Wednesday is now WEGGSDAY!
While we are all celebrating eggs on Wednesday now, let’s talk about why.
I love including eggs into my diet for many reasons but one of them is because eggs are a naturally nutrient rich choice providing a good or excellent source of 8 essential nutrients.
They are so versatile and can easily fit into healthy eating patterns.
Starting your Wednesday or any day of the week off with eggs is a good choice because eggs helps boost feelings of fulness!
