Eggs with Tomatoes and Cheese

Eggs with Tomatoes and Cheese is a light and balanced breakfast to start the day!  Egg whites gently cooked with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese is a recipe from a great book I'd like to share with you.

 

I've been reading this fabulous book by Mark Macdonald called Body Confidence.  He actually "teaches" you how to eat for life.  Not just be on a yo-yo diet, which many of us have done over and over, but actually teaches you how to eat properly.  He reminds us that babies eat every three hours to stabilize their blood sugar. That is what keeps the weight off and hunger pangs away.

This book stresses to eat every three hours in order to stabilize our sugar.  I've made one of his suggestions for breakfast that is essential to what a person needs in one meal.  It is broken into specific protein, carb, and fats per meal.  I highly recommend this book Body Confidence as a way of eating for life.
