Breakfast has long been represented as the most important meal of the day, but what you eat is potentially more important than if you eat anything at all, according to obesity researcher David Ludwig. A protein-rich breakfast, such as eggs, can help you be satisfied longer than something loaded with carbs. These egg muffin cups, filled with broccoli, ham and cheese, fit the bill. Easy to make and easy to take, these savory, handheld snacks are an egg-cellent way to start your day!
