Whether it’s for breakfast on Sunday morning or dessert on Wednesday night, I’m ALL about french toast. It was my lifeline during my first competition prep and it’s been a must-have when those pregnancy egg aversions hit but I still needed to get in my protein. This protein-packed french toast is a healthy alternative to…

Recipe Review: SkinnyTaste Easy Bagels
I’m in a few IIFYM groups on Facebook and everyone keeps raving about SkinnyTaste’s Easy Bagel recipe. Our kitchen has been under renovation for a couple of weeks, so as soon as we got the green light to start using the counters again, I knew I had to give this recipe a try. I mean,…
Make-ahead Southwest Breakfast Burritos with Eggland’s Best Eggs
This post is sponsored by Eggland’s Best Eggs. Usually, my husband and I both travel Monday to Thursday for work – welcome to a two-consultant household! My travel has been scaled back a bit recently with new clients that prefer to do work remotely. Talk about a huge relief when you’re 3 months pregnant…
Egg White Bake
Let’s be honest. We don’t always have time in the morning to whip up a healthy breakfast, and even on the mornings we do, it may not be top of our priority list. Enter this healthy, hearty egg bake. It packs a HUGE protein punch, and is a great way to use up those spare stir fry or fajita night veggies. Split an entire casserole dish into 4 servings for a breakfast that reheats well {break a slice into 3-4 smaller sections and microwave for 1-2 min, then if you’re like me, smother in hot sauce}. Made per below, it’s only 4f/6c/18p per serving!
Want to mix it up a bit? Swap the ham for turkey sausage or crumbled bacon. Add in spinach and tomatoes and swap the cheddar for mozzarella for a little mediterranean flavor. Mix in some cottage cheese for extra fluffy eggs and even more protein.
Easy Breakfast Options
When I first started tracking macros last July, I ate the same meals. Every. Single. Day. It can really wear on you, and isn’t the whole point of flexible dieting the freedom to mix it up?! Knowing what to swap for what is difficult, though.
Thankfully, some of my fellow Grit Girls have let me into their daily diaries as input to a little data mining/programming project I’m working on {more to come on that}. Armed with data about what a lot of girls tend to eat in the morning, I’ve compiled a sampling of delicious, easy breakfast ideas. They’ve been modified to all hit similar macros targets, enabling easy swaps from one day to the next without jeopardizing the numbers you have saved up for other meals.
