Herby Egg & Sausage Bake

Gentle (yet important) reminder: 2 eggs for breakfast gives you 12 grams of protein just is not nearly enough for an adult person.

If you find yourself hovering in your kitchen all day looking for snacks, opening and closing doors to find something to much on, only to get sugar cravings in the afternoon, that is your sign that you are not eating enough protein 📣

If morning appetite is non existent, start with a mini-breakfast and be consistent. After a few days or weeks you will mostly start having an appetite again and this is something to be celebrated! Energy is not made from caffeine or willpower. You are a human that needs nutrients to thrive, so nourish yourself. And have something tasty while you’re at it 🫶
