We all know that breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day, but that does not answer the question "What to eat for breakfast?". Too many Northern Americans begin the day with a bowl full of cereal, that actually is typically 2x-3x the amount recommended as a serving size. And breakfasts like cereal or pancakes that are high in carbohydrates leave a person hungry a trifling few hours after they are done eating. The trick's to eat a breakfast that's protein rich. Protein will both fill you up for hours and keep you gorged till dinner time as well as give you a good strong start to your day.
My favourite way to start the day is the awesome, edible egg. "What about cholesterol?" you could be asking. New studies prove that it is not really foods with cholesterol that lead to high cholesterol in humans. In fact eating a diet rich in refined grains and sugar is far more likely to end up in high cholesterol than eating a diet rich in eggs. So don't be scared of the egg.
My profound 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. This is how to make it:
"Party Omelet" Ingredients:
- 4 eggs (2 full eggs, two egg whites)
- any veg you like
- salsa
- guacamole
- hot sauce
- calories: about 300
"Party Omelet" Directions:
1. Heat up a pan with some oil. I really like to use coconut oil beacause it's got a high smoke point and is good for you.
2. Then add the four eggs. I use two full eggs + 2 eggs whites. The yolk is basically superb for you, so you do not need to cut them out fully. In reality just eating egg whites can lead to a vitamin B deficiency, but clever nature has put something in the yolk to handle it, so when you eat the entire, whole food, you do not have to fret about it. I then add an additional 2 whites of the eggs to add more protein but keep the calories lower. Also, I like fried eggs and to keep my yolks sort of runny. You can cook to your own preference but there's evidence that not over cooking the eggs and yolk retains more of the nutrients, so try not so cook it so long that it tastes like rubber.
3. Add any vegetables that you like- the more the merrier! I enjoy onions and herbs like cilantro or rosemary. Herbs are full of fantastic nutriments for the body so get a mixed bunch and sprinkle them in liberally.
4. When the eggs are prepared, take them out of the pan and put them on a plate.
5. Drizzle on some hot sauce to sample.
6. Add 2 teaspoons of salsa (I buy organic salsa in a container, but it is great if you want to make it fresh).
7. Add 2 teaspoons of guacamole (again, I buy 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.
