Keto Breakfast Foods

The keto diet offers many healthy choices when it comes to the best keto breakfast foods. With the emphasis on high fat, medium protein and low carbohydrate there are many tasty keto breakfast options.

The obvious choice is a breakfast of bacon and eggs. Your grandparents probably enjoyed this breakfast frequently. Before the huge advertising push towards cereals, this was a long term favourite.

This traditional breakfast is both healthy and naturally keto friendly. Your grandparents generation seldom suffered from obesity, type 2 diabetes or chronic inflammation.

Chronic Inflammation is the single most important driver behind many if not all the numerous diseases now suffered by an ever-increasing proportion of the population.

If you’re a fan of bacon and eggs, go ahead. Make enough to feel satisfied. The keto diet is not about restricting calories.

However, take care to not push to boat out too far; the keto diet isn’t an all-you-can-eat buffet either. Eating any food, including keto friendly foods will cause weight gain if eaten in excess.

So, apart from Bacon and eggs, what else would count as super satisfying keto breakfast foods? How do you decide which foods to choose?

Make sure you choose high fat, nutritionally dense keto breakfast foods

The first rule has to be always make sure that your food choices are high fat and nutritionally dense. Good keto breakfast foods will include such foods as:

• • Eggs – Anyway you like them. If fried use bacon fat, lard or butter to keep to healthy oils. Avoid seed oils like the plague.
  • Avocado –

A serving size of half a medium avocado

 

• • • 6g carbs
    • 12g fat
    • 1g protein
    • 130 calories.
    • Delicious as a side with almost any breakfast. Don’t be put off with the highish carb count. They are packed with healthy fiber which brings the net carb count down to a very low level. 
  • Cheese – hard cheeses are best. Add cheese to an omelet, sprinkle it over scrambled eggs or enjoy slices drizzled with olive oil and accompanied by a few olives. This will give you a super healthy Mediterranean style breakfast with almost zero preparation time.
  • Bacon – add small pieces to omelets or scrambled eggs. Wrap cheese or asparagus with bacon as a tasty breakfast that will set you up for the whole day
  • Taco Bowls – I love these. I use cauliflower rice as a base and then add any meat I feel like such as minced beef. Pile the cauliflower rice in the bowl, add the meat, add some grated cheese, a little chopped tomato with onion, some avocado slices. Get creative, this is a fantastic breakfast which you can make in dozens of different ways.
  • Olives –

A serving size of 1oz/28g

 

• • 1.53g carbs
  • 3.2g fat

Asparagus Bacon Wraps

• 3g protein

• 36 asparagus spears
• 12 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt & Pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 220C/425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
