Nutrition Tips

- Load your frittata with fibrous vegetables like spinach, peppers, and mushrooms to increase volume without many calories.
- Limit high-sodium processed meats like bacon or sausage to keep the dish heart-healthy.
- Opt for low-fat feta or goat cheese to add flavor with fewer calories than cheddar.
