Everyone knows that breakfast is thought of as the most critical meal of the day, but that doesn't answer the question "What to eat for breakfast?". Too many American citizens start the day with a bowl full of cereal, that in reality is sometimes 2x-3x the amount advised as a serving size. Plus breakfasts like cereal or pancakes that are high in carbs leave someone hungry a mere few hours after they're done eating. The secret's to eat a breakfast that is heavy in protein. Protein will both fill you up for hours and keep you satiated until lunchtime as well as give you a good strong beginning to your day.
My favorite way to kick off the day is the incredible, edible egg. "What about cholesterol?" you could be asking. New studies show that it's not essentially foods with cholesterol which may lead to high cholesterol in humans. In truth eating a diet high in refined grains and sugar is far more likely to result in high cholesterol than eating a diet rich in eggs. So don't be terrified of the egg.
My convincing favourite breakfast in an omelette I created that I call the "Party Omelet". I call it the Party Omelette because it is a party on the plate and a party in your mouth. Here is how to make it:
"Party Omelet" Ingredients:
- four eggs (two entire eggs, 2 whites of the eggs)
- any vegetables you like
- salsa
- guacamole
- hot sauce
- calories: about three hundred
"Party Omelet" Directions:
1. Heat up a pan with some oil. I like to use coconut oil beacause it has got a high smoke point and is good for you.
2. Then add the 4 eggs. I use 2 whole eggs + two eggs whites. The yolk is actually excellent for you, so you don't want to chop them out completely. In truth just eating whites of the eggs can end up in a vitamin B deficiency, but clever nature has put something in the yolk to fight it, so when you eat the complete, whole food, you don't have to worry about it. I then add a further two egg whites to add more protein but keep the calories lower. Also, I like fried eggs and to keep my yolks kind of runny. You can cook to your own preference but there's proof that not over cooking the eggs and yolk keeps more of the nutriments, so try not too cook it so long that it tastes like rubber.
3. Add any plants that you like- the more the merrier! I enjoy onions and herbs like cilantro or maybe rosemary. Herbs are full of wonderful nutrients for the body so get a mixed bunch and speckle them in liberally.
4. When the eggs are ready, take them out of the pan and put them on a plate.
5. Spatter on some hot sauce to taste.
6. Add two little spoons of salsa (I buy organic salsa in a container, but it's nice if you need to make it fresh).
7. Add two spoons of guacamole (again, I purchase it in a container, but even better to make it at home).
8. For the piece de resistance I add a side of fresh, unpasturized saurkraut.
And voila! You have got a VERY filling breakfast all for about 300 calories. You will not be hungry for hours! And you will have packed in a ton of protein and a serving of vegetables. Hooray for healthy living.
