3 Healthy Breakfast Recipes
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m showing you how to upgrade your breakfast with 3 easy and tasty breakfast ideas.
That’s right, it’s time to upgrade your bacon and eggs breakfast.
What Is The Meat And Nuts Breakfast?
All right, I’ve done numerous video posts on why you should start the day with the meat and nuts breakfast.

I learned about the Meat And Nuts breakfast protocol from Charles Poliquin.
Essentially, the meat and nuts breakfast strategy is simply eating a breakfast with foods high in:
Let’s call it the “PFF Breakfast”.
How To Get Sustainable Results From Eating A PFF Breakfast
The key to getting results from the PFF breakfast, just like with everything Live Lean related, is consistency.
Consistency creates lifestyle habits, and lifestyle habits create life-long results.
However most people confuse consistency, with the process of eating the same types of food, prepared the exact same way, everyday.
If that’s your definition of consistency, you’re bound to get absolutely bored with it, then you’ll go back to the box of Raisin Bran for breakfast.
The #1 Consistency Killer Is Boredom
My definition of consistency is following the big picture, which in this case is a breakfast high in foods containing protein, fat, and fiber.
Consistency is not eating the same cut of steak and the same nuts prepared the same way, everyday.
It’s important to have more variety in your diet, to not only to reduce boredom, but also to get the variety of nutrients in your diet.
With that said, here are a few meat and nuts breakfast ideas to add more variety to your diet.
Upgrade Your Breakfast With 3 Easy And Tasty Breakfast Ideas
Here are 3 ways to upgrade your meat and nuts breakfast, so you never get bored of eating the same breakfast again.
#1. Vary The Types Of Protein And How You Prepare It
The best sources of protein are those high in essential amino acids, especially the prime muscle building amino acid, Leucine.
Protein sources high in essential amino acids include:
One day you could have beef for breakfast, by following this steak and eggs recipe.
Then another day you could have chicken for breakfast, and so on.
If this sounds like a lot of work, don’t worry.
Simply use the leftover meat from last night’s dinner, and add it to your breakfast.
Breakfast Recipe To Upgrade Your Beef
Rather than just frying up your steak with boring spices in the morning, I want you to cook this delicious steak recipe for dinner the night before, in bulk.
By cooking in bulk, you can then enjoy the steak again for breakfast, the next morning.

#2. Vary The Types Of Fat And How You Prepare It
There are many types of nuts, that all different micronutrient properties and flavors.
It’s important to have a variety.
Try pistachios, macadamias, or pine nuts.
Or skip the nuts, and go with other healthy fat sources such as:
- avocado oil and avocados
- coconut oil
- olive oil
- or add a few eggs

But rather than doing the standard scrambled eggs, like we all do, let’s upgrade your eggs to poached eggs.

I have issues with breakfast… I always feel so sick in the morning its so
hard to keep food down just the taught of food makes me nauseated I know I
should eat protein but the thought of putting a animal in my mouth is to
much wich is why I always eat just crackers any advise for people who have
a problem eating
What if I’m a pescetarian???
I used to think high Protein diets were the way to go in terms of getting
lean and fit, but people tend to forget how acidic animal products are on
your body. That’s why I try to eat vegan and follow a plant based diet
since fruit and vegetables are very alkaline. Plus, a vegan diet gives you
a healthy glow, something which high protein diets won’t ever do.
Is it ok to eat so many egg yolks?, I usually eat 3 boiled eggs but only
one yolk.
i really strugle with lunch
I always seem to have trouble wirh dinner.. i get home late and like to go
ro sleep early. I’m ro hungry to skip dinner but at 7pm it’s late to start
cooking. I was thinking about shakes but i dont know if that would be a
good idea.
This morning I had leftover Popeye’s Fried Chicken…skin removed…put the
pieces of chicken breast in a pan with a sliced HB egg, chalets, onion
season mix and a dab of cream. 5 min, Bam! …very tasty and low carb. And
I didn’t buy the chicken …the household food waster did. You can use the
food wasters castoffs if you know how to get the trash calories off of it
or separate it from the trash calories.
silly question, but how would you reheat the steak? In the microwave?
Anytime I do that it always comes out hard and chewy. Any suggestions?
Thanks and great video!
Struggle with breakfast, often don’t have enough time to cook a meal, and I
end up taking a shake on the go
Fresh presentation, nice work.
These alternative videos are good
Breakfast is my most favorite meal, but I hate dinners
Thnaks for the tips. Poached eggs looks great.
Awesome thanks!
You need to come over with Jess and I will make the both of you some coconut flour waffles and grass-fed beef bacon!! Bring some eggs YO!
(Nice YouTube Space video!!)
oh no, I accidentally hit the dislike button, my cat jumped on the table
and moved my hand. I clicked it again so I hope it came off. I did enjoy
your video.
I have finally got my meals all figured out. You two have been a big part
of that. I am lucky, I don’t get tired of meals very easily. I do change
up my protein and the nuts each day as well. I also have a different type
of tea each morning as well. I just make subtle changes each day. Great
tips. Thanks for the vid.
i struggle with my nutella cravings hhihi oopsies
Eating on a budget is definitely the number 1 hardest thing to do!!!
I struggle with dinner, never get satisfied. Thanks for great breakfast
tips. 😉
