Low-carb keto breakfast FAQ
We’re about to jump into all the yummy recipes, but first, let me answer a few questions you might have about what to eat for breakfast when on a low-carb diet or keto diet.
Are there keto breakfast options without eggs?
Yes, if you’re tired of always eating eggs on a low-carb diet, you can enjoy grain-free sugar-free granola, unsweetened yoghurt, low-sugar berries, cooked bacon, keto pancakes, keto waffles, or keto green smoothies. Besides eggs, you can also eat meat, cheese, vegetables, and nuts for breakfast.
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
No, you don’t need breakfast every day. The myth of “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is not actually nutritional advice, but instead, a marketing slogan. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and fellow 7th Day Adventist James Caleb Jackson invented this slogan to help sell their breakfast cereals in 1917.
Most modern breakfast cereals are made with grains, sugar, and ultra-processed oils.
Many people do enjoy breakfast each day but equally, many people are finding the amazing benefits of intermittent fasting. They skip breakfast entirely and their eating window is between 12 noon to 8 pm, called a 16:8 fast. But when you do want to eat breakfast that is sugar-free, low-carb, or keto these breakfast recipes are quick and easy options.
TOP TIP: Watch this video.Because if you learn what is wrong with cereals, you will learn what is wrong with modern food production. Learn the 5 whole-grain myths (number 3 always makes me giggle). No one should start their day with grains, it’s what they use to fatten cattle.
How do I do weekly keto breakfast meal prep?
Breakfast meal prepping is a game-changer. Many people meal prep for lunch and dinner but leave breakfast to chance. Breakfast is the most hectic meal of the day – so it’s crucial that you’re prepped and ready!
Get ready with some reusable meal prep containers… that are easy, safe, and convenient. The best recipes for keto meal prep are grain-free granola, freezer pancakes, and breakfast chaffles.
What’s the best breakfast option to keep me full?
Eating high-protein breakfasts will help keep you fuller for longer and stop feeling hungry later in the day. Here are 23+ high-protein breakfast ideas you can choose from.
