What Can You Eat For Breakfast on Keto?

Many people start a ketogenic diet because the idea of fasting all day is much more appealing than counting carbs and calories. The ketogenic diet involves a process called "ketosis" in which the body burns fat instead of glucose from carbohydrates to produce energy.

When you're following a keto diet, you should aim to get at least 70 percent of your daily calories from fat. You should also try to limit carbs to 20-30 grams per day, and protein intake should be moderate (0.7-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day).

This article will provide you with a list of some tasty breakfast options that are keto-friendly!

* When at all possible, try to buy organic and grass-fed food

Omelets

Omelets are a great choice for breakfast on a keto diet. Simply scramble some eggs with coconut oil and add in leftover meats or vegetables (if you're following the carnivore diet). The possibilities really are endless! Some suggestions:

* Bacon and cheese omelet with avocado

* Tomato, basil, and butter omelet

* Spinach, mushroom, onion, and pepper omelet (add sausage or bacon)

Casseroles

Breakfast casseroles are another great keto-friendly breakfast option. You can make this ahead of time and then heat it up in the morning before you head out the door. Some great examples are:

* Cauliflower hash browns with bacon and eggs (coconut oil or butter can be used to fry the cauliflower)

* Spinach, mushroom, onion, and pepper casserole (add sausage or bacon)

* Pork rind crust quiche

One-pot meals

* Bacon and egg casserole (bacon grease can be used to cook the eggs)

* Shakshuka (eggs cooked in tomato sauce)

* Chicken sausage, kale, and vegetable stew (use coconut oil or ghee to saute vegetables)

Pancakes, waffles, bread, etc.

Sure, traditional breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles are not on the keto diet. But you can use almond flour or coconut flour (in moderation) to make keto-friendly substitutes for these types of foods.

* Almond flour pancake with berries (drizzle with honey or preserve)

* Keto pancakes

* Zucchini bread

* Almond flour waffles with berries (drizzle with honey or preserve)

Coconut oil and coconut milk are great for making creamy sauces that can be used to top various kinds of eggs. Some suggestions:

* Creamy spinach, mushroom, onion, and pepper egg bake (add sausage or bacon)

* Shakshuka (eggs cooked in tomato sauce)
