Eggs are loved by many, especially gym-goers, because they are packed with protein and essential nutrients like phosphorus, folate, selenium, vitamins A, B2, B5, B6, D, and E, along with calcium and zinc. You can enjoy eggs in many ways beyond just boiled or omelets. Here are some tasty and healthy egg recipes you can try:
1. Boiled Egg
The healthiest and simplest way to eat eggs. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Since it requires no oil or butter, it’s low in calories.
Tip: Make a sandwich with boiled eggs and fresh vegetables like cucumber or lettuce for extra flavor and nutrition. Boiled eggs keep you full longer and help build muscle.
2. Vegetable Omelette
A favorite for many, but try adding chopped vegetables like tomatoes, onions, capsicum, and spinach to increase vitamins and fiber.
Use a small amount of olive oil or ghee to cook for a tasty, nutritious meal.
3. Egg Salad
Chop boiled eggs into small pieces and mix with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Add a pinch of black salt and black pepper to taste. This salad is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals — great for those aiming to lose weight or eat light.
