Lets take a minute to talk about whole wheat bread. While there are lots of low carb diets out there, where bread is discouraged, bread can actually be very good for our bodies. Whole wheat bread provides tons of nutrients: the actual wheat is a complex carbohydrate, and the most efficient source of energy available to the body.
Fiber-is a carb in the food that acts like a broom and sweeps our our digestive track and 1 slice of whole wheat bread contains 1.5 grams of dietary fiber.
Whole wheat bread is not only low in fat, but contains lots of vitamins and minerals including:
Thiamin
Niacin
Iron
Zinc
Along with the bread and all its nutrients in this meal, there is of course the "incredible" egg which provides our bodies with tons and tons of protein. Eggs also contain iron, zinc, vitamin A and E.
I always throw in cheese to my scrambled eggs and cheese provides calcium and protein but it also contains vitamin A and vitamin A, just like vitamin E, is instrumtal in keeping bad cancer cells at bay.
