Question of the day: are you the type that goes for sweet or a savory breakfast?
I may be in the minority, but I 100% have more of a savory palette. It can be hard when you scroll through Instagram every morning and see overly decorated bowls of oatmeal or pancake stacks – the media likes to play mind games on us! Social media is always such a beautiful and disastrous place – highlighting healthy food, but also over-glorifying it as well. While there’s nothing wrong with a wholesome bowl of oatmeal or homemade pancakes (or satisfying a sweet tooth in the morning), there are so many benefits to eating a savory breakfast.
Enter one of our favorite proteins, the lovable egg.
While our body needs carbohydrates to survive and function (Oprah..I love bread too!), you may find that eating just a bit more protein might help you curb your sugar cravings later in the day. Obviously we’re not stopping at just breakfast – eggs are great for anytime of the day (last night I ate eggs for dinner..and again the night before! #gradschoolprobs) With 6 grams of high-quality protein and 13 essential vitamins and minerals, it’s no wonder a staple in most kitchens around the world (Source: The American Egg Board).
A recent study from the Journal of Nutrition showed that the consumption of whole cooked eggs with a meal that contains foods with Vitamin E (such as mixed vegetable salad) increased absorption of vitamin E.
