Breakfast can be quick and easy, but make sure to include two food groups and fiber and protein. Cereal, toast, eggs, yogurt and fruit are typical options, but healthy snack items can do double duty as breakfast foods, too. Eleenson's favorite go-to breakfast is a hard-boiled egg and a banana she can eat in the car on the way to work. Boiling the eggs Sunday night means a week's worth of breakfasts are ready to go.

Ask the diet doctor: Egg whites versus whole eggs
August 23, 2011
By Mike Roussell, PhD
Whole eggs have a long nutritional history of being good for you, then bad for you (during the low-cholesterol craze), and then good for you again. The main reason why eggs were placed in the "don't eat" basket several decades ago was due to their high cholesterol and fat content; a large egg has 200 mg of cholesterol and 6 grams of fat.

Add leftovers to eggs for a Spanish omelet
August 18, 2011
An omelet for supper is a perfect end-of-week meal when the refrigerator is bare. All you need are a few eggs and some leftovers. And though puffy French omelets are impressive, and those incredible breakfast hulks served in this country are awesome, I prefer a less ostentatious Spanish omelet. Even though it's called a Spanish tortilla, there's little resemblance to Mexico's flatbreads. Rather, it's a cousin of the Italian frittata. Made with potatoes, eggs and onions, it's an integral part of most tapas menus.

Back-to-school: Three healthy packed lunches for under $1

Hardboiled eggs, a great source of cheap protein, help offset the milk cost. Krieger also used a "buy one get one free deal" at Publix in order to get a deal on the bread for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Buy the Healthiest Eggs

To choose a healthier egg, look at what the hen was fed, new Israeli research suggests. Likewise, a 2008 experiment showed that eating eggs high in omega-3s caused 30 percent less cholesterol oxidation than eating eggs higher in omega-6s. (Though omega-6s aren't necessarily bad, Americans tend to eat too many omega-6s and not enough omega-3s.) So, how do you decode the labels on the carton to pick the healthiest egg? Here's your guide.

(Wrap it in foil to keep warm.) Make it on a small bagel, English muffin, croissant, their favorite bread or even a pita. Between the slices, layer scrambled eggs ("scramble" them so they'll cook in a sheet, like an omelet), shredded or sliced cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon. Or regular bacon. Or turkey bacon. Or sausage.

Versatile eggs to the rescue, save time and money

I love eggs. I really really do. I eat them almost every day and on weekends I love to experiment with them. They are usually my go to protein boost every morning after my workouts. Eggs are a great source of protein but they also have wonderful other nutrients and benefits as well. Eggs contain a cartenoid content, specifically lutein that is beneficial to the eyes. They also contain a high quality of protein and 9 essential amino acids. The egg yolk has choline which is an important nutrient that helps to regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular systems.

Eggs have gotten a bad rap with the word being that they contribute to high cholesterol. In fact recent studies show that moderate consumption of eggs (2 per day) have no negative effect on cholesterol. It is saturated fat that raises bad cholesterol. Eggs are a good source of low-cost, low calorie, high-quality protein, providing 5.5 grams of protein (11.1% of the daily value for protein) in one egg at only 68 calories. Eggs are a good source of lutein which is shown to prevent macular degeneration an cataracts. Additionally, eggs are an excellent source of choline.

Yes, eggs contain saturated fats, which our bodies need, so we need to pull away from demonizing eggs as bad cholesterol. The scientific evidence just doesn't support this. Besides, eggs can be relatively inexpensive and very filling.

I use sausage because there are lots of Brokerings at the table and they like meat, but it is not necessary.
