Boiled Eggs

This simple low-carb staple can be used for a quick breakfast or snack when you’re on the go.  

Eggs are a fantastic source of bioavailable protein along with choline, vitamins B12, B2, B5, A, D and B6, along with phosphorus, iron and zinc.

With around 35% protein, whole eggs are a great option to boost satiety while still providing some energy from the fat to keep you fueled.
