I was craving a doughnut like nobody's business this morning, but I persevered and made do with homemade French toast and an avocado. And lest you think "Wait, French toast is totally fattening," it isn't! It has the same calories as a slice of bread, a fried egg, a few tablespoons of milk, and a tablespoon of 100% pure maple syrup. A fried egg sandwich with a glass of orange juice would have had twice as much fat and three times as much sugar. And, surprisingly, a ripe avocado is a great pairing with French toast. The creaminess of the fruit is perfect with the crunchy outside of the bread, and really decreases the need for a lot of syrup. A decadent breakfast with plenty of good carbs and protein.

Drool. I could use a French toast at this moment, so hungry and the hotel breakfast isn't open yet!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no one we know was thinking about whether French toast was fattening, but it's nice of you to include nutritional information for the general reader.
what an interesting pairing. I will have to try sometime.
It's true. I try not to make friends with people who don't like French toast.
