Breakfast idea

Options
I usually have an egg sandwich in the morning, with a low carb high fiber bread...but that is a lot of calories.
What do you eat for breafast?

    Honestly... I eat at my desk after school has started, so I normally have either a Atkins bar or a Quest bar.

    I always have coffee with a few tablespoons of heavy cream and then a little of whatever solid food is laying around. I might have an egg, a hunk of cheese, or a few slices of ham. Hunger isn't really an issue when I'm in ketosis so I avoid doing anything big and fancy during the morning rush. Plenty of time to eat all the calories later in the day.

    I don't mind high calories for breakfast. If it fills you up and lasts you until lunch or dinner (if you are intentionally trying to skip lunch) then that's great. I usually do bulletproof coffee (BPC) solo or with either bacon and eggs or berries and full fat greek yogurt (how ever this option is high in carbs so I have to already have a plan for what I'll be having for lunch and dinner because most of my carb allowance is used up for this meal). On the weekends I might do something more like low carb/keto pancakes. Saturday I made BPC, keto pancakes, bacon and eggs and my breakfast was over 1000 calories but it lasted me until dinner.

    True bulletproof coffee is

    "At least 1-2tbs unsalted grass-fed butter or grass-fed ghee.
    1-2tbs of Brain Octane™ or XCT oil™ (these are 18x and 6x stronger than coconut oil, with no flavor. They are NOT generic MCT oil, which is about 1.6x stronger than coconut oil)
    1-2 cups (~250-500ml) of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans (like Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee) using a metal filter (like french press or gold filter drip)."

    https://blog.bulletproof.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/

    Bulletproof is a brand and a very specific recipe.

    What most people mean when saying this is a "keto coffee" or "fatty coffee".

    More commonly you make it with any single or combination of these ingredients in whatever quantities you find beneficial for appetite control or taste.

    Butter or ghee
    Coconut oil or MCT oil
    Heavy whipping cream or half n half

    I've even seen recipes adding cocoa powder and sweeteners and protein powders and all sorts of things. I really think these coffees need another name since they are so far removed from what bulletproof coffee actually is. And I say this as someone that doesn't drink the original kind either. I'm no purist by any means. It's just making it a little confusing I think.

    I've always called it keto coffee or Kevlar coffee... I couldn't get the latter to catch on despite it's brilliance. :smirk:

    Exactly as @Sunny_Bunny_ has said. Most people use the term Bulletproof Coffee or BPC to mean keto coffee. Think of someone saying "I'm going to Xerox something" when they aren't actually using a Xerox machine but some other brand of copier. Bulletproof is the brand and they have created their own MCT oil as well as their own coffee beans but the term is used more broadly.

    My recipe is: 1-2T heavy whipping cream, 1-2T MCT oil, 1T butter, stevia to my liking, dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract.

    I've done 2% cottage cheese, plain greek yogurt with berries, cinnamon and a tiny bit of SF maple syrup, smoothies (protein powder, almond milk, berries, spinach, avocado), BPC, bacon and eggs (if you want a lower calorie option you could do turkey bacon and eggs). You could do your egg sandwich and just do an open faced sandwich to save the calories from that extra slice of bread.

    I love kevlar coffee - lol

    I use "BPC" for ease, because, 3 letters! But I realize I'm not having a true bulletproof coffee.

    I often have eggs and bacon or canadian bacon, a sliced tomatoe if I'm in the mood for that. On weekends, I have eggs benedict without the English muffin if we go out to breakfast. I also like making egg muffins, there are a huge variety of those on all the low carb blogging sites. I also do IF somedays, just add HWC to my coffee and enjoy till lunchtime.

    I usually have a salad containing spring mix, tomato, pumpkin seeds, cheese, meatballs or chicken and olive oil or full fat Greek yogurt with stevia and a few berries or natural peanut butter.
