WHAT: Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles

STATS: Vary by flavor. The sausage version contains 200 calories and 24 fat, 2 carbohydrate, zero fiber, zero sugar and 22 protein grams. We bought it at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2510 Cantrell Road, Little Rock (sold in the refrigerated section, near breakfast meats). Visit jimmydean.com.

THE SKINNY: Scrambling up a breakfast of eggs isn't so simple on rushed weekday mornings.

But Jimmy Dean is making the process a bit easier with its Simple Scrambles. Each features a cup of eggs and a pouch of cheese and breakfast meat crumbles that can be microwaved in minutes.

They're not low-calorie or low-fat. But the high-protein, hearty breakfast cups, available in three flavors -- sausage, bacon and Meat Lovers with both meats -- are a convenient choice for the low-carbohydrate contingent.
