How good are eggs post run!


I love a good egg! And I particularly love eggs as pictured for my post run recovery meal.


A good combo of...

✅ protein (eggs & baked beans) for muscle recovery & repair

✅ carbs (sourdough bread & baked beans) to replace muscle fuel

✅ and as always some vege (mushrooms, smashed avo & rocket)


The humble egg is packed with 11 different vitamins & nutrients, and are the perfect protein source as they contain all the essential amino acids that our bodies need.


They’re also a natural source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E & B12 as well as iron.


Despite many beliefs that eggs can raise blood cholesterol levels and have a detrimental effect on heart health, the research is quite the contrary.


Daily consumption of eggs has not been associated with increased risk of heart disease. It is far more important to eat a diet low in saturated fats for overall heart health ❤️
