Why Dr. Hoody endorses this recipe:

Just one hard boiled egg contains 78 cal, 6 g of protein, 1 g of carbohydrate and 5 g of fat. Only two of those grams of fat are saturated. There is enough nutrition in one egg to create a whole chicken. That includes vitamins A, B2, B12, B5, phosphorus and selenium. Hard-boiled eggs also contain vitamin D, zinc and calcium. 

Much of the nutrition is found in the yolk. Over half of the protein in an egg is found in the yolk. So, it is not advised to eat just the egg white. Eggs also happen to be very weight-loss friendly. By adding a generous serving of vegetables to your eggs you can have a complete meal with only about 300 cal.

Why Dr. Hoody endorses this recipe:

A 3.5 ounce piece of tilapia has 26 g of protein and only 3 g of fat and zero carbohydrates. It is high in selenium, niacin, B12 and phosphorus. Very important, tilapia is affordable and tastes less fishy than most fish. 

Why Dr. Hoody endorses this dish:

Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that contains some of almost every nutrient we need for proper nutrition. It contains 2 g of protein, 5 g of carbohydrate and 0 g of fat with only 25 cal per serving. It is high in fiber and has unique compounds that reduce the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Cauliflower has antioxidant properties and helps with weight loss. It contains choline which helps maintain a healthy nervous system and sulforaphane which suppresses many forms of cancer. Cauliflower is a great alternative to grains, even in the form of cauliflower rice.
