FitAzi Tip
Eggs are superfoods. FitAzi includes them almost daily - 2-3 whole eggs are perfect for breakfast. Cook eggs over low heat or in water (soft-boiled, poached) to maximize protein bioavailability and protect heat-sensitive nutrients in the yolk. Combined with vegetables and a slice of whole-grain bread, they form a complete nutritious breakfast.
