The Best Breakfast For Weight Loss
Meat And Nuts Breakfast Omelet Recipe
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m showing you how to make the best breakfast for weight loss, that will not only help you lose fat and build muscle, it’ll also help keep you feeling full and reduce hunger cravings all day long.
I’m often asked, what is the best breakfast for weight loss?
Before I share my opinion, and the exact breakfast that I love to eat, this probably flies in the face of what you hear in the mainstream media.
Here’s a little story.

Approximately 3 years ago, I remember seeing a day time talk show segment where a dude came on and shared his best breakfast for weight loss.
His breakfast consisted of a small serving of egg whites and a small handful of blueberries.
After seeing what he shared, it was 100% clear to me that his strategy on weight loss was 100% focused on calorie restriction.
Our Sustainable Approach To Weight Loss Isn’t Just About Calorie Deprivation
Yes, calorie restriction is necessary for weight loss, but there is no way a tiny serving of food would be enough to keep you feeling full and energized.
Here on Live Lean TV, we prefer to go about weight loss in an entirely different way.
Let’s be real, our testimonials don’t lie.
We focus on eating one ingredient, satiating foods, that are high in:
- Muscle building and calorie blasting protein
- Brain healthy and hunger crushing healthy fat
- Energizing vegetables high in fiber and micronutrients
Trust me, when you see the delicious ingredients that go into making this breakfast, and the volume and quantity of food you will be eating, you will be shocked that you will lose weight eating this.
However, here’s the thing.
How Much Protein Is Ideal For Breakfast?
Study after study shows a breakfast with at least 30g of protein, that is not high in carbohydrates, is better for:
- Weight loss
- Muscle building
- Sustained energy all day long
Even though this is a higher calorie breakfast than you’re probably used to, check this out:
- Your blood sugar and insulin will be balanced, meaning your sugar cravings will be kept in check.
- You won’t feel as hungry throughout the day, meaning you’ll consume less hunger inducing junk food at night.
This means you will be eating less overall calories by the end of the day.
Winning!

Ingredients

- Note: If you are looking to save time in the morning, cook the ground beef mixture the night before.
- Add pan to the stove over medium heat.
- Add 1 pound of 85/15 organic ground beef to a heated pan over medium high, break it up to crumble the beef, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Dice 4 cloves of garlic and 1/3 cup of red onion, mix the garlic and red onion together, add the mixture to the pan while cooking the ground beef, and stir.
- To season the beef mixture, add a dash of sea salt, black pepper, and your favorite dried herbal mix seasoning, for example Mrs. Dash, then stir.
- Cook the ground beef mixture for a total time of 6-8 minutes, or until everything is cooked thoroughly, then remove from heat.
- Portion out the meat mixture by splitting it into 4 equal portions, then once they are cooled down, store 3 of the portions in the fridge to use for leftovers in future breakfasts.
- Crack 3 organic eggs into a bowl, then beat them together.
- Using the same pan as the ground beef, cover pan with with 1 tsp of coconut oil over medium low heat.
- Add another dash of your favorite dried herbal mix seasoning into the pan.
- Add the 3 mixed eggs to the pan, then top with a little more of your favorite dried herbal mix seasoning.
- Cook the eggs for 1-2 minutes, then flip the omelet and cook for another minute.
- Top the omelet with 2 tbsp of salsa, then spread it evenly to cover the omelet.
- Top the omelet with a handful of arugula, then one portion of the ground beef mixture.
- Add another dash of your favorite dried herbal mix seasoning to the top.
- Top with hot sauce to taste.
- Remove the omelet from the pan by sliding it onto a plate.

Damn that’s good.
Save Time By Pre-Cooking The Meat The Night Before
Wait a minute.
Before you say, “I don’t have time to make meat like that in the morning”, you can make the ground beef mixture the night before, then store it in tupperware in your fridge, then simply add the pre-cooked meat to your breakfast.
Isn’t That A Lot Of Calories For A Weight Loss Meal?
Yes, it may seem like a lot of calories for one weight loss meal, but it’ll make you eat less junk food and less calories later in the day.
This means your total daily calories will still be in a calorie deficit.
To reduce the calories, remove the macadamia nuts and avocado slices.
What If I’m Not That Hungry In The Morning?
If you’re not used to eating breakfast, or this amount of breakfast, trust me, your body will eventually adapt to craving this amount of food in the morning.
If you are intermittent fasting, eat this as your first meal after you break your fast in the afternoon.
Creating healthy habits is all about consistency people.
Healthy Recipe Food Swaps
This is just one version of the meat and nuts breakfast, which I consider the best breakfast for weight loss.

You can use different ingredients, but just make sure they’re compatible.
Think “PFF”:
- Protein
- Fat
- Fiber
For example, if you don’t want to eat:
- Organic ground beef: swap it with something high in protein, such as organic chicken or turkey.
- Macadamia nuts: swap it with almonds or another source of healthy fat, such as avocado.
- Arugula: swap it with another fibrous vegetable, such as spinach.
Plus, all the calorie free spices and sauces like mustard, salsa, and sriracha, are optional.
Make the recipe work for you.
