I started working out this week... I am not, nor ever will be a big fan of the whole thing, but sometimes we just have to suck it up, and do what is good for us. When you're a single parent to a special needs child, the need to be there for them for the long haul is all the more apparent, and I feel like sort of a jerk for not trying harder sooner.
I figured I better make sure and have a good breakfast that included whole grains, relatively low fat and plenty of lean protein. , When I eat eggs, I generally stick mostly to the whites, but here the yolk added a bit of fat and moisture to the meal, as well as a few extra nutrients. If you want to skip the yolk, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the wheat berries & beans to make up for the loss.

So, there you have it. Whole eggs aren't so bad afterall. Quite the contrary, egg yolks are good for you and can actually improve cardiovascular health. Bare in mind, that one to two egg yolks in the day is okay so long as you have an overall low saturated fat diet. When preparing eggs, eat them boiled or if fried, use a light amount of olive oil instead of butter or margarine. While you're at it, throw in some onions, mushrooms, or any vegetable you want to make it even better for you.
