Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add half of the cayenne pepper (
teaspoon) to the crumbs and mix well. Place crumbs in one small dish and egg substitute in another.

Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the chicken. Then coat chicken on both sides—first with egg substitute and then with seasoned crumbs.

Place chicken on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Top chicken with a light mist of nonstick spray and then place in oven. Cook for 10 minutes.

Flip the chicken over and add another light mist of nonstick spray. Cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and coating looks crispy.

While the chicken is cooking, combine mayo, the remaining cayenne pepper, and the chili powder in a small bowl. Spread half of the mayo mixture on each half of the bun.

On the bun bottom, place chicken, tomato, and lettuce, and then top with the other half of the bun.

Would You Rather . . .

 

So you decide to do some late-night snacking . . . Well, that half-pint of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream likely contains at least 540 calories and 30 grams of fat. To work those calories off, you'd have to:
Vacuum vigorously for about 2 hours (without breaks!)
or
Hand wash and dry dishes nonstop for well over 3 hours
or
Make and unmake the bed repeatedly for more than 4 hours straight!

HG SHOCKER!

Think salads are a safe selection at the drive-thru? Guess again. Taco Bell's Fiesta Taco Salad, with 840 calories and 45 fat grams, is pretty much the worst thing on the menu! And just a serving of the honey mustard dressing
alone
at Burger King contains 270 calories and 23 grams of fat!
