Bring water to a brisk boil in a large pot. Stir in grits quickly with wire whip. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 5-7 minutes or until thickened. Stir a small amount of cooked grits into eggs. Add to remainder of grits in pot, stirring constantly. Add cheese, margarine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and salt to grits. Cook over low heat until cheese is melted.
