Breakfast is a hassle.
I want it to do one thing: provide nutrient-dense food and proper macronutrient ratios in the least time possible. It’s a functional meal.
The above is a video of the 3-minute high-protein and “slow-carb” breakfast that I find perfect for fat-loss and cognitive performance.
All ingredients were purchased at Safeway in less than five minutes, and if you dislike the whiteness of egg whites, just mix in some tumeric to create that familiar yellow. Flax meal instead of oil can also be mixed into either for a nice added nutty texture, and barring that, a handful of organic almonds with sea salt (also at Safeway) as a dessert adds a good caloric wallop.
[Postscript: I am replacing my plastic containers with Pyrex and glass! Several commenters have pointed out that toxins are released if you microwave certain types of plastic containers. Who knew trying to be healthy could be so dangerous?]

Odds and Ends: Answer “what is technology?” and get a MoGo mouse!
I met the CEO of Newton Peripherals, Matt Westover, on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, and it turns out we have friends in common. He was kind enough to offer 50 MoGo mice to readers of this blog, and their latest MoGo Mouse X54 recently won “Best of CES” from Bluetooth SIG. It stores and charges within your PC Card slot and also acts as a media remote. Cool.
Here’s how you get one (or another choice below).
Upload a video of no more than 20 seconds in length to YouTube or elsewhere answering the question “What is technology?”
Be one of the first 30 to link to your video from the comments on this post, and you get your choice of the MoGo X54 or MoGo BT. The remaining 20 mice are reserved for the first 20 people who link to a video of their kids, the younger the better and no older than 14, answering the same question.
So the first 30 adults and 20 kids I see linked to in the comments get them (not the first 30 comments but the first 30 links to videos, so there could be 100 comments and only 25 links, and double entries count as one link). Be sure to put “techdefinition” in the “tags” section when you upload your video.
One more thing: you’re not allowed to check the dictionary definition, and it will be obvious if you do.
This competition expires on 5pm PST this Sunday, March 2nd and winners will be contacted via e-mail.

Tim – Check out eWhey. It's organic/pasture-raised whey with probiotics, colostrum and digestive enzymes and tastes delicious, sweetened with low-glycemic coconut sugar. Far superior to the whey you're currently use.
Not sure if you're still monitoring comments, but thought I'd offer this. I own this frying pan, and it's one of my favourite possession in terms of how much more awesome it makes my life: http://www.amazon.ca/Paderno-30cm-Ceramic-Non-stick-Coating/dp/B0046EDCS8 It's so non-sticky that you can literally clean it off with paper towel when done. Sometimes I don't even clean it, I just put it back dirty and use it again later. No scraping. Sometimes it needs a bit of soap if I've grilled pork, but I usually still just put it away dirty and give it a 30s swish when I go to use it the next time. I've found microwaved-eggs-in-plastic to be much harder to clean than this.
This happens to millions of people all the time. Low carb dieting 6 pack abs plans focuses on eliminating carbohydrates from one's dietary habits since carbohydrates can really add weight to the people. She lost over 100 pounds by eating well and exercising.
That is absolutly disgusting
Is this meal 30 g of protein? My guess is closer to 15g. What do I need to eat to be slow carb any get to my 30g in 30 mins of walking up?
Why egg white? Why not just whip 3 eggs up and nuke those? Also I don't understand how cleaning a plastic container out is easier than rinsing off a cast iron pan Just my 2 cents. Just found out about slow carb and am giving it a shot since macro counting is too much of a pain
Glad to be back listening to your wonderful podcasts! When I saw you heating the plastic in the microwave, I thought it was a spoof video!! I reckon I could cook the eggs and spinach in a pan and wash them up in less time, though! Respect, Gordon.
