Over a seven week period the participant will take part in eating breakfast of either egg breakfast or cereal breakfast which will be monitored. Blood samples will be taken before participants eat and different times throughout until after Lunch on day 1 and day 7.

After a two week period participants will return for another week of the same procedure and tests that was followed from Day 1 though day 7 listed. However, this time participants will be eating the second of the two breakfasts whichever one they did not have for the first test period.
