Eggs are delicious and versatile. Eggs are considered a breakfast staple as they are an excellent source of protein which is required for muscle synthesis. Protein takes a long time to digest and so keeps you satiated for longer. However, there are many ways to include them for lunch or dinner as well.
Include eggs in any of your meals and derive other essential nutrients along with protein. The yolk of the egg is a powerhouse of nutrients like B vitamins, choline, calcium, and folate. The yolk is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids that promote cognitive health.
