Here's To The Humble Egg!



23. Eating eggs.
 

Eggs are actually healthy, especially the egg whites, since it contains the protein called albumin. Eating an egg a day can boost your metabolism, aside from providing your body with quality protein. However, make sure not to exceed two eggs in a day, since the yolk is actually filled up with a lot of extra calories that you may not need.

Again, this is one of those topics that the media flip flops back and forth on. Some times eggs are good for us, sometimes not. I like eggs and I am going to continue to eat them. I don't eat as many as I used to eat, but I am not training as hard either so, again, moderation!




The same study also found that people who wish to make better food choices plan to do so by consuming fewer unhealthy foods, preparing more healthy dishes on their own and ...
