scramble it in a tiny amount of unsalted butter or else canola. Good source of protein if you need it.

I use the pam spray. Really simple, quick spray. You can make them scambled or like an omlette and add a slice of low sodium cheese.

With Pam and otehr similar sprays, just be aware that you must spray exactly the amount as described on the label or it begins to load up on fat and calories. It says "0" on the label, but that's only for a small amount of spray - if you spray it longer, the fat and cals do start to add up. The government allows them to round down the fat/cals to zero, but they really DO have fat and calories in them and if you spray them longer than the label tells you to, the fat and cals start to amount to something.
