As the price of eggs soars due to the shortage caused by bird flu, many people wonder what protein-rich options they can include in their diet to replace eggs. An average egg has between five and eight grams of protein depending on its size, so it's no wonder it’s a great choice to start your day. But there are other just as healthy options you can try, according to nutritionists.
“Protein is a vital component to a healthy breakfast,” says Jessica Jones, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, according to SELF.
Protein helps to keep you full and satisfied longer, preventing mid-morning hunger pangs. It also aids in muscle repair and growth, which is essential for maintaining overall health and fitness.
