Easy Egg All in One Breakfast Muffins

A fitness and nutrition adventure that for the next 3 months (ish) is going to shape my mindset (and my butt, arms, and abs) and the way I think about nutrition into some pretty amazing results. I was pouring into the nutrition plan the other night and the idea of a preworkout meal is something as a bikini competitor I’m familiar with but with mom life and kid needs it doesn’t always happen.
