What's a lazy post-op fast-foodee supposed to do? Never fear-- I got your back!
Jupiter's QuikGriddle Sammiches!
Above: Maple QuikGriddle with FF Swiss and Canadian Bacon
You can make these with or without egg-- I like 'em both ways, but find the hammy cheesy version without egg makes a nice quick Monte Cristo style snack on the go!
First: Make my standard protein pancakes-- they are dense and stay thick and you can hold it like a sammich, and we add a couple things: (*This will make 4 pancakes---or TWO sammiches!)
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1/4 cup 0% greek yogurt
1/4 cup egg beaters
2 packets Splenda
dash of cinnamon
a few drops of maple extract
Insides:
2 slices canadian bacon
2 slices individually wrapped fat free swiss or cheddar
(add extra half cup egg beaters if you want to make ham, egg and cheese)
Put all the pancake ingredients in a bulllet blender and blend.
Spray your frying pan with Pam, and make 4 smallish pancakes. Cook on medium heat, and--- here's where the fun is. You can either eat 'em now, or make a big batch:
Let your pancakes cool completely. Put a slice of canadian bacon and a slice of cheese between two pancakes... and save the cheese wrapper! You can re-use the wrappers to separate them and stack 'em in a deli-type container in your freezer. WOOT! Microwave to warm 'em up and presto! "Stacks of snacks!" You can dip 'em in zero cal Walden Syrup, or just eat 'em as is!
If you prefer yours with egg, scramble 1/4 cup of egg beaters with a little water, and divide half onto each sammy.
But Jupiter? What about the numbers? Hang on cats and kittens, pictures first!
Now....THE NUMBERS!!!!! Per EACH sandwich!

Now, I prefer mine with sausage, but I'd never turn down one with bacon. 
Looking forward to making my own low-fat sausage when I can cook again. Surgery/high weight Current weight Goal weight

You and Nik are wearing me down... I almost made your Carb-quick Chicken Pot Pie... but I figure I'll save it for when it finally cools off down here.
