😔 Low Appetite
Cook 1 egg but eat just half. Even this provides 4-5g protein in under 3 minutes total time. Save other half if needed.
🤢 Feeling Nauseous
Microwave for shorter time leaving egg very soft. Serve barely warm. Very plain no salt. Eat one small forkful at a time.
😊 Normal Appetite
Make 2-egg version in larger mug (cook 60 seconds then 45 seconds). Add grated cheese for extra protein. Eat with toast. Proper meal.
📦 Storage & Make-Ahead
