Just like McDonald's Breakfast Burritos

[AmandaH]

Hi Everyone! I haven't been here long, but I've been enjoying the recipes. I thought I'd share my own favorite egg variation.

Please note that I'm making this for my whole family, but the leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days.

1 dozen eggs, beaten
1 lb. carb-free bulk breakfast sausage
One small can green chiles, chopped
Cheddar cheese...I used about 3 ounces, but you can play with it.

Brown the sausage, drain it and set it aside. Scramble the eggs. (I use the sausage pan.) Mix in half of the chopped green chiles (save the other half for next time) and the sausage when the eggs are about half cooked, but wait to add the cheese until it's very close to done, to avoid having it all stick to the pan. Mmm...yummy.

If you wanted to make it very McD's like, and you aren't on induction, like me, you could use a low-carb tortilla, put a slice of American cheese on it, then fill it with the scrambled egg mixture and roll it up. I think they also add some red pepper for color, but I can't taste it, so I didn't add any.

Enjoy :)

I LOVE BREAKFAST BURRITOS!!!

I just wanted to add a suggestion for anyone in a hurry and/or lazy (like me) who doesn't like to chop things up.

Rather than using the green chilis, I add about 2-3 Tablespoons (more or less to taste) of Pace Picante Salsa to the eggs. Add the salsa after the eggs are just about done, and heat just long enough to warm the salsa. The salsa has the green chilis in it and this way you aren't added chilled salsa to your warm burrito!

[STALLQUEEN]

low carb tortillias are allowed on induction.

[mind-full]

I'll try this for my husband -- he doesn't cook, but has ventured into making his own eggs cooked over-hard and even took a course on making deviled-eggs when I last made them.

I've figured that if I keep some shredded cheese available and reduce the number of ingredients in a recipe to manageable numbers (3 or less for his attention span :( in the kitchen) I can encourage him to make at least his own breakfast, if not anyone else's.

This sounds like something he would enjoy, and without the LC tortillas, as he avoids "extras" that boost carb counts needlessly. He began making wraps more than 10 years ago before they were "in", and used to be a carb-loader extraordinaire, so to forego a tortilla is a big deal.

Thanks the the recipe!

[thankful]

low carb tortillias are allowed on induction.

What page in the DANDR is that on please? :)

[wow]

low carb tortillias are allowed on induction.

I have not been able to find this information in the book. Is this trus?? Also where can I find low carb tortias and what is considered low cab??? How many carbs per serving

[JRichards]

Just to let you know: low carb tortillas are NOT allowed on Induction. Please refer to the allowable food list for induction.

[sltjonn]

Although low carb tortillas are not mentioned in DANDR (nor are pork rinds), the book may have been printed (2002) before the introduction of many of the new low carb choices. On the Atkins.com web page, there is a recipe for Ham-Cheese-Spinach Stromboli that uses low carb tortillas, and is approved for the Induction phase.

[cyndilindi]

I think she is right, low carb tortillas are ok for phase I, so is I slice of Low-Carb bread. When you look in his book for menu idea's he has it on induction.

[beejereeno]

There is a tortilia-like food that is acceptable on Atkins Induction phase, however the term used here is 'pancake' which, in the 1992 reprint of the popular 1970's DANDR, is used in the following context, taken directly from the book:

Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution - Page 306 - Part V, Section II - Typical Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Selctions, listed under 'Induction'.

Basic pancakes--This deserves specal mention. The erecipe will work as crepes, as well as pancakes and can be used as the basis for blintez, tacos, dessert crepe or pork or chicken mu shu. It is an enormously adabptable snack ingredient.

Then, the recipe itself shown on page 373:

1/2 C soya powder
3 eggs
1/2 C water
1/4 tsp salt
cooking oil

Combine first four ingredients in a blender.
Heat 8-inch omlet pan or skillet covered with oil. When oil is piping hot, add 3 T of batter. Spread evenly in pan. Saute quickly on side, then the other. Put pancake on platter and finish batter.

6 servings

Total = 12g
Per Serving = 2.0

Just a thought...for anyone interested in making their own LC bases for these burritos.

[MissScruff]

I researched Induction before beginning and torillas were not on the list. It said I could have certain veggies, certain cheeses, eggs, meat, butter, mayo, and certain oils. Exactly where on the Atkins site does it state that? You really can't go by the recipe selections because from what I understand some of those are shared by LCers and so when allowed is their opinion. Induction is meant to be pretty lean on choices. I can see adding the LC tortillas later, but not during Induction. If it were on the list then I would have definitely been having those because then I could have Quesadeas (I know, I need to learn how to spell)! What is the carb, calorie, fat, and protein stats on this item? And ingredients? I know, I can get all this from the store but I don't buy groceries until Friday evening! :yum:

[MissScruff]

The table didn't transfer well! But you get the idea!


Acceptable Foods
These are the foods you may eat liberally during Induction:



All fish,

All fowl,
including ...

All shellfish,
including ...

All meat,
including ...

All eggs,
including ...


tuna

chicken

oysters*

beef

scrambled


salmon

turkey

mussels*

pork

fried


sole

duck

lobster

lamb

poached


trout

goose

clams

bacon**

soft-boiled


flounder

Cornish hen

squid

veal

hard-boiled


sardines

quail

shrimp

ham**

deviled


herring

pheasant

crabmeat

venison

omelets


*Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs than other shellfish, so limit them to four ounces per day.

**Processed meats, such as ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, hot dogs and other luncheon meats—and some fish—may be cured with added sugar and will contribute carbs. Try to avoid meat and fish products cured with nitrates, which are known carcinogens. Also beware of products that are not exclusively meat, fish or fowl, such as imitation fish, meatloaf and breaded foods. Finally, do not consume more than four ounces of organ meats a day.


OTHER FOODS THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE DURING INDUCTION

Cheese
You can consume three to four ounces daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and semisoft aged cheeses*, including:

cheddar
cow, sheep and goat cheese
cream cheese
Gouda
mozzarella
Roquefort and other blue cheeses
Swiss

*All cheeses have some carbohydrate content. The quantity you eat should be governed by that knowledge. The rule of thumb is to count 1 ounce of cheese as equivalent to 1 gram of carbohydrate. Note that cottage cheese, farmer’s cheese and other fresh cheeses are not permitted during Induction. No "diet" cheese, cheese spreads or whey cheeses are permitted. Individuals with known yeast symptoms, dairy allergy or cheese intolerance must avoid cheese. Imitation cheese products are not allowed, except for soy or rice cheese—but check the carbohydrate content.

Vegetables
You can have two to three cups per day of:

alfalfa sprouts
daikon
mushrooms
arugula
endive
parsley
bok choy
escarole
peppers
celery
fennel
radicchio
chicory
jicama
radishes
chives
lettuce
romaine lettuce
cucumber
mâche
sorrel

These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber.

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini

If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.

Salad Garnishes

crumbled crisp bacon
grated cheese
minced hard-boiled egg
sautéed mushrooms
sour cream

Spices
All spices to taste, but make sure none contain added sugar.

Herbs

basil
garlic
rosemary
cayenne pepper
ginger
sage
cilantro
oregano
tarragon
dill
pepper
thyme

For salad dressing, use oil and vinegar (but not balsamic vinegar, which contains sugar) or lemon juice and herbs and spices. Prepared salad dressings without added sugar and no more than two carbs per tablespoon serving are also fine.

Acceptable Fats and Oils
Many fats, especially certain oils, are essential to good nutrition. Olive oil is particularly valuable. All other vegetable oils are allowed, the best being canola, walnut, soybean, grapeseed, sesame, sunflower and safflower oils, especially if they are labeled "cold-pressed" or "expeller-pressed." Do not cook polyunsaturated oils, such as corn, soybean and sunflower oil, at high temperatures or allow to brown or smoke.

Butter is allowed. Margarine should be avoided, not because of its carbohydrate content, but because it is usually made of trans fats (hydrogenated oils), which are a serious health hazard. (Some nonhydrogenated margarines are available in health-food stores.)

You don't have to remove the skin and fat from meat or fowl. Salmon and other cold-water fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Remember that trying to do a low-fat version of the Atkins Nutritional ApproachTM will interfere with fat burning and derail your weight loss.

Artificial Sweeteners
You must determine which artificial sweeteners agree with you, but the following are allowed: sucralose (marketed as Splenda™), saccharin, cyclamate and acesulfame-K. Natural sweeteners ending in the suffix "-ose," such as maltose, fructose, etc., should be avoided. However, certain sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, do not affect blood sugar and are acceptable.

Saccharin has been extensively studied, and harmful effects were produced in the lab when fed to rats only in extremely high doses. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed saccharin from its list of carcinogens, basing its decision upon a thorough review of the medical literature and the National Institute of Science’s statement that there is "no clear association between saccharin and human cancer." It can be safely consumed in moderation, meaning no more than three packets a day. Saccharin is marketed as Sweet'n Low™.

The Atkins preference, however, is sucralose (Splenda™), the only sweetener made from sugar. Sucralose is safe, noncaloric and does not raise blood sugar. It has been used in Canada for years, and the FDA recently approved it after reviewing more than 100 studies conducted over the past 20 years. Note that each packet of sugar substitute contains about 1 gram of carbohydrate, so don’t forget to include the amount in your daily totals.


Acceptable Beverages
Be sure to drink a minimum of eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day, including:

Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water

Additionally, you can have the following:

Clear broth/bouillon (not all brands; read the label)
Club soda
Cream, heavy or light (limit to two to three tablespoons a day; note carbohydrate content)
Decaffeinated coffee or tea*
Diet soda made with sucralose (Splenda™); be sure to count the carbs
Essence-flavored seltzer (must say "no calories")
Herb tea (without barley or any fruit sugar added)
Lemon juice or lime juice (note that each contains 2.8 grams carbohydrate per ounce); limit to two to three tablespoons

*Excessive caffeine may cause unstable blood sugar and should be avoided by those who suspect they are caffeine dependent. Everyone should try to avoid caffeine. Grain beverages (coffee substitutes) are not allowed. Alcoholic beverages are also not permitted during Induction; those low in carbohydrates are an option, in moderation, in later phases.

Special Category Foods
To add variety, each day you can also eat 10 to 20 olives, half a small avocado, an ounce of sour cream or three ounces of unsweetened heavy cream, as well as two to three tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice. But be aware that these foods occasionally slow down weight loss in some people, and may need to be avoided in the first two weeks. If you seem to be losing slowly, moderate your intake of these foods.

Convenience Foods
Although it is important that you eat primarily unprocessed foods, some controlled carb food products can come in handy when you are unable to find appropriate food, can’t take time for a meal or need a quick snack. More and more companies are creating healthy food products that can be eaten during the Induction phase of Atkins. Just remember two things:

Not all convenience food products are the same, so check labels and carbohydrate content. (See the Online Store for Atkins brand products.)
While any of these foods can make doing Atkins easier, don’t overdo it. Remember, you must always follow The Rules of Induction.

[MissScruff]

I know, you all have seen this before, but I felt as though I should be sharing this. I skimmed over and still didn't see the tortillas! If they are there then please show me because I would love to have them! :yum:


The Rules of Induction
This phase of the Atkins Nutritional Approach™ must be followed precisely to achieve success. If you do it at all incorrectly you may prevent weight loss and end up saying, "Here is another weight-loss plan that didn't work." Also, check out "Extra Cautions," below.

Memorize the following rules as though your life depends upon it. In fact, it does.

Eat either three regular-size meals a day or four or five smaller meals. Do not skip meals or go more than six waking hours without eating.
Eat liberally of combinations of fat and protein in the form of poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs and red meat, as well as pure, natural fat in the form of butter, mayonnaise, olive oil, safflower, sunflower and other vegetable oils (preferably expeller-pressed or cold-pressed).
Eat no more than 20 grams a day of carbohydrate, most of which must come in the form of salad greens and other vegetables. You can eat approximately three loosely packed cups of salad, or two cups of salad plus one cup of other vegetables (see Acceptable Foods).
Eat absolutely no fruit, bread, pasta, grains, starchy vegetables or dairy products other than cheese, cream or butter. Do not eat nuts or seeds in the first two weeks. Foods that combine protein and carbohydrates, such as chickpeas, kidney beans and other legumes, are not permitted at this time.
Eat nothing that isn't on the Acceptable Foods list. And that means absolutely nothing. Your "just this one taste won't hurt" rationalization is the kiss of failure during this phase of Atkins.
Adjust the quantity you eat to suit your appetite, especially as it decreases. When you're hungry, eat the amount that makes you feel satisfied, but not stuffed. When you're not hungry, eat a small controlled carbohydrate snack to accompany your nutritional supplements.
Don't assume any food is low in carbohydrate—instead, read labels. Check the carb count (it's on every package) or use a carbohydrate gram counter.
Eat out as often as you wish but be on guard for hidden carbs in gravies, sauces and dressings. Gravy is often made with flour or cornstarch, and sugar is sometimes an ingredient in salad dressing.
Use sucralose or saccharin as a sweetener. Be sure to count each packet of any of these as 1 gram of carbs.
Avoid coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Excessive caffeine has been shown to cause low blood sugar, which can make you crave sugar.
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day to hydrate your body, avoid constipation and flush out the by-products of burning fat.
If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.
At a minimum, take a good daily multivitamin with minerals, including potassium, magnesium and calcium, but without iron.

Extra Cautions

Stay away from diet products unless they specifically state "no carbohydrates." Most such foods are for low-fat diets, not controlled carbohydrate plans.
The words sugarless, sugar-free or "no sugar added" are not sufficient. The label must state the carbohydrate content; that's what you must go by.
Many products you do not normally think of as foods, such as chewing gum, breath mints, cough syrups and cough drops, are filled with sugar or other caloric sweeteners. They must be avoided.
Be wary of prepared salads at salad bars or deli counters. For example, cole slaw or even tuna-fish salad may have been prepared with sugar.

I should add that it is on this forum! :agree:
Sherrie's Savory Burger Bun

*Preheat the waffle iron

1 8oz Pkg cream cheese
3 eggs
3 tsp Splenda
1/2 cup Atkins Bake Mix
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp parsley flakes
1/4 cup buttermilk

Beat cream cheese with mixer until blended smooth, add the remaining ingredients. Spray pan with a light coat of olive oil flavored non stick spray and pour in pan about 1 tbps of mix. It will make a perfect round bun! You can freeze them and reheat them in the toaster! My hubby says this is the best bread yet.

It should come out to about 1 carb per bun!

That sounds absolutely yummy! Is this ok during Induction or is this something to add early in OWL or later? My poor grocery list just keeps getting longer! :wave:

[kiwigal]

Somebody else will no doubt have a different opinion, but i think this is fairly safe for induction..its super low carbs, the only dodgy thing would be the buttermilk, and i have replaced that with sourcream/heavy cream the last couple of times i made them..tastes great :yum:

[astrocreep]

MissScruff if you read Atkin's newer books, I believe I read it in Atkin's Essentials, it DOES include Atkins Tortillas and Bread.

I too miss mcdonald's breakfasts! I make my own mock bacon, egg, and cheese bisquit. I will post it in a new thread, so check it out!!!

[Kristine]

MissScruff if you read Atkin's newer books, I believe I read it in Atkin's Essentials, it DOES include Atkins Tortillas and Bread.

Yes, but the Essentials book was written by Atkins Nutritionals, not by Dr Atkins. AN happens to sell bread and tortillas. Hmmm... :thdown:

[atmasters]

Well any way a lot of people are a little worried about eating this on the inerduction phase. Can I make one suggestion maybe just waight intill you are done with interduction it is only two weeks most of you are already almost done the phase. I would not risk it. I think Dr Atkin wanted you to stick to that plan so your body would go threw a cemical change. That is why it is so stricked so maybe stick to the basics for 2 weeks. I on the other hand made it threw the interduction and am going to eat one of these as an award for doing it. One question any one know the carb count on one of these ??

[BlitzedAng]

Kristine...... You read my mind. I agree fully.

Angel

[KajunDC]

You can have 20 grams of carbs per day during induction. The average low carb tortilla goes for around 3 grams of carbs per. Therfore, you can have them during induction if you choose. Just make sure you do not go over the 20 grams a day.

The grams per day is the most important part... the types of foods are more suggestions than anything. You can lose weight just fine during induction with the low-carb tortillas.

[tommiec68]

Im sorry but I beg to differ with you KajunDC. Induction is MUCH more that staying under 20 grams of carbs a day. Those 20 carbs should be only from the allowed list. The purpose of induction is to break your eating/cravings and to switch your body from burning sugar to burning fat. I choose to loose healthier with whole foods from the induction list that Dr Atkins listed not the people who are running a business now, Atkins Nut. , If they did not add their products to the allowed list they couldnt sell them.

[KajunDC]

And tommie, you do all that by staying under the 20 grams of carbs.

Believe it or not but even Dr. Atkins changed his routine as he learned things along the way. The allowed food list is to give those that don't know what a carb is or where it comes from a list of foods to eat. It is not written in stone and is not the only things allowed.

If you stay under 20 grams of carbs a day during induction, it will work.

[tommiec68]

Oh boy then, Im gonna use my 20 grams on chocolate!!!!!

NOT

I guess we all have our own interpratation of how to do this woe.

I think it mostly boils down to finding what works for you weather someone else agrees with you or what you choose to do works for someone else.

2005 atkins induction

http://atkins.com/Archive/2004/12/28-312957.html

day 10 says low carb tortillas.

theres another thread on this forum somewhere that has an argument about this. some of the members feel that eating these low carb breads, tortillas, cake mixes, chocolate, etc. during induction will make it harder to get rid of your cravings for these kinds of foods. has anyone that actually ate these kinds of low carb foods that were once not allowed on induction still have successful results with the diet and minimizing cravings? wow run on sentence. 2:50am sorry. hope that made sense

[GccTxs]

Low Carb Tortillas are ABSOLUTLY ok for Inductions :agree:

and a Staple of my Eating habits :D

Guess I should have paid more attention to the Date of this post huh?

D'oh !!!

Nevermind :cool:

[Molls]

Ok y'all, I'm jumpin' in here with both feet, so please be nice to me...I'm a virgin !!!
This may not be the place for this post, but as long as we're talking carb amounts...
The book says 3 cups of salad veggies or 2 cups of salad veggies and 1 cup of other veggies a day.
This has been hard for me since I'm a real "other veggies" fan...I would rather have 2 cups of 'other veggies' and 1 cup of salad.
So on the Atkins site with the sample 2005 Induction meals, some days have LOTS of veggies, like this day for example:

Day 6 - Net Carbs - 18

Breakfast
4 - Garden Frittata
1 - 1/2 cup cucumber slices

Lunch
4 - Steak quesadilla: steak slices, one slice Monterey Jack and a low-carb tortilla
2 - 2 cups romaine with olive oil and vinegar

Dinner
0 - Grilled tuna with spice rub
2 - 1/2 cup zucchini and 1/2 cup mushrooms grilled on kebabs
4 - 2 cups arugula and endive salad with 1 tablespoon Atkins Quick Quisine™ “Sweet as Honey” Mustard Dressing

Snack
1 - 1/2 cup broccoli florets with lemon mayonnaise (combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice with mayonnaise)

By my count, that's 6 cups of veggies, not counting the veggies in the frittata......
What's up with that ??? :q:

[seesah]

I'd say personally I really try to follow the Induction phase with the DANDR way of it. But in that book it does say you may also include from time to time those Atkins Advantage Bars. I think it all has to do with the best choices of certain brands of low carb items, because they all are not the same. For instance I love :yum: the La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas & they have 2 different sizes, the regular size is 3 net carbs and the larger size is 5 net carbs, Most of the total carbs for the tortilla's end up being mostly fiber (which is a good thing!!!) :thup: I can understand if most of the total carbs were broken down in too many sug.alcohols or something of that sort, then I could see why the stalls & such.

So all in all, I don't personally use them during induction or "re-induction" :rolleyes: But, I don't really see why it'd be a problem really for Induction phase. Everyones body is different :D

[notskinny]

Although low carb tortillas are not mentioned in DANDR (nor are pork rinds), .
I'm sorry, pork rinds are not specifically mentioned but neither is venison or rabbit, but they're all MEAT, which is definitely allowed on induction.

:D

[kuukuu]

I've found low carb tortillas with only 4 carbs each. I use them as substitute for lasagna noodles in a low carb version of lasagna. Good stuff.

How many people have made these as tortillas?? i had a terrible time getting them off the paper in one piece! They just fell apart. What did i do wrong? i love being able to have wraps or quesadillas now and then, but i hate all the carbs even in the "low carb" tortillas.

Buttermilk what is it exactly? We have certain dairy products over here that may be similar in taste but a different name. We have something that's called Labnah and it tastes sooo much like sour cream. We also have Laban (also called lassi in certain countries) which is like liquid yoghaurt. Dunno the nutrition value though. So how can substitute buttermilk?

[Noura80]

There is a tortilia-like food that is acceptable on Atkins Induction phase, however the term used here is 'pancake' which, in the 1992 reprint of the popular 1970's DANDR, is used in the following context, taken directly from the book:

Did you try substituting the soy flour with atkins bake mix?

I agree, I eat the tortillas and still lose really good. everyone is different but as for me I won't deprive myself, as long as I keep seeing the numbers moving then all good lol. :yum:

[LattéLover]

Thanks KiwiGal, these recipes sound delicious! Coming from a non-baker, can I use carbquick instead of Atkins bake mix (just ordered it and haven't found the spot yet here with Atkins products (i know they're somewhere). Also is parchment paper, wax paper?

Thanks.
