Dirty Thirty #20: Protein Bars, Drinks and Supplements

No time for breakfast? No problem; just grab a protein bar as you head out the door. Workout at the gym? Be sure to drink that whey protein shake after to help your body recover. Kids not eating what you put in front of them? Okay, just give them that protein drink specialized for them.

Or NOT!

Dirty Thirty #15: Egg Whites (and My Breakfast Recipe)

How many times have you gone to brunch with friends and begrudgingly ordered an egg white omelette to be "healthy"? Well, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to pretend to enjoy that rubbery mass!

Egg whites are in the same vein as boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see Dirty Thirty #1), as they are not whole foods. Remember, nature packages food how we need to get the most bang for our buck. It's us humans that try to mess with that perfect balance. In fact, a whole egg is one of the very few foods that is a complete protein--meaning that it contains an adequate proportion of all nine of the essential amino acids!
