2. Eggs

Eggs are part of my daily food regime because they are a great source of lean protein and they also keep you full for longer. Inside the yolk of the egg is lecithin which is a metabolic booster. As long as you do not have high cholesterol you are fine to have the full egg with the yolk. So go ahead and fuel some lean protein into your body with an omelet breakfast today!
3. Oatmeal
