Breakfast Burrito for those on the move

I eat a healthy breakfast burrito, made with 6 TBL of Egg-Beaters (equals two large eggs, with Mrs. Dash for taste): 45 calories, 0 fat, .9 mg cholesterol, .6 gr carbs. Compare that to 2 scrambled eggs: 252 calories, 27 fat gr, 774 mg cholesterol, 5 gr carbs. Use a low carb/low fat whole wheat tortilla, with 50 calories, 2 gr fat, 10 gr carbs, 7 gr fiber, compared with a whole wheat tortilla with 130 calories, 3 gr fat, 24 gr carbs, 4 gr fiber. Do the math, and feel great!
