FAQs

Can I have a high-protein keto breakfast without eggs?

You can absolutely enjoy a high-protein keto breakfast, without the need for eggs. Meats like steak and breakfast sausage are obvious alternatives, but you can also turn to cheese and nuts to up your protein intake.

One the best things about the latter is that you can sneak them into lots of meals. For example, you can mix a spoonful of peanut or almond butter into your N’oatmeal, add some to your smoothie, or slather it on low-carb cereal bits.

Is there a keto-friendly substitute for eggs?

You can’t fry them up like traditional eggs, but you can use “flax eggs” in a variety of other keto breakfast ideas.

Made from water and ground flax seeds, “flax eggs” can offer the gooey constituency that some low-carb breakfast recipes, like pancakes and bagels, need.

Is it possible to eat too many eggs on a keto diet?

We get it: You’re tired of eggs! But as far as whether it’s possible to eat too many, the answer falls squarely on “maybe”. Eggs are high in cholesterol, so if you’re having issues keeping your LDL in check, you’ll want to limit your egg intake to three or fewer per day.

Outside of that, over-consumption of any food can lead to tummy troubles like bloating and vomiting. It’s always best to vary your diet to ensure proper nutrient intake and to keep from getting bored.
