🥚 Egg Recipes
Eggs are the most versatile protein source in any kitchen — 6 grams of protein per egg, pennies per serving and endless ways to cook them. From quick scrambles to baked frittatas, eggs are the foundation of healthy eating on a budget.

Eggs beyond breakfast
Eggs are not just for morning — they are a legitimate dinner protein. A veggie frittata with feta and spinach serves four for under five dollars. Egg fried rice takes 10 minutes. Shakshuka with tomatoes and peppers is a one-pan dinner. Hard-boiled eggs in a grain bowl add instant protein. Think of eggs as an all-day protein, not just a breakfast food.
Egg whites vs whole eggs
Whole eggs contain all the nutrition — protein in the white, healthy fats and vitamins in the yolk. One whole egg has 70 calories and 6 grams of protein. For a lower calorie option, use a mix: one whole egg plus two egg whites gives you 18 grams of protein for about 120 calories. Both options are excellent — choose based on your calorie target for the day.
