Eggs For Energetic People

Eggs = Protein

With 6 grams of the highest quality protein and nutrients,


eggs provide the energy that is needed. They are the natural
choice for an active lifestyle. Eggs are one of the few foods
considered to be important because they also contain all 9
essential amino acids. These amino acids are the building
blocks for the body as they help to form proteins.

In addition to giving you energy, your body also uses the


protein that are found in eggs to:

Build and repair body tissue and cells


Grow strong hair and nails
Build and maintain healthy muscles
They also help fight infections
Helps to keep your body fluids in balance.

To maintain a healthy, balanced diet, The Canadas Food


Guide, recommends the guide servings of meat and
alternative every day, depending on age and should include
a variety of protein sources, including meats, poultry and
fish.

Eggs = Protein = Lasting Energy

Protein tends to keep you feeling full, longer.


Why?

Because protein helps your body to control the rate at


which the energy in food (calories) is absorbed in your
body. This means including a good source of protein in
your breakfast, such as eggs, can give you the energy to
stay active and focused longer.

Making sure that you get a wide variety of nutrients at


breakfast is really important. This meal gives you the
energy that you need to kick-start your day. But lets not
forget about lunch and dinner, which is also very important,
these ensure you maintain constant energy all day long.

The food that we eat provides us with the energy that we


need to fuel your daily activities, which means, you should
aim to eat at regular intervals during the day.
Healthy Eating Habits

For you to have enough energy to fuel your day it is


important that you eat balanced meals, including healthy
snacks in between.

BREAKFAST:
This is the most important meal of the day. A healthy
breakfast will give your body that you need to start the day
off right. A nutritious and balanced breakfast should be a
source of protein, like eggs. Protein helps to control the rate
at which food is absorbed.

When you wake up, your body is low on energy because it


never stops working while youre sleeping, pumping your
heart, breathing and helping you to rejuvenate. First thing
in the morning, you need to provide your body with food it
needs most.

Benefits:
Including high-quality protein, such as eggs, at breakfast
will provide you with the energy needed to stay active
longer.

One recent study showed that eating a healthy, well-


balanced breakfast can:
Improve Overall Nutrition - Eating breakfast in the
morning can help you attain your nutrient intake
requirements.
Improve Control Over Body Weight - Many studies have
demonstrated that there is a link between breakfast intake
and weight control. In fact, a breakfast protein, such as
eggs, is very beneficial. The lasting energy from protein
can make you feel fuller, longer. This can help to stop
mid-morning cravings, and reaching for sugary and high-
fat snacks before lunch time.
Improve Concentration - Children who eat a healthy
breakfast in the morning have an increased level of
concentration and attention span which can also
contribute to:
1. Better math and reading skills
2. Improved classroom behavior and attendance
3. Better test scores.

LUNCH:

Lunch is essential to help you maintain your energy


throughout the day. Or used the energy from breakfast, it
needs to be refueled with a healthy lunch to be alert and
active in the afternoon.

DINNER:

After a full day of work and/or school activities, your body


needs to rejuvenate with a well-balanced dinner.
Eat early - Try to eat dinner in the early evening. This
will give you time to make use of the energy that your
dinner has provided. Eating too close to bedtime will
make you feel uncomfortable and restless.
Dont skip dinner - While you might not need much
energy at night it is very important that you eat dinner. A
healthy dinner will help you obtain the essentials that
you didnt get during the day, and help your body
perform all the functions to keep working while you are
asleep.
For those of you that have a sweet tooth - Yes, desserts
can be in your lifestyle. Opt for fresh or canned fruits,
yogurt, frozen yogurt or low-fat cookies to satisfy your
sweet cravings.

Regular eating patterns and physical activity will help you


maintain your weight and dont make it a habit to miss
meals, your metabolism slows down to compensate the
amount of calories that you are feeding your body. By
skipping a meal you will be even more tired, stressed and
unable to concentrate.
Energy Tips

Are you a person who is always reaching for that double


chocolate are in the middle of the afternoon needing
yourself to boost your energy and to help you to wake-up.
Youre not going at it the right way. You are worsening the
situation, instead of fixing it. Here below are a few ideas
that might help you:

A) Healthy Snacks:
If you start to feel tired between meals, you might need a
healthy snack to boost your energy. Quick and nutritious
snacks include:
Hard-cooked eggs - These can be made and stored, in the
refrigerator, or in their shell. These are perfect for a
quick snack on the go or at work.
Dried fruits and nuts (such as Almonds, peanuts, and
walnuts) - in addition to sources of protein, nuts also
help to reduce your chances of high cholesterol disease,
when eaten in moderation.
Fresh fruits and yogurt, or vegetable sticks and dip -
Choose a variety of veggies to ensure youre getting a
wide range of vitamins and minerals.
Water - Are you really hungry, or are you simply
dehydrated? Before reaching for that snack, drink a glass
of water. Dehydration can often be confused with
hunger. Always keep a cold glass of water handy.

B) Physical Activity:
While its vital that you feed your body the vitamins,
minerals and nutrients that you need all day. Dont forget
that you need to exercise also. There are many books on
eating habits and regular physical activities:

Better health
Better self-esteem
Stronger muscles and bones
Better weight control
Look, feel and perform better
Higher energy levels
Lower risks of disease
Better stress management

Whatever it is that makes you happy and get your heart rate
pumping is great. Start making some healthier choices in
your every day activities. Find ways to increase your
exercise level so you dont strain yourself.
What Is In An Egg?

Eggs are one of natures most nutritious foods. A large egg


contains only 70 calories and an incredible amounts of
nutrients. Include eggs as part of your healthy diet and let
the facts speak for themselves!

What The Vitamins And Minerals


Can Do For You

Nutrients Benefits

Vitamin A - Helps maintain healthy skin and eye


tissue, plus assists in night vision.

Calcium and Vitamin B - Helps keep bones healthy and


teeth strong.

Riboflavin - Helps keep body tissue healthy.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12 - Helps protect against heart disease.

Vitamin D

Iron - Carries oxygen to the cells and keeps blood healthy.

Vitamin E - Acts as an antioxidant that protects cells


against some cancers and also particularly protects Vitamin
A and C.

Phosphorus

Niacin - Promotes normal nerve functions and helps release


energy.

Folate - Helps produce and maintain new cells, especially


red blood cells.

Zinc - Helps to maintain a strong immune system.

There are also other nutrients in eggs:

Lutein and Zeaxanthin

Lutein and zeaxanthin are important for maintaining good


vision. Studies have shown that antioxidants help prevent
Age-related Macular Degeneration or (AMD) which is the
leading cause for people over 65, and helps to decrease the
risk of cataracts.
According to the American Heart Association, Lutein also
protects against heart disease.

Choline

Recognized as an essential nutrient by Health Canada,


Choline has been shown to play a role in brain development
and function. One egg provides half the daily requirements.

Eggs are a source of high quality-protein


Protein is essential for building and repairing body tissue.
Muscles and organs, some antibodies, enzymes, and
hormones are all made of these proteins.

Protein is composed of 20 different amino acids. There are


9 essential amino acids that the body cannot make, and so
they must come from different foods.
Nutrition Research

Eggs For Breakfast Could Help In


Weight Control - January 2006

Eating eggs for breakfast instead of a bagel can reduce


hunger and caloric intake both at lunchtime and over the
next 24 hours, according to a new study that was published
in the latest issue of the Journal of the American College of
Nutrition. Twenty-eight overweight individuals were
randomly assigned to eat a bagel-based breakfast or egg-
based breakfast, both containing the same amount of
calories. The researchers found that those who had
consumed the egg breakfast ate on average 163 fewer
calories for lunch the same day and about 418 fewer
calories over a 24-hour period, than those who ate the bagel
breakfast. The researchers noted that perhaps this is due to
the Filling sensation that the eggs have provided. The
result of this study have potentially significant implications,
since eggs are an integral part of breakfast in numerous
cultures and now may be useful in reducing energy intake
and promoting weight management.
The Facts On Egg Allergy

What causes an egg allergy?

An allergy is generally caused by a protein found in a food


that causes an abnormal reaction in a persons immune
system. Two factors are necessary for a food allergy to
occur are genetic predisposition and exposure to the food.
The reaction varies from mild to life-threatening,
depending on the person and the amounts of egg consumed.

An egg allergy usually occurs during the first year of life -


when eggs are first introduced to a babys diet.

Introducing eggs to a babys diet.

If there is no family history of any food allergies, introduce


cooked egg yolk 8 months of age and cooked egg whites at
about 12 months. Start with 1 small spoon of egg yolk per
day, and increase slowly to 3 egg yolks per week. Babys
first birthday, time to try a whole egg.
If a breast-fed baby is found to be allergic to eggs, the
mother may be advised not to eat eggs until the
breastfeeding ends.

Duration of an egg allergy

This is one of a few allergies that can last a lifetime.


Fortunately, most can have their egg allergy by 5 to 7 years
of age. However, if it is severe, you can check with an
allergist and he/she may suggest a gradual increase in the
consumption of foods leading up to the whole egg.
However you must check with an allergist on this.

If your child has been diagnosed with an egg allergy, the


only treatment is to avoid eggs completely. This includes
foods and other products that contain eggs, as well as foods
that they may have come in contact with eggs.
Eggs Handling At Home

How To Determine Freshness:

A fresh egg will sink in water, while an older egg will


float. As an egg ages, the size of the air cell inside
increases, which causes the egg to float.
In a fresh egg, the yolk sits up high and the white is thick
and closely surrounding the yolk. An older egg has a flat
yolk that breaks easily, and a thin, watery white.
How do you tell the difference between soft egg and a
hard-cooked egg? Spin it. A hard-cooked spins longer
because the liquid in the center stops it from building up
enough momentum turning.
A cloudy egg white is a sign of freshness because of the
high carbon dioxide content in the egg is laid.
How To Store Eggs

Eggs should be stored in an egg carton. The carton


protects the eggs and prevents them from absorbing
strong odors and flavours of other foods through the
thousands of tiny pores that are in the shell.
Keeping eggs in their carton also means the Best Before
date is visible.
Eggs should not be stored on the refrigerator doors, but
in the main box in the refrigerator to ensure that they
keep a constant and cooler temperature.
Leftover raw egg whites and yolks should be in an
airtight containers and stored in the refrigerator
immediately. To prevent yolks from drying out, rinse
with cold water. Drain the water.
When storing hard-cooked eggs, you may small a
gassy odour in your refrigerator. The odour is caused
by hydrogen sulphide, which forms when the egg is
cooked. It is harmless and usually dissipates in an hour.
How long do refrigerated eggs last? Federally graded
fresh eggs in their shell are safe for three (3) to five (5)
weeks after the expiration date on the carton: raw yolks
and whites, for two (2) to four (4) days; hard-cooked
eggs, for one (1) week. Try to keep the refrigerator
temperature lower than 38 degree F.
How To Freeze Eggs

Eggs can be frozen, but not in their shells. Thaw frozen


eggs overnight in the refrigerator or under running cold
water. Use egg or whole eggs as soon as they are thawed.
Here is how to freeze your eggs:

Whole eggs: Beat just until blended, pour into freezer


containers, seal tightly, label with the number of eggs
and date, and freeze.
Whites: Break and separate the eggs one at a time,
making sure that nothing gets into the whites. Pour them
into freezer containers, seal tightly, label number of egg
whites and date, and freeze. For faster thawing and for
easy measuring, first freeze each white in an ice cube
tray and then transfer them to containers.
Yolks: Egg yolks require special treatment. The gelatine
property of yoke thicken or gel when frozen. If frozen
as-is, egg yolks eventually become gelatinous it is almost
impossible to use in a recipe. To help retard this gel in
either 1/8th. Teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoons of sugar.
Label the container with the number of yolks and date.
Hard-cooked: Hard cooked yolks can be frozen to be
used tatter for topping or garnishes. Carefully place the
yolks in a single layer in a saucepan and add water to
come at least 1 inch above the yolks. Cover and quickly
bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand, covered,
in the hot water about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted
spoon, drain well and package for freezing. Hard-boiled
whole eggs and whites become tough and watery when
frozen. So dont freeze them.

How To Use Frozen Eggs

Substitute 2 tbsps thawed egg whites for 1 large fresh


white.
Substitute 1 tbsp thawed egg yolk for 1 large fresh yolk.
Substitute 3 tbsps thawed whole egg for 1 large fresh
egg.

Cooking With Eggs

Serve eggs and egg riched foods immediately after


cooking or refrigerate and use within three to four days.
If a recipe calls for eggs at room temperature, immerse
them in warm water for a few minutes.
To prevent toughness, always use moderate heat and
controlled cooking times for eggs.
Do not eat cracked eggs or eggs that have been out of the
refrigerator for more than two hours.
A greenish ring around a hard-cooked egg yolk is due to
overcooking, or because of a high iron content in the
cooking water. This can be avoided by using proper time
and temperature, and by rapid cooling the cooked eggs.
Use very fresh eggs to prepare poached eggs with a
compact oval shall.
Cook scrambled eggs over medium-low heat for fluffy,
thick eggs.
Add water to omelettes instead of milk. The water will
turn to steam and will give you a light, airy omelette.
Use a glass or metal bowl instead of a plastic bowl for
meringue. This will prevent foaming.
Sometimes a large batch of scrambled eggs may turn
green. Although the color change is harmless. It is due to
a chemical change brought on and occurs when eggs are
cooked at high temperature or held for too long. Using
stainless steel equipment and low cooking temperature,
will stop this problem, but cooking in batches and
serving as soon as possible after cooking will also stop
this problem.
The egg yolk and white separate best when they are cold.
Egg whites will beat to a better volume if they are
allowed to stand at room temperature for about 20 to 30
minutes before beating.
Unless otherwise specified, most recipes are written
using large eggs. Egg = cup or 4 tablespoons or 50
ml.

Nutrition Tips

Yolks and egg whites: What a pair!

Together, the egg yolk and the egg white make a nutrient-
rich food. The egg yoke has many essential nutrients which
include:

Phosphorus
Iron
Zinc
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Vitamin E
Vitamin D
Thiamin
Pantothenic acid
Folic acid
Choline
Riboflavin
Yolks are also among the few foods that naturally contain
Vitamin D. On the other hand, protein and riboflavin are
equally distributed between the egg yolk and egg white so
be sure to eat both to contain all the benefits from this
extraordinary food!

BREAKFAST STACK

Instructions

Pearl-like sushi rice cooks up slightly moist and sticky, so


it forms a cake easily. Chilling the cakes before browning
helps them to hold their shapes better.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup of sushi rice


1 scallion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 slices of bacon (6 to 8 oz total)
4 large eggs

Preparation

Rinse rice in a large fine-mesh sieve under cold running


water, then drain well, tapping sieve. Combine rice, 1
cups of water, and teaspoon salt in a 2-quart heavy
saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook,
covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand,
covered, for 10 minutes.

While rice is standing, trim scallion and cut diagonally into


very thin slices.

Stir rice from bottom to top. Lightly butter a metal 1-cup


measure. Firmly pack enough rice in measure with a rubber
spatula to fill measure halfway. (If spatula becomes sticky,
dip in water.) Invert measure onto a buttered plate, then tap
measure to unmold rice. Repeat with remaining rice,
rebutter measure each time, to make 4 disks total. Chill
disks, uncovered, at least for 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over


moderately low heat until foam subsides. Add rice disks to
cook, rotating each once for even browning, until
undersides are pale golden, about 8 to 10 minutes, then turn
cakes over and add tablespoon butter to skillet, swirling,
to melt butter. Cook, rotating each cake once, until golden,
about 5 minutes more, and transfer to plates.
TUCSON BURRO BREAKFAST

Instructions

An egg breakfast was once dubbed heart-stopping, but we


now know that the eggs cholesterol need not be a liability.
Experts say one a day is OK, and its proteins can keep you
full until lunch. This burro, too big on satisfaction to be
called a burrito, partners eggs with another protein player:
lean machaca, a beef filling borrowed from Mexican
ranchers. This dish will give you the energy to wrangle
presents for even the toughest-to-buy-for relative.

Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

1 tbsp of vegetable oil


medium onion, chopped
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded, cored and chopped
1 lb thickly sliced lean deli roast beef, cut into
matchsticks (or a 15-oz can of black or pinto beans,
drained, for machaca for a non-meat protein)
cup low fat, low-sodium chicken, beef or vegetable broth
2 cups of bottled tomato salsa
1 cinnamon stick
1 large egg plus 1larhe egg white, whisked lightly
6 thin flour tortillas, warmed

Preparations

To make machaca, heat oil in a skillet on medium heat.


Add onions and peppers and saute about 3 minutes. Stir in
meat and continue sauteing until meat is brown and crispy
but not burned. (Scrape meat from the bottom
occasionally.) Stir in broth and cup salsa and add
cinnamon stick. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to medium
heat and cook until most of the liquid evaporates but the
meat remains moist. Salt to taste. Remove cinnamon stick.
Mix eggs into machaca and continue cooking 1 to 2
minutes until eggs are just firm. Spoon 1/6th mixture onto
each tortilla and roll up. Place on a plate and spoon
remaining salsa over each burro.
