Ham and Eggs are one of the most common European breakfasts; it's a quick and easy dish that takes under 10 minutes to make and will fill you up quite nicely, while tasting really good. But is it good for you?

Eggs make for a pretty solid breakfast - low calorie count, high protein value and low saturated fat values make eggs great fuel for your body, especially if you go easy on the oil you fry them in. You can also mind the salt, as the ham should have more than enough to fulfill your morning needs, and if you take more than your body needs, you will start retaining water. If it's a store-bought ham, it's sure to be rich in sodium, and, a the very least, saturated with phosphorus. Make sure it's a quality ham, and don't overdo it; you are supposed to have some protein with your breakfast, but the most important part of it will come from the eggs.

Having some cheese with ham and eggs will increase the caloric value of the meal, but it will give your body quite an energy boost to start a day with.
