Hi Becky
The egg in the pancakes would also be part of the protein. But yes, that is more of the way we would think about it.

I was a programmer when I started the program (and now I am a data analyst). I found that when I did the program, although I am still analytical, the creative side of me was able to open up more. I think part of the process of doing the program is learning to let go of the analysis and just experiencing things, although my analytical skills were useful too. But I had to learn when to stop and just be.
