Hears what will happen when feeding high energy foods, this energy will be effectively processed by the body, healthy proteins and minerals used to grow follicles while at the same time nourish a strong female, her eggs composition will be better balanced;
dry matter 30% water 65% shell 3% fat 5-7% protein 12% energy 10%
right now on a higher fat diet egg composition is 12-15% or more fat and protein and energy is lower. Changing your diet will balance egg composition and allow for strong healthy eggs. These will develop faster and be nested easier by an equally healthy female.

However filling up the fat bodies with higher protein and energy will take a little more time, no big deal when the outcome is strong healthy lizards.
