The Power of Omelettes

I am a HUGE fan of omelettes, and being a student they are perfect because they are cheap, easy, and delicious!

I like to experiment with omelettes by adding whatever I have in the fridge. I usually fry up some frozen chopped onion which is super cheap and can be used whenever. 

It's great to include greens in your omelettes because they are packed with vitamins, iron, and they also help to burn calories due to their thermogenic effect when being digested. I suggest sautéing either spinach or kale and throwing it in! 

For a bit of extra taste try adding some mozzarella or feta! 

Eggs Eggs Eggs... 

Eggs are sometimes seen as a bad food, but this is a serious misconception. Eggs are a great source of protein and contain numerous vitamins, including vitamin A, potassium and many B vitamins like folic acid, choline and biotin. Very few foods share the same diverse nutrients available in a single egg, and many of which are specifically needed for to help our nerves and brain. 

The body needs a balance when it comes to cholesterol, but  Fat from healthy sources (like eggs) is vital to our health, while fat from poor choices, such as margarine or foods fried in vegetable oil, can be very bad. Most nutrients, such as vitamin A, are absorbed with fat, so eggs are a great complete food source!
