BREAKFAST POWER BOWL . This is a simple breakfast that will keep you on track all day. The protein and healthy fats will keep you satiated and less hungry throughout the day. Plus, if losing weight is your thing, I had a variation of this for breakfast almost everyday last week and this helped me lose 3.5lbs on my first week back on plan! . Its super easy and its so good. As always, adjust whatever you want to your liking. . Here is how I made it: . 1.Start by making your medium-boiled eggs. I bring a pot of water to a boil, then drop eggs in right out of the fridge for a total of 8 mins 25 seconds. If you want a firmer egg, go a few seconds longer. If you want it more jammy, go with 7.5 mins or so. Whatever time you decide, when they’re done, bring them out of the hot water and drop into an ice bath for a few seconds to cool down. . 2. Grab your favorite bowl and add 1 serving of cottage cheese as the layer. If you dont like the curds, you can always process it to get it to be creamier. . 3.Next, remove your eggs from the ice bath, remove the shell, slice into your favorite shape, and add on top. . 4.Slice half an avocado (65g or so) and add to the bowl. . 5.Finally, add some lower calorie flavorful additions. I like to add fresh cilantro, some super finely diced red onion, and lots of truffle hot sauce. You can add whatever you like. Cucumbers, tomato, jalapeños would be great here too, for lower calorie additions. . 6.And top with some Chile lime seasoning and everything bagel seasoning. . If you try it, be sure to let me know what you think on SHREDHAPPENS . ENJOY! . . . . . . #lowcarb #lowcarbrecipes #ketorecipes #keto #healthyrecipes #goodmoodfood #whatsonmyplate #healthyfoodshare #breakfastideas
Healthy fats, also known as unsaturated fats, are beneficial for our overall health and should be included in a balanced diet. They provide essential nutrients, help in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and support various bodily functions. Here are some examples of healthy fats: Monounsaturated fats: These fats can help improve heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels (LDL cholesterol) while maintaining or increasing good cholesterol levels (HDL cholesterol). They can be found in foods such as avocados, olive oil, canola oil, peanut butter, and most nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, and pistachios). Polyunsaturated fats: These fats are also beneficial for heart health and help lower LDL cholesterol. They include two types of essential fatty acids: a. Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and are important for brain health. b. Omega-6 fatty acids: These are found in vegetable oils (e.g., soybean oil, sunflower oil), nuts, and seeds. While omega-6 fatty acids are essential, it's important to maintain a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Some saturated fats: Although saturated fats have been traditionally considered unhealthy, recent research suggests that some saturated fats may not be as harmful as previously believed. However, moderation is key, and it's still recommended to limit saturated fat intake. Healthy sources of saturated fats include coconut oil and dark chocolate. It's important to note that while healthy fats offer health benefits, they are also calorie-dense, so portion control is necessary, especially if you're trying to manage your weight. It's recommended to replace unhealthy fats (e.g., trans fats and excessive saturated fats) with these healthier options.
