The Bunny or the Egg?

Well, the egg is a perfect protein; the standard against what other proteins are measured against. It is about 70 calories, and the best way to start your day. Studies have shown that when you start your day with an egg that you will eat less the rest of the day. Eggs are nutrient dense, full of vitamins, fat and proteins that are used by every part of your body to repair, rebuild and energize. The Chocolate bunny, on the other hand, is full of fat, sugar and antioxidants; while the anti-oxidants play an important role (they attack the free radicals that line your arteries and help reduce the chances of a heart attack), you get those benefits from a SMALL square of dark chocolate - that doesn't look much like a bunny! Starting your day with fat and sugar will make you slugglish; this same chocolate at the end of a day will relax you. So, have both! The egg starts your day; you'll be more productive, alert and energetic. The chocolate ends your day; it's a great way to put yourself in a good mood and relieve the stress from the day (just like red wine!); pounds multiply as fast as bunnies, though, so be careful!! Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday - Melissa
