Not Only Delicious, But Also Nutritious Because:
• Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein, along with being a good source of B2, selenium, vitamin D, B6 and B12. They are regarded a ‘complete’ source of protein as they contain all nine essential amino acids; the ones we cannot synthesise in our bodies and must obtain from our diet.
• Eggs are filling and when enjoyed for breakfast may help with weight management, as their high protein content helps us to feel fuller for longer.
Tip:
• Not feeling very hungry, drop the toast for a lighter breakfast.
