Enough of the discrimination guys.... eggs are a nutritious food filled with healthy fats, antioxidants and vitamins like choline (particularly important for brain function!)... they deserve to be eaten at ANY meal. They can do more than just breakfast! 

Eggs are interesting. If they work for you, they're an absolute superfood! If they don't, they could be really detrimental. Eggs are a really common sensitivity affecting about 2-3% of the population. For my AI clients, it is the egg whites that often cause the problem due to a difficult protein called lysozyme that can burrow through the gut lining and carry pathogens through the bloodstream (yea... yikes!). So, do be weary if you have any digestive distress or autoimmune symptoms - they may correlate to eggs.

For everyone else, ENJOY THEM! ANY MEAL! ANY WAY! ANY TIME! But please, please, please, if you're still someone eating egg white omelettes, read carefully. Egg whites contain almost nothing but protein, meaning all that HEALTHY fat and the ESSENTIAL vitamins and minerals are IN THE YOLK. Please include it. You're cheating yourself if you don't. Fat does not make you fat, sugar makes you fat. And you're more likely to crave sugar throughout the day if you're not getting enough nutrients because you took them all out of your egg!!!!!

From the keto perspective, which I'm currently playing with, eggs are a fantastic protein choice. Not too too much protein, lots of healthy fats and virtually no carbohydrates. They serve as a great keto snack or, as i said, breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

I had this beautiful skillet for dinner. It felt like a sneaky treat to have eggs at night! Try it out! Live a little!

I like to add a little hot sauce when I'm feeling sassy ;) enjoy folks!
