If you eat much more per day or in greater than 25g boluses, your body can't absorb and utilize the protein…

Bake them at 350 for 20-30 minutes (keep an eye on em!) Serve…

I did the RMR test for free through a university and compared it to 5 different equations that can be found online. My results? Within 100 calories.
