Why is this good for you ?

Courgettes are non-starchy vegetables that are rich in carotenoids. Eating non-starchy vegetables and carotenoid-rich vegetables may decrease the risk of breast cancer.

Eggs are a healthy source of protein. Protein is an important part of a balanced diet and is key to building and maintaining all types of body tissue, including muscle.
