Breakfast

I woke up expecting to have cereal like I did yesterday but realized that I left both the cereal and milk at the office. Ugh. So I improvised with an egg (over-easy), Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin toast (very freezer burnt), some turkey, and strawberries. I am happy to report that I did a much better job with cutting the strawberries. This time I used a cutting board rather than the "throw your hands in the air" method that I used last night. There was no blood shed.

I find that eggs get a bad wrap because of the high fat and cholesterol content. What we often lose sight of is the amount of nutrients found in the egg as a whole. For instance the yolk is full of lecithin, which is an important nutrient for memory (maybe I'll remember to grab that Kashi and milk tomorrow). So as long as you are only having 1-2, don't be afraid to eat the whole egg. If you are going to make a giant omelette, use 2 whole eggs and use only the egg whites for the remainder.
