hi:
Breakfast for me (keto about 8 weeks) has often been keto/bulletproof coffee with 1 avocado.
I just realized that that is about 18g carbs, which is probably too high for 1 meal.
what other recommendation do you have for EASY (OK, LAZY!) keto breakfast? I don’t really want to cook eggs, etc. Something I can grab and eat in 10 minutes or so.
thanks and KETO ON!
A whole avocado by itself could be enough to knock some people out of ketosis. Measuring is the only way to know, but to answer your question on a breakfast. 3 eggs, 2 pieces bacon, and half an avocado is 436 calories with macros of 67% fat, 26% protein, and 7% carbs. You could easily up the fat with some cheese on the eggs, depending how you do with dairy. I’ve seen some recipes for avocado cups, which is basically an egg, cheese, meet scramble piled inside the avocado and baked. The possibilities with avocado at breakfast are endless!
And eggs and bacon take me about 10 minutes, but something easier might be throwing some avocado, coconut oil, coconut milk, nuts, and cocoa powder in a blender with ice for a morning smoothie. You could also pre prep the scramble for the stuffed avocado so in the morning you throw in the oven for 10 min. Doing keto right or eating right in general typically requires some effort in the kitchen, but it doesn’t need to be a lot
Make sure you’re eating Haas avocados, and not those awful wet shiny things!
146g of Haas is only 2g carbs. Eating a whole medium Hass is just fine!
Shoot, just throw in a couple more slices of bacon.
Who can only have two slices anyway?
Haha no problem with that here, I’m more of a 4 slice guy then fry the eggs in the bacon fat. Cooks perfect all under 10 minutes!
does blending the avocado not deliver the crabs to fast, due to the body not having to break down the fiber
Yes, blending up fruits and veggies is basically like pre digesting. The fiber is still intact unlike juicing, but the broken down fiber makes both nutrients and sugars easier and quicker to absorb. So to be safe, maybe don’t use a whole avocado and combinding it with all of the recommended fat is going to lower the insulin effect.
You’d need to. You need the fat after you char all that good fat out of your bacon.
Some macro info on the internet conflicts with others. Sometimes I see that 100% of carbs in avocados is fiber. Other time 75% is fiber. Anyone know what the truth is?
Not sure why but it seems that Florida (east coast) avocados are 24g and California (west coast) avocados are 12g of carbs from what I can find. With this logic, it would be determined by geography? Here’s a fiber link- http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/type-fiber-avocado-5799.html
