While I’m in China, I’ll have a series of guest posters and backlogged posts going up.
First up is Lynn of The Actor’s Diet ! She and her fellow blogger Christy are two lovely ladies who work hard and have fun while sharing their delicious dishes with us! Ever since I found their blog last year, I’ve been loving their insights into the world of acting and their very human day-to-day eats. I’m very excited to introduce the wonderful Lynn to The Happiness in Health ! You can read more about her here .

Hello Happiness in Health Readers! This is Lynn from The Actors Diet . For those of you unfamiliar with our site, we are two actresses who blog about our daily diet and the superficial pressures of Hollywood with a focus on health and positive body image. Thanks to Jessie for this guest post!
Being an actor, I never know what my day-to-day schedule is going to be like. Sometimes it’s crazy – most times it’s not – but in the world of entertainment (especially television) everything is done very last-minute. If I find myself scrambling around for auditions or appearances or meetings, I like to have easy-to-grab things in the house that I can eat in my car (usually while sitting in horrendous Los Angeles traffic). My main fridge essential is a batch of hard boiled eggs:
My fool-proof way to hard boil eggs is to cover them in cold water, bring them to a boil, then remove them from the heat. Cover with a lid, and set the timer to 10 minutes. Drain, cover with cold water (2 or 3 rinses, add some ice too) and let them sit for another 10 minutes. They’ll peel easily and last for about a week in the fridge!

Thanks, Lynn, for your awesome post! I’m craving some hard boiled eggs right now 
I’m a huge fan of eggs, and not just because they taste good. I alluded to how wonderful eggs are in this post. For those of you who include eggs in your diet, eggs are a cheap source of high quality protein. An egg costs about 24 cents and offers 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, 2 grams of monounsaturated fats (MUFA), and other good stuff like choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin. For those of you worried about cholesterol levels: Contrary to popular belief, eating cholesterol does not raise your blood cholesterol. Eating a lot of saturated fat, however, will raise your blood cholesterol tremendously. For more information, check out the links here and here .
Q: Do you like eggs? Would you like me to write a post about eggs in the future: nutrition, recipes, etc.
