Healthy breakfast recipes for weight loss: Eggs are your best friend

When looking for delicious and healthy breakfast recipes for weight loss, eggs truly are your best friend. Eggs are one of the most natural foods you can eat and also one of the best. A word of warning though: don’t believe the hype and nonsense that too many eggs are bad for you. This is simply not true. Eggs are full of protein and healthy fats. That’s right healthy fats; they are full of good cholesterol, the kind that can actually help you lose weight. Remember that when choosing which eggs to buy, always try to buy organic, free-range eggs. The hens are much happier hens than caged hens and the quality of the eggs really reflects this. If you can’t buy organic, at least try to buy free range produce. Here are two healthy breakfast recipes high in protein and healthy fats for weight loss.
