Start Your New Year Sunny Side Up with Ohio Eggs
As we welcome a new year and look forward to the possibilities ahead, many of us are setting New Year’s resolutions focused on health—whether it's adding more exercise to our routine or improving our eating habits. A simple and effective way to stay on track is by making sure your diet is rich in protein. Protein supports healthy weight management and muscle growth. The good news? You probably already have a perfect start in your kitchen—just grab a carton of eggs and let’s get cracking on a healthier lifestyle!
Eggs: Easy to Prepare & Easy to Love
Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality, affordable protein. Their versatility makes them a perfect addition to any meal of the day, whether it’s a scramble for breakfast, a hard-boiled egg for a midday snack, or something warm and hearty for lunch or dinner.
Research shows that consuming eggs in the morning can reduce caloric intake throughout the rest of the day, prevent snacking between meals and keep an appetite satisfied on those busy days when meals are delayed. Eggs will leave you feeling fuller longer than other breakfast foods, and one large egg contains essential nutrients and only 70 calories.
