Part Two: Includes the Glycemic index, High Fructose Corn Syrup, bananas versus oranges for potassium, calories, calorie requirements, menu planning, breakfast, protein at breakfast, organic eggs and omega-6 to omega-3 ratios (1:1 ratio for organic, 20:1 for non organic eggs); lecithin in eggs, cholesterol.

Tips:
Eat breakfast!
Eat sufficient protein at breakfast.
Don’t rule out eggs as a source of protein but always use organic eggs
Choose an orange rather than a banana for a low glycemic index boost of potassium.
Organic eggs have a ratio of 1:1 omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, while non-organic eggs have 20:1. Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, while omega-6 is inflammatory.
