"Had quite a few eggs in the fridge so boiled them up to make breakfast and a stash of boiled eggs as a protein snack for over the weekend :)"
"Youre halfway through your weekly target of having four protein-rich breakfasts. Boiling up a batch of eggs for breakfast and as a protein snack is a smart move. The fact that youre making use of whats available in your fridge is also commendable. Its a good practice to keep a stash of healthy snacks handy for when hunger strikes"
