Egg Yolks are the nourishing nucleus of the egg and contain nutrients such as essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Egg yolks are also the rich, flavoursome portion of the egg and are often used in recipes to enhance flavours and bind ingredients.
Egg yolks contain a number of vitamins including B12, B6, A, K, E and folate. Egg yolks are also one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D.
Don't skip on the yolks...
Egg yolks also contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium and iron. Although the egg white contains some of these, it is in the egg yolks where most of these are found.
Fats are an essential part of any healthy diet, and egg yolks are a good source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats..
Egg yolks also contain –omega-3 fatty acids which have a number of benefits including the reduction of blood clots and unhealthy triglycerides.
Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Also present our medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCFAs). Good for healing and antibacterial properties.

I used pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, walnuts and macadamia today, but any type of seed or nut will work great with this...
As coconut milk is high in fats and calories I often use it at the start of the day, twice a week, rather than later as it is very filling. I like to include my vegetables and meats after lunchtime.
This combined with the eggs and nuts keeps me fueled for most of the day if I need it to, sometimes for 6-8 hours (NSNG adapted)
Enjoy!
