Eggs - the ultimate breakfast
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
I must admit I have always loved eggs. I loved them when they were bad for you and I love them even more now that they are good for you.
My sister takes hard-boiled eggs to work every morning. She boils enough for a couple of days and then, every morning, she puts a couple in her jacket pocket to eat later when she gets to work. Whatever works to get your breakfast in is fine, even if it means running around with eggs in your pocket. My only problem is I am not sure if my toast will fit in my other pocket! (just kidding)
I suppose it goes along the same lines as “walk every single day even if there is a tornado.” That is how important breakfast is to help us get in shape after 40. We must eat breakfast and we must start walking. Lose the excess weight and do this by starting at your own level and taking small steps. Walking is the first step to better fitness… breakfast is the first step to weight loss , but back to the egg.
Eggs contain all the vitamins we need except for vitamin c. Eggs are quick, cheap and the ultimate fast food. Egg protein is the best protein you can eat.
Studies now show that eggs are not really the cholesterol problem that was once thought. Saturated fat coming from animals & processed foods make up for most of our cholesterol problems, not the nutritious egg.
My favorite is Egg.land’s cage free brown eggs. It does not really matter if you eat brown or white eggs they both have the same nutritional value. The color of the hen determines the color of the eggs. I just feel that the cage free eggs are a much healthier choice, and for the extra money you can see a big difference in the quality of the egg.
Nutritious Weekend Eggs (Don’t put these in your pocket)
2 eggs.
1 (8 oz). can tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp. olive oil
½ tsp. basil
Parmesan cheese
Scramble 2 eggs ( in your little 6″ skillet.) Place the eggs on a plate and rinse the skillet. In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil till soft. Add tomato sauce and basil. Simmer for about 1 minute. Pour sauce over eggs and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese.
This is a great way to prepare eggs. Save half of the sauce and you can quickly heat up for another breakfast. More breakfast ideas to come.
