Another favourite quick breakfast is leftover rissoles, boiled eggs and avocado. I simply make some extra rissoles when having these for dinner, boil up a few days' supply of free range eggs and make sure I have some avocado on hand. I pack everything into an insulated bag with an ice pack to take to work where I can heat the meat in a microwave, add the boiled eggs, a little sea salt and cracked pepper, avocado and enjoy!
Fee range eggs are pretty awesome! According to "The Happiness Diet - A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brian, Balanced Mood, and Lean Energized Body" by Tyler Graham & Drew Ramsey MD, when a hen lives a normal life foraging around a farm her eggs contain the following:
B6 - crucial for most all your cognitive functions.
B12 - crucial for avoiding agitation and loss of focus.
These two vitamins together go a long way towards boosting memory and treating nervousness and depression.
B9, also known as folate - helps to protect your brain and lowers homocysteine levels in the blood - high levels are one of the best predictors of cognitive decline.
Iodine - central to your metabolism's master switch, the thyroid.
Magnesium - will loosen up your muscles and relax your circulatory systems, helping you focus on tasks of daily life.

Zinc - a mineral that improves brain function and helps B9 regulate our gene expression so that we stay healthy.
Iron - this trace metal boosts your body's ability to transport oxygen around your bloodstream and further increases energy and focus.
Tryptophan - a complete protein for mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Vitamin D - needed to help your body to absorb calcium. This is a fat-soluable vitamin, so we actually need fat in our diet to absorb it. Low levels of vitamin D is linked to depression.
Cholesterol - what your body uses to manufacture vitamin D from the sun. Also the main component of bile, which is what your gut will use to absorb nutrients.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids - makes us smarter and protects us from heart disease.
