Low Calorie Vegetable Frittata image

From Self Magazine! This stays great in the fridge and can be reheated for a healthy and quick breakfast all week long. Self says that eggs can help you drop pounds by revving your calorie burn and curbing cravings. (If you aren't a huge kale fan, even though it is great for you, just sub fresh spinach.)
