Veggified Egg Salad

2 Hard-boiled eggs diced
1 mini cucumber diced
1/2 bell pepper diced (I used a mix of red and orange bell peppers)
1/2 Tablespoon mayo with olive oil (I've tried both Hellman's and Kraft, both are good)
1 Tablespoon dill relish (you could use sweet relish, I just like dill better)
11 Big Wheat Thins (or a serving size of regular wheat thins or triscuits) OR 1 Arnold Sandwich Thins Multi-Grain (or any other multi-grain or whole wheat bread)

Mix together eggs, cucumber, peppers, mayo and relish.  Enjoy either with crackers or on sandwich thin.
I've found that it's best to mix this together one serving at a time and eat either the same or next day.  If the egg salad sits for too long it becomes watery and gross because of the veggies. 

Game On Diet plan
Fist sized portion of fruit or carbohydrate = wheat thins OR sandwich thin
Palm sized portion of protein = egg whites
Thumb sized healthy fat = egg yolks (and olive oil in mayo)
Fist sized portions of vegetables = cucumber and bell pepper
