Full English Breakfast

Ok, so most people probably wouldn't expect a full English breakfast to feature in a weight-loss regime. However, not only can it be high in protein, when balanced with some fried mushrooms and tomatoes it can also be low in energy density. This recipe has kept to the tradition of being a "fry up" on the basis that it is eaten no more than once a week. If you intend eating this more regularly the fat content should be reduced by grilling the sausage, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes and scrambling or poaching the eggs. This will reduce the calorie content by around 130 calories.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the sausages and bacon as per their cooking instructions. Remove these from the pan and add the 2 eggs, mushrooms and two halves of the tomato. At the same time, cook the beans in a small saucepan over a low heat and toast the bread. Serve all the ingredients together on one plate.
