This is totally normal after eating too much, including eating too many carb-rich foods like breads and baked goods. Carbohydrates are essential to every eating pattern, but there are times where we overdo it. These veggie-packed breakfasts have no more than 14 grams of carbs per serving, so they will help you get back to feeling your best. Recipes like our Cheesy Zucchini Quiche and Carrot Smoothie are healthy, satisfying and flavorful ways to get yourself back on track with a balanced, healthy eating pattern. 01 of 15 3-Ingredient Bell Pepper & Cheese Egg Cups View Recipe Carolyn Hodges, M.S., RDN Requiring just three main ingredients—bell peppers, eggs and shredded cheese—these portable baked eggs are simple to assemble and perfect for meal prep.
