WHAT DO WE EAT?
The result?
The quiche is rich in energy, it should not be removed from the diet but rather make sure not to consume in large quantities. Favour “homemade” food that is less rich in salt, and you can accompany it with vegetables to offset its high energy content. For people who do not need to consume too much salt, bacon can be replaced by chicken or white ham to reduce the quantity (for people over 65 years old, no restrictions are recommended).
The tomato pie is interesting because it is much richer than the quiche, and it is in season, but it cannot alone make up a meal. It is possible to picnic with hard-boiled eggs (for protein) and a piece of cheese (for calcium). It can also be considered to make a vegetable flan for a more interesting protein intake!
