Eggs can be a part of a nutritious meal no matter what time of day. They hold a shellful of nutrients and their long suspected "downsides" (cholesterol and fat) have been found to be good for you in smaller doses. The American Heart Association says that you can have an egg a day, and alternative sources recommend even more than that. A growing body of evidence demonstrates the limited role that dietary cholesterol plays in raising blood, or serum, cholesterol. So, eat up!

An average large egg provides bio-accessible protein, small to significant amounts of all needed vitamins, except vitamin C, and a wide variety of minerals for just 75 calories and 5 grams of fat, most of which is unsaturated. The egg is considered nutrient dense because it provides excellent protein and a wide range of vitamins and minerals in proportion to its small calorie count.

Best of all, eggs are easy and quick to prepare, packing a nutrient punch into a tasty and surprisingly low calorie meal. Today's busy lifestyles require convenience and versatility, and we've tried to provide both with the recipes we've supplied.
