Because you need the fat and amino acid content to get you through the day, two eggs and a few strips of bacon is the best thing ever.

If thats not your thing, consider making coconut milk smoothies. Some coconut milk, a banana, a cup of frozen berry mix (or whatever you want) and a tablespoon of coconut oil. Vary coconut milk until you get the consistency you want, don't use canned.

It's a really good breakfast. Last summer I tried a keto/low-carb diet and only ate eggs w/ bacon in the morning.. after 3-4 months it was too much and now I can't eat it anymore. So go with something different everyday!

Yeah, you can easily wear out food.

Good option, but it misses some fibers.

Do you need to add sugar to the smoothie or does sweetness come from the coconut milk or banana?

Why coconut milk over regular milk or almond milk?

DiabloD33• 12 years ago

Almond milk doesn't have MCTs in it (important for mitochondrial function), and regular milk also doesn't AND should not be consumed because it is pasteurized which produces denatured proteins and is linked to cancer, and it is also full of various (natural and unnatural) hormones that interact oddly with humans (because, lets face it, we're not baby cows), plus there is also all of that lactose content.

2 hard boiled eggs + some almonds. Grab it on the way out the door, can eat it anywhere.

Fast, healthy, and keeps you full till lunch (and beyond!)

Greek yogurt and granola.

A whole can of of a tasty variety[1] of tuna fish, seasoned to taste with cracked pepper, lemon juice, etc.

I like to have a couple of pieces of toast with it as well, drizzled with olive oil.

Since it's not recommended to eat tuna every day (owing to concerns about mercury) try substituting with salmon and trout[2] several times per week, which are both low in mercury (relative to tuna).

Oatmeal with frozen blueberries or raisins with a little brown sugar.

+ Banana, pecans & cinnamon if you're feeling fancy.

Oatmeal is by far the best for breakfast if you ask me - i tend to eat it with some protein powder, so it contains everything for a good start and pretty fast and easy to make it. If you do not want the protein powder then a yoghurt or similar is good after.
