6 Best Fat Loss Breakfasts

#1 The egg option

The humble egg packs a powerful punch as a fat-loss breakfast. Full of nutrients, brimming with protein and crammed with healthy fats, we had to put them at number one.

Scramble ‘em, fry ‘em, boil ‘em or even throw ‘em in an omelet. We never get bored of eggs. This versatile food is one of our favorite ways to pack in all those essential nutrients first thing in the morning and set you up for the day.

In this egg-based breakfast, we’ll show you how to make a healthy, high-protein omelet.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Mix everything together in a bowl.
2. Heat a small amount of your chosen oil in a pan and be sure to coat the whole surface.
3. Add the mixture to the pan, ensure it covers the whole area and keep on the heat until the egg is cooked all the way through.

Tip: If you’ve got the skills, flip your omelet half way through to ensure it’s cooked evenly on both sides. If you don’t have the skills, don’t worry girl, we’re not all born chefs. Just put it under a grill to cook the top for the last five minutes.

#2 The “cheat” option

For this fat-loss breakfast, we’re going down the route of a hearty, nutrient packed dish based around chicken sausages. They’re lean, tasty and high in protein. It might feel like a cheat meal, but the fact is this one is perfect for fat loss.

It goes without saying meat is one of the main sources of protein available, but we said it anyway. If you want to mix it up and try another meat-based fat-loss breakfast we’d say stick with leaner meats. They’ll have less calories per pound and are packed with muscle growing protein.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Cook your sausages in the recommended method
2. As the sausages cook, whisk your two eggs and your egg white together in a mixing bowl
3. Pour them into a shallow non-stick pan and add a handful of spinach and cook over a medium heat
4. Keep the eggs moving with a wooden spoon until you have scrambled eggs
5. Serve the eggs with the sausages for a tasty guilt-free “cheat” breakfast

Tip: Turn this one into a skillet and cut up your sausages, throw in some peppers, onions and peppers for a twist on this tasty dish.

#3 The speedy option

Girl, sometimes it’s pretty much impossible to think about making a full breakfast first thing in the morning. You’re exhausted and you’re too hangry to think about cooking – and you’re probably still asleep.

Don’t worry girl, we’ve got you covered with a breakfast that gets you all your macros, without taking you ages to cook.

Meet protein and oats, or proats. It’s tasty, it’s quick and it’s got everything you need to hit a fat-loss breakfast:

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Cook the oats and the liquid to your desired oatmeal consistency. Microwave for speed and ease, or cook in a pan if you’re feeling fancy.
2. Add your whey protein and a little extra liquid if it’s needed and mix well until the powder is completely incorporated.
3. Add your frozen berries to the top for a refreshing twist on the dish.

Tip: If you’re vegan, find a plant-based protein and use water or almond milk to create an animal-friendly version of this warming fat-loss breakfast.

#4 The gram-worthy option

If you’ve got more of a sweet tooth, but you still want to make some serious gains, then high protein yoghurts are the perfect fat loss breakfast for you. They’ll help curb your cravings without breaking your diet.

Perfect the yogurt bowl and you’ll soon be part of the mouthwatering #yogurtbowl revolution on Instagram.

These days, there are high-protein yogurts in every supermarket. Add these to your shopping cart and you’ll soon have an easy snack to support your diet or the perfect breakfast to start you off.

The temptation with this is to add loads of granola to the top. You can, but just be aware that a lot of these products contain big helpings of sugar. If you’re keeping your calories down, opt for a low sugar variety or go for fresh fruit for added fiber.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Pour your Greek yoghurt into a bowl
2. Top with an array of your favorite fruits for a fresh, high protein, high fiber start to your day

Tip: Add a touch of savory flavor to your bowl and sprinkle the dish with unsweetened coconut shavings, nuts or a helping of peanut butter.

We hear you girl, it sounds kinda strange to just have a bowl of cheese for breakfast. But if you know how to work with it, this one can be a sweet delight.

Not only is it super tasty and full of all those essential nutrients we keep banging on about, it’s super quick and easy to prepare. Follow our recipe and find out for yourself.
