{Recipe} 3 Protein Filled Recipes Using Eggs
By Suzanne York
Eggs are pretty much the perfect food, they contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need. This all coming with only 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats!
Enough to encourage you to eat eggs as one of your protein sources?
This economical form of protein can be used several ways throughout the day to reach your protein goals (Hello portable hard boiled eggs!)and to balance your hormones to battle hunger to beat the afternoon cravings.
Unfortunately I am not one of the people who likes eggs so I had to learn to disguise it.
Instead of plain scrambled eggs spice them up a bit! The possibilities are endless.
