Health Benefits of the Dish
🥚 Muscle-Building Protein
Eggs and cheddar cheese provide high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. Protein also helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss and supports metabolism by increasing the thermic effect of food (TEF), which means your body burns more calories during digestion.
🥑 Healthy Fats
Avocados offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that support brain function and energy. These fats also aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), contribute to hormone regulation, and help maintain cell membrane health.
🌿 Antioxidant Boost
Parsley and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin K, and lycopene. These antioxidants help reduce inflammation, protect cells from oxidative stress, and support immune function. Vitamin K also plays a role in bone health and blood clotting regulation.
