This healthy egg dish is a great addition to your meal plan if you are looking for a delicious and satiating breakfast to start your morning on the right foot. Not only is egg a great base for your breakfast (particularly if you are looking to up your protein), but the other ingredients are similarly beneficial in speeding along your weight loss journey.
Dr. Oz says that mushrooms are a "delicious and filling addition to any meal." And that's not all. According to his website, they also "have nutrients that can help you lose weight, fight cancer, and boost your body’s immunity."
Spinach is another ingredient full of health benefits. Health.com explains, "In addition to its many vitamins and minerals, spinach provides antioxidants tied to anti-inflammation and disease protection."
Cottage cheese, another ingredient in this egg dish, is also a common diet-friendly food. According to Healthline, "Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and contains relatively few calories. It’s also packed with many nutrients, such as B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and selenium."
With this in mind, if you are looking for a simple breakfast that's easy to make (only 15 minutes of prep time!), this is a great option for you.
One serving contains 241 calories and 16 g of protein, meaning there's a good chance this egg dish will keep you full until lunch. Although you should check out the website for the recipe's more detailed nutrition information, it's definitely a good option to consider if you want a tasty breakfast (with plenty of leftovers) that will keep you on track for weight loss.
