Eggs are a gold-standard protein that should be the staple of any muscle-building or fat-loss diet. Whether you like them fried, scrambled, sunny-side up, boiled, or omelet-style, eggs provide a good, fast way to get your daily vegetables. Toss veggies into your morning scramble or omelet. Add a sunny-side-up egg or hard-boiled egg slices to your mixed greens or grilled veggies. If you really don't like the taste or texture of vegetables, eggs can help disguise it. You can also flavor your eggs with spices, herbs, ketchup, salsa, hot sauce, or cheese.
