    1 egg eaten

    I monitor how much i give them of extra protein, but my ladies love tuna from a can. I stock up extra when stores have case lots. If you get tuna in oil, its soybean oil so just adds to the protein. I know soy is also not recommend as its a cheap source of protein but it doesnt hurt.
