Short and sweet this morning....
Love your morning eggs? I like to eat eggs a few times a week. They always tide me over till lunch without that feeling of starvation that can occur if I have a low in protein breakfast. Eggs have a great mix of protein and fat to fuel you up without weighing you down. Here's a small breakdown of an egg.
Whole egg White Yolk
Energy calories 72 17 55
Protein grams 6.3 3.6 2.7
Carbohydrate grams 0.4 0.2 0.6
Total Fat grams 4.8 0 4.5
Lately, I scramble one whole egg and two whites, keeping it lean, in a small amount of coconut or olive oil. This gives me a total of 106 calories 13.5 grams of protein and only 4.8 grams of fat (does not include oil). I also add some steamed spinach- an easy way to steam spinach is micro for 30 seconds or sautee in your pan before the eggs- and salsa to get my veggies in and keeping it green! How do you like your eggs? How do you keep it lean and green? What's your favorite-tide you over till lunch-breakfast?
