Eggs are another source of protein to add to your diet, and are packed with many other nutrients as well.
One especially nice thing about them is that they can be cooked in so many different ways, and easily combined with the things that are already in your diet.
The only hard part is that oil is not on the list yet, so you can't fry them... But then, I don't know that this thing has to be quite that strict. I'm sure a little Pam or something, so you could make a nice asparagus and artichoke omelette, would be fine. (Pam even says it's "fat free", which is kind of hilarious because it's actually all fat, just that the "serving size" is small enough that the daily value can be rounded down to zero.)
Anyway, if you do use a little oil to fry your eggs, try to remember to be grateful for it, and use it sparingly.
Meditation (for a hard boiled egg):
As you start to place the egg in your mouth, feel the smooth texture of the white on your tongue. Bite into it, and savor the soft, rich center. Think a little about where this came from. A chicken somewhere has eaten grain or corn or bugs and transformed the raw materials from these into this amazingly nutritious food. It's a very filling food, providing a steady source of energy as well as vitamin b6 and vitamin d.
