SWAP: EGG BEATERS
FOR: EGGS

The nutrition facts on a carton of Egg Beaters list no fat, no cholesterol, and less than half the calories of a large egg. But direct your eyes to the ingredients list - They add sugar and fillers, including gums and 'natural flavors,' for taste and texture consistency! They also fortify the formula since the nutrient-rich yolk is removed, but why go for something created in a lab when you can get the same nutrition naturally?  Not only do real eggs offer plenty of protein, their yolks contain carotenoids; vitamins A, D, E, and K; a host of B vitamins, and DHA (an essential omega 3 fatty acid), all important nutrients for your vision, heart, brain, and bones.  I still eat 1 or 2 organic eggs just about every day! 

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
