Over the last 30 days, as I’ve partnered with the American Egg Board, you have heard me talk a whole lot about eggs. I have shared some scrumptious recipes, all including eggs. I’ve kept track of the results from eating eggs every morning (in various forms). I’ve talked about buying eggs, storing eggs, preparing eggs, and even some tips to save time in the kitchen. I’ve explained the nutritional value of eggs, and other affordable and healthy foods. And, of course, I’ve shared some about grocery budgets and shopping with the kiddos.
Even though my breakfast challenge is coming to an end, I do hope that the tips and first-hand experiences I’ve shared have inspired you to include protein-rich foods as part of your breakfast. You truly will see many important benefits, like more energy, a desire to eat better throughout the day, and feeling full longer. All of these benefits provide more opportunities for you to have FUN with your kiddos!
Wouldn’t you agree that the egg is certainly all it’s cracked up to be?

My 30 days experiment is coming to an end. I am not, however, going to give up eating a protein-rich breakfast. I cannot tell you how much better I feel, how much more energetic I am throughout the day, and how my mood has been changed for the better, just because I made sure to include that egg in my breakfast menu.
What about the kiddos? Just like us, your kids need a protein-rich breakfast. Research shows that kids who eat breakfast do better in school, are more likely to participate in physical activities, and tend to eat healthier overall. So, tomorrow morning when you are making yourself that protein-rich breakfast, fill up your kids with a healthy breakfast!

I have become a believer in breakfast! Eating a protein-rich breakfast every day certainly has it’s benefits… More energy throughout the entire day!
I can tell you that when I don’t eat a breakfast that includes an egg (or two) I certainly do not feel the same. It truly is amazing to think that I can feel full longer and stay energized, just because I ate that egg every morning.
So many of you are sharing such great stories with me, about how eating breakfast is changing your life. I wanted to share what Amber said…
“So far I am really enjoying this challenge. Before we began I wasn’t eating breakfast at all, or rarely. It’s amazing that one little 70 calorie hard-cooked egg in the morning has actually made it easier for me to stay within my max. calorie range for my diet.
Before, my lunch would end up being higher calories to compensate, but that delicious bit of protein is helping me to level things out.
Last night I even had one as a before bed snack. I couldn’t wait until this morning for another yummy hard-cooked egg! 
Thanks for this challenge.”

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Yes, I know this to be true.
Aside from the known nutritional benefits of making eggs a part of a balanced breakfast, I am living proof that eating them for breakfast is the best way to insure a good day. After eating breakfast every day for the last eleven days, I have felt more energetic, sharp, and all around better.
Well…
I forgot to eat breakfast today!
In the busy rush of the morning, and trying to get ready to leave for the day, I forgot to eat breakfast. By the time I ran out the door, it was already too late to start the day off right with a healthy, protein-packed breakfast. I was tired, slow, and just all-around grumpy ALL DAY!
Could it be because I didn’t eat anything this morning? I would like to think so.
I can tell you one thing, for sure…
I will be eating breakfast tomorrow!
