Eggs are a naturally nutritious choice as part of a healthy diet. One serving of 2 large eggs contain more than 16 vitamins and minerals, 13 grams of protein, only 160 calories and more than 7 times the Omega 3 than a serving of two large eggs. The hens are fed a diet of whole grains and other wholesome ingredients, including corn, soy, vitamins, minerals, plus omega oils, flax seed, and marigold extract for an additional source of DHA omega-3 fatty acids and lutein.

5 Reasons to Pack Eggs on your Camping Trip
We’re looking forward to spending time camping in Canada’s great outdoors. Here are 5 reasons why you should take eggs on your camping trip this summer.
Summer Snacking Packed with Protein
My dietitian told me that it's important to enjoy protein after activity in order to make up for any muscle breakdown. So, I prepare snacks that contain eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese, peanut butter or other protein-rich foods that my family enjoys. We either pair the protein snack with a glass of water or we include fluid right in the snack - such as when we make nutritious homemade ice pops or smoothies.
Walking Daily is Good for Your Health
Physical activity guidelines for Canadian adults suggest that we should get at least two and a half hours (150 minutes) of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity each week. But it doesn’t need to be all at once – the exercise can be split up into sessions of 10 minutes or more throughout the week. Examples of aerobic activity include brisk walking, bike riding, skating or playing sports such as hockey, pickleball and basketball.
