Scrambled eggs on toasted wholemeal muffins

Scrambled eggs on toasted wholemeal muffins

This simple dish makes an ideal post-exercise meal as it combines both carbohydrate (from muffins) and protein (from eggs), which enable rapid re-fuelling of muscle glycogen and repair of muscle tissue. Wholemeal muffins are recommended as they provide more iron, B vitamins and fibre than ordinary muffins.
