There is nothing I dislike more than waking up in the morning, ravenous and scrambling to make something to eat. The reason why I sometimes tend to be really hungry in the morning is because I stop eating at a fairly early time the previous day. It can be as early as 3 pm until no later than 7 pm. And by the time I wake up and get out of bed from my morning routine, I can be very hungry near 9am. 

I decided that I need to combine a list of healthy options, and thus ideas, for these kinds of mornings all while eating healthy and at times, ketogenic. 

In this post, I go through many variations of easy 3-ingredient keto breakfast ideas and I give you the calories for the different selections. In case you are embarking in a weight loss journey such as I.

These breakfast ideas are very low on carbohydrates and sugar (not more than 2 and 1 gram respectively), high on healthy fats, as well as high on protein. Plus, romaine lettuce leaves are used as bread (and other carbohydrates) substitute.

Either way, these Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Breakfast Ideas are for eating healthy and nutritious quick breakfast regardless of weightless, gain or maintain. 

Additionally, the app I used to record and screenshot the calories from is the “Lose It!” app. 

Material

• Small egg pan

Making the eggs is easy and quick. I use a small mini egg pan and accordingly I fry one or two eggs with a little bit of coconut oil. 

You can use the same mini pan to fry the bacon in its natural oil – and then fry the egg too. That’s an option as well if you decide to go with bacon instead of the salmon option (all options and their combination listed below.)
