Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Breast is my Favorite. |
Spoiler Alert! On tonights Biggest Loser episode, trainer Bob Harper surprises contestants with a healthy cooking lesson rather than a workout.
Worried about "all over the place" eating habits, Harper wants to instill consistently healthy eating habits - starting with breakfast. Telling contestants that healthy lean protein is a key ingredient in a good diet, Harper presents Jennie-O ground turkey and turkey bacon as the meat of choice for two egg frittata recipes.
After contestants select one frittata to eat, Harper lets them know that these breakfast treats are healthy enough for them to enjoy two!
Today¹s busy schedules make skipping breakfast entirely or grabbing higher-calorie fast foods more and more common.
A key component of a better breakfast is protein. The Institute of Health¹s Dietary Reference Intake recommendations allow anywhere from 10 percent to 35 percent of total calories for normal healthy adults.
Jennie-O has a long list of Biggest Loser-approved products, all great sources for healthy protein, including the ground turkey and turkey bacon featured in the January 13 episode.
