Turkey and Spinach Omelette

Omelettes can be a great low-calorie, nutrient-dense food option suitable for any meal.

This low-fat omelette is ideal for aggressive fat loss during a nutritious Protein-Sparing Modified fast-style diet.

We designed it to maximise satiety to help you eat fewer calories while still providing the nutrients you need despite being in an energy deficit. 

Most of the energy comes from ground turkey, an incredible source of lean protein. In addition, it provides plenty of vitamins A, B3, B5 and B6, along with essential minerals like copper, choline, selenium, and zinc.

Egg white provides additional protein, B2, selenium, and some sodium. Spinach looks after vitamins A, C, and K and other essential nutrients like folate, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium.

Tip: While the ingredients in this recipe are simple, the trick is to ensure you have a high-quality, non-stick pan so you don’t need to add too much fat.
