So what about eggs? Are they good for you?
Here is what I have learned about eggs over the past few years as I have gone strictly vegan for over a year, been vegetarian, pescatarian, all of the things. Number one lesson learned: eliminating entire food groups from my diet did not work for my body.
Eggs are a great source of protein, very versatile and are vegetarian and gluten-free which is a bonus. They contain mostly protein and good fat and can be used in so many, many ways.
Check out this cool article I found about the benefits of eating eggs.
So, yes, in my opinion, eggs are good for you and they are delicious and versatile and full of key nutrition our bodies need.
