Eating well is all about balance.
And this year, one more event is being added to the roster: breaking.
Sunny Choi has stepped foot in Paris to compete for the first-ever breaking gold.

EatingWell:How do you prioritize protein in your eating pattern?
When I do have the time, I give a shot to maximize protein synthesis throughout the day.
EatingWell:Current favorite dinners for busy days?
Choi:Im going to give you three dishes, and its ironic because all of them have eggs.
The second is a quick pizza.
The last one Ive been doing a lot is a quick pineapple fried rice dish.
Typically, I’ll include shrimp in it.
This is super quick because the sauce is already made.
These three meals are easy and comforting for me and have a good amount of protein.
EatingWell:What are some things you do for recovery after a workout or practice?
Sometimes those walks will be with the dog, sometimes not.
EatingWell:Why partner with The Incredible Egg?
Choi:I love food.
My whole life I’ve been trying to figure out how to break out of that mold.
To meet those expectations, I did everything that life expected me to do.
And outwardly it seemed very successful, but I was never happy.
It was about breaking out of that and learning how to put myself first and pursue my passions.
I’m currently chasing after my childhood dreams.
I am also obsessed with eggs in real life.
Its a fun partnership and a really great fit.
I’m not even kidding when I say I have, like, an egg pillow.
I have plates that are shaped like eggs with a little yellow yolk in the middle.
I really do like them a lot.
EatingWell:How do you like your eggs?
Choi:I think it depends on the dish that it’s accompanying rather than just the egg itself.
It’s really nostalgic and comforting.
It really depends on my mood.
I feel like theres no right way or best way.
EatingWell:Do you have a morning routine that you stick by?
If so, walk us through it.
When I was traveling all over the world I was waking up in different places.
I wondered if a morning routine would have grounded me, but I never got around to it.
I don’t have time for it every day because my schedule is so crazy.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
It’s about balance in terms of color, nutrition and nutrients.
It’s about making sure that you feel good and the way that you eat is sustainable.
