Notes

  • I'm using bread that is only 45 calories per slice. The macro-nutrients below will change if you use a higher calorie bread.
  • How to make hard boiled eggs: In a small pot, place water enough to cover the eggs (don't add the eggs yet), bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the eggs gently and cook for 15 minutes making sure the water is continue to boil slowly. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.
