Egg & Liver Slice

This unsuspecting-looking egg slice packs a hefty nutritional punch that makes it one of the most nutritious things you can consume per calorie.  You can cook up a batch for a meal and then have the rest on hand for a hunger-smashing, nutrient-dense snack at any time.

Reliable old eggs provide protein, choline, B2, B5, and selenium.  However, they are backed up by the liver, which provides a massive dose of vitamin A, folate, B12 and iron.  

Then, the veggies add bulk and vitamins C, D, K1 and potassium.
