This recipe is full of quality protein and fat to keep you fuller for longer while not being too heavy on your stomach. The Safcol tuna is a star protein source. This fish also provides essential omega 3 fat which your brain, heart, arteries, and eyes need to function well. Tuna is also a great source of other vitamins and minerals like, iron, iodine, zinc, B12 and choline just to name a few.

Adding to the healthy fat is the extra virgin olive oil. Promoting healthy cholesterol levels as well as fighting off free radicals by contributing over 36 different antioxidants. Eggs with the yolk are a nutrition powerhouse and will give your body additional protein but also vitamin D which is needed for a healthy immune system and to allow calcium to be absorbed properly in your body.

The parmesan will add the calcium which helps your bones and teeth stay strong. Calcium has other roles too like helping your muscles to contract.

A meal without vegetables would be incomplete and this recipe has great healthy veggies. Red capsicum is a good source of vitamin C. This helps your immune system function well and is also a key player in making collagen. Collagen is a protein which is needed for strong tendons, ligaments and to keep your skin looking youthful. Mushrooms are a highly underrated vegetable and contain many impressive nutrients like B vitamins to allow the food you eat to be converted to energy.

Mushrooms are also high copper which allows iron to be used, supports hair and eye health and for energy to be used efficiently in your body. Mushrooms also contain antioxidants which support your overall health and wellbeing. Finally, the onion adds a special antioxidant called quercetin which is known to support immune function. This meal may feel light, but the health benefits are heavy.
