Quick easy breakfast ideas: Veggie scramble

Eggs are a great way to start your day. They are such a nutritious and affordable source of good quality proteins and fats. Eggs are nutrient-dense and they're fantastic for rushed breakfasts in the morning if you're looking for a quick, inexpensive protein source.

What's also important for optimum health and taste is the origin of eggs. When possible, always choose pastured eggs instead of regular or even organic. Eggs from free-range pastured hens have up to 3 time more omega 3s, calcium and other essential nutrients which are absent in conventionally raised chicken. As we said eggs are quite an affordable food so put this ingredient into your “must buy organic” list and enjoy this nutrient-dense product in all its lovely variations. What’s more, due to their high content of nutrients, pastured eggs are much more satiating, so maybe you will feel full after 2 instead of 4.

You can choose your favorite or just take what you have in the fridge to make this scramble but I highly recommend trying this veggie combo. It is so well balanced with the sweetness of the pepper, stinginess of spinach and earthiness of mushrooms. They form a varied and balanced taste which your palate will love.

We decided to garnish it with some fresh tomatoes and some sweet and vitamin rich natural “dessert” – grapefruit. Add a piece or two of your favorite fruit to give yourself some carbohydrates to add some energy and sweetness to your breakfast fuel your workouts and your day.

We often eat this for breakfast, usually with a couple of pieces of fruit or toast on the side, or topped with avocado. So tasty! Don't be afraid to switch out veggies to use your favorites, and you can always make this vegan by preparing with tofu instead of eggs. Something different works for each of us, so it's important to not be afraid to make those changes that make it work for you. You should love the way your food tastes and it should make you feel great!

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
