211. Another Thing the New Food Pyramid Got Wrong
About this episode
Michelle discusses the nutritional benefits of eggs and compares free-range to conventional eggs while sharing personal experiences and a recipe.
In this episode of Simple Doesn’t Mean Easy, Michelle breaks down why eggs may be the most underrated high-quality protein available today. With 97% digestibility and all nine essential amino acids, eggs provide complete protein in one simple, affordable food. But the real surprise? Eggs are one of the most bioavailable sources of lutein — a powerful carotenoid that protects eye health, filters blue light, and helps reduce age-related macular degeneration. Michelle also compares free-range eggs to conventional store-bought eggs, explaining differences in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin E, and yolk color. She shares personal experience raising backyard chickens in New England, discusses preserving eggs through freeze drying, and ends with a simple, family-favorite egg soufflé recipe. If you want to prioritize high-quality protein the simple way — this episode is for you.
