What to eat for breakfast? ANYTHING nourishing and supportive. Why not spaghetti squash with meatballs? Burger patty with kraut? Taco salad? Yes please.
One of the main reasons people eat eggs is that they are in the habit of eating ‘breakfast’ foods at breakfast. And the Standard American Diet does NOT serve up supportive foods. Look at any breakfast menu to confirm. We serve up dessert: bagels, cereal, toasts, muffins, pancakes, and the list goes on. So when we (intentionally) move away from the sugar laden, inflammatory grain options, the only option for protein focused, low sugar, nutrient dense foods in the breakfast folder in our mind?? Eggs. When we think outside the ‘breakfast’ label box, we get to choose eggs, or NOT.
Now comes the issue of time in the morning. Another big obstacle my clients come across is finding time to eat supportive foods as they’re getting themselves, and usually a few little people, out of bed, dressed, fed, cared for, and out the door to work/school etc. In come the saviors…no nourishing food is off limits, preparation, and reuse. I always make extra protein when I’m cooking (ground beef, chicken, insert your faves) and having it at the ready. I also LOVE making a quick breakfast scramble sauté with leftovers. I occasionally eat eggs and enjoy them when I do, but when you get tired of them or it’s time for an egg reset/break… dig in to an ‘any meal anytime’ mindset and the options are limitless!
