Jump start your day with a perfect breakfast...or none!

Good morning Fitorriors ! The way we start every morning has a major impact on how productive and happy our whole day will be.

I'm going to give you two scenarios here (in terms of nutrition):

a) you wake up, dress for work and decide to have breakfast;

b) you wake up, dress for work and decide not to have an actual breakfast (or you don't have the time to do it).

The Perfect Breakfast

If I were to give you an example of an optimal breakfast menu, it would definitely contain eggs. You should eat eggs! Whether you decide to eat them in the morning, after you return from work, when you feed your dog or when you're watching Game of Thrones  - is totally up to you.

Starting your day with proteins however, has additional benefits.

Eggs: bring on the superfood (Decomposing Omegy)

Hello fitorriors!

I hope you're having an eggcellent day. If not, don't worry! I'm going to brighten it up with this article about eggs (egg puns included - don't you just love puns?).

There's a reason the egg is part of Omegy's name and appearance.

Egg facts and nutrition

I just want to say something before we begin. Eggs are one of the best foods you can eat. Just make sure they come from a good source (like pasture-raised free-range chickens). It's not a coincidence the title has the word "superfood" in it. While every food should be carefully considered to fit one's dietary needs, I consider the egg to be a necessary part of any healthy diet. 

Stop throwing away the yolk and start eating it
Although it has been demonized as an artery-clogging, cholesterol-ridden food, eggs are not the enemy of your heart. Quite the contrary.  

Eggs contain a lot of cholesterol compared to other foods (up to 200 mg of cholesterol). All that cholesterol is going to...do absolutely nothing to your blood cholesterol levels. And neither is all the fat (especially the saturated fat) going to affect your blood lipid levels. It's more complicated than eat cholesterol and/or fat - get atherosclerosis and/or fat.
