So I am usually not an egg eater. But as I have chronicled, have had to give into the protein gods and put my desires and food ego aside. But I have actually grown to love a hard boiled egg with a bit of salt and pepper. They are the perfect snack or meal. For whatever reason, my preggo body is responding well to them. The protein keeps my baby growing well and developing her brain while also keeping my body unbloated. Protein is great to eat if you are a sweller. It keeps the bloat and edema down. Anyway, came across this article about choline and what an important nutrient it is. So if you like eggs and are having a baby girl, you could be doing her a world of good. There are other ways to find choline in foods as well as supplements. But I am sticking by my organic, grass fed, omega 3, brown, hard boiled eggs for now.
