EGG MUFFINS!
Bake a dozen and have them accessible for days! If you don't like to cook in the morning, but need something before starting your day, these are the perfect little buddies to take on the go.
What you need
Cup cake baking sheet
1 egg for each cupcake spot (i.e., 12-cup cake sheet, 12 eggs)
1/4 c diced zuccini
1/4 lb ground meat of your choice
1 large tomatoes
Ready, set, go
Grease your pan. Preheat your oven to 375. Toss the ground meat in a pan and cook through. In a large bowl add eggs, zucchini and tomatoes and whisk together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
NOTE: GET CREATIVE! change the ingredients around, add other stuff you really like or try something totally new and cool. Be careful about going overboard on the quantity, the muffins will overflow.
To easily pour mixture into the cup cake forms, put the eggs etc into a pitcher, then evenly pour it into the tray. Before popping it into the over put a little bit of ground meat into each form. Toss into the oven and give them about 18 minutes. Once they've risen like real cup cakes, take them out and toss them into a bowl.
Re-heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, or the toaster oven for a couple minutes.
PERFECT!

Rules in a nut shell
No refined sugar or refined carbohydrates. No grain, wheat, soy or dairy (except grassfed hormone free butter and whey protein powder) period.
Limit the amount of sugary fruits in exchange for raw or minimally cooked vegetables.
Build every meal (3-5 per day) around a generous serving of animal based protein and a vegetable on the side.
Once a day or so enjoy a protein and fat only meal and similarly once a week or so condense all your eating into two meals which is also known as intermittent fasting.
Keep avocados, coconut products and a variety of mixed nuts available, and some of all of these things, most days.
Two meal cheats per week
