Awesome Veggie Omelet Recipe
Ah the egg – once deemed by society to be perfect food. It has everything you need to build a strong body: protein, healthy fat, and some cholesterol. Poor misguided souls have been ill-advised about dietary cholesterol, as it’s needed by our body to make hormones. Good hormones = a good body (remember that).

You get one awesome omelet recipe! This recipe isn’t for everyone though; it’s slightly higher in calories than the usual meal serving.

-If you’ve been following a low calorie diet and need to cycle a high calorie day in to keep your metabolism going
-You’re an athlete training 8-12 hours a week and thus need a high calorie intake
-You’re trying to put on lean mass
