Low Calorie Bacon and Egg Scramble
This Low Calorie Bacon and Egg Scramble is just 317 calories and that is using the REAL BACON!! You can choose to swap it out for turkey bacon, but I find people are more eager to eat healthy when it tastes like the real deal!Special Tip: I used orange bell peppers to hide them, but any color will work.
