Nutritionist’s Note + Pro Tips
Eggs are nature’s multivitamin — packed with protein, B vitamins, and healthy fats. Pairing them with high-fat ingredients keeps you satiated and in ketosis. This is one of the most efficient fat-burning breakfast options available.
- Pro Tip: Use silicone muffin liners to avoid sticking.
- Pro Tip: Sneak in some microgreens or collagen powder for added nutrition.
- Science Fact: Cholesterol from eggs doesn’t raise your blood cholesterol — your liver balances it naturally.
