Tomato Beans with Egg

Beans really are a superfood. They are rich in fibre to support the gut microbiome and also provide some protein. This helps keep protein intake topped up, although it can be difficult to meet protein needs from beans alone at a meal. In this recipe, protein is boosted with eggs, or you can use around 100g tofu if preferred, making it a perfect, warming weekend breakfast. I have also added flaxseeds to increase the fibre content. This is optional, but it is a good example of fibre stacking, where different fibre rich foods are added to a meal to help you reach your daily fibre intake. For weight maintenance, after your 4 weeks on the plan, or if you require more protein, you can add 15g grated Parmesan cheese and 50g Greek yogurt per serving. This brings the protein up to around 30g, in line with my Triple 30 Principles. For extra nutrients, keep the peel on your carrots.
