Medical Comment on this Recipe:
- Eggs give a good protein content.
- Wheat flour actually has a very high protein content but unless the flour is combined with other protein grains, the amino acid composition is too out of whack to let your body really extract many amino acids to help protein building.
- Wheat flour replacements typically are carbohydrate foods, so a little extra care is important to make sure protein intake is adequate, especially if a vegan diet (no meat) is followed.
