Fat burning? You bet…

Some people think that because eggs contain fat and are ‘high’ in cholesterol, they cannot be a fat burning food. Well I beg to differ.

Fist up, the dietary cholesterol found in an egg has little or no affect on blood cholesterol (this is the kind your doctor wants you to keep as low as possible).  Processed, modified dietary fats are the real bad guys when it comes to increasing blood cholesterol, which brings me on to my next point…

Free-range organic eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants (such as Lutein), essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K. Not the processed fats you would find in a vat of vegetable oil for example. Unlike the veggie oil, fats found in free-range eggs actually encourage fat burning not fat storage.

N.B. The egg whites are an amazing source of protein, but all of the extra health benefits described above are actually found in the yolk. The yolk is the most nutritional part of the egg so it is important you eat whole eggs.

The Recipe

The thing I love most about my fat burning breakfast omelette (apart from the fat burning power) is that it is so versatile. You can add literally any combination of fresh veg and lean meat imaginable.

The omelette mix:
2/3 whole, free-range, organic eggs
a dash of skimmed milk (to taste)
ground black pepper (to taste)
ground chili flakes (optional)

The filling:
1 quarter fresh, sliced pepper
1 half (cooked) free-range chicken breast
(any combo of fresh veg and lean meat e.g. mushrooms, onion, tuna etc)

To cook:
Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a pan
Mix together the omelette mix and filling and pour onto the hot pan
Cook over a medium/ low heat until solid (5-15 mins depending on heat and consistency of mixture)
Finish under grill if slightly runny on top
Add extra seasoning if required and serve
Enjoy with a class of water or mug of green tea

Here’s Mine:

I’m not great with presentation, and I deliberately took this pic before turning it out of the pan (it always breaks), but you get the idea.  Have fun….
