Eggs are a breakfast staple packed with protein and nutrients, but some common mistakes can reduce their benefits or affect taste and digestion. Here’s what to watch out for:
1. Overcooking Eggs
Cooking eggs too long or at too high a heat can make them rubbery and tough, and may reduce nutrient availability. For best texture and nutrition, cook eggs gently—soft-boiled, poached, or lightly scrambled.
2. Skipping the Fat
Eggs need a bit of healthy fat for optimal nutrient absorption, especially for fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Avoid cooking eggs in non-stick spray only—use a small amount of olive oil, butter, or coconut oil instead.
3. Ignoring Food Pairings
Eggs digest best when paired with fiber-rich foods like whole grain toast, vegetables, or fruit. Avoid heavy starches or processed meats that can cause digestive discomfort or unbalanced blood sugar levels.
Bonus Tip:
If you’re sensitive to eggs, try adding herbs or spices like turmeric or black pepper to improve digestion and reduce potential inflammation.
Enjoy your eggs smarter and tastier every morning!
