My new found love.....Quail eggs.

Hey sweets, I came across this super food some weeks ago when i was watching a show on tv, and they talked about Gwyneth Paltrow and how she eats quail eggs for good living, so I quickly stole the idea and couldn't help but share. I decided to use myself as the 'guinea pig' before I give the verdict. Lol. They are called quail eggs. I am sure some of you have heard and tried them. They taste great and cook in 4 mins. I always had mine for breakfast with a slice of toast. 1 egg contains about 14calories and has 13percent proteins. The nutritional value is 4 times greater than that of chicken eggs. I can't really say if it made me healthier or stronger o, I'm not sure. Another thing is that I wasn't consistent with it because it has a specific number that you are meant to eat for a specific period of time and I didn't follow it through. I want to try it again the correct way (see the tables below), that's why I decided to share with you maybe we can do this together. Dont blame me for doing this, nowadays I get all excited wheneva I hear that one food is beneficial to the body. See the bird that lays this wonderful egg:
