What Did You Have For Breakfast?

A lot of fruit covered with yogurt. I'm probably 85% vegetarian type of guy so I really keep away from frying and red meat. Sorry all you beef-eaters! It seems that high protein and red meat is a good way to get a heart attack or so says several books I have been reading. Oh and don't forget to get your fiber and a good 8 hours of sleep. Sorry, don't mean to preach!

My grandson introduced me to Impossible Burger. I was shocked to find they're good! He advised against the Beyond Beef, tho'.

Hmmm, meatballs eh? Maybe next time.

To be clear, Impossible and Beyond burgers aren't particularly healthy food choices, though they beat beef burgers.
Grams of fat per 113g (4 oz) burger: Impossible: 13g, BB: 14g beef burgers: 23g.

Impossibles taste more like beef but I don't have a strong preference for either - I buy whichever is on sale.

Though I loved them before, I almost never eat burgers of any kind anymore, veggie burgers included. Just got out of the habit. DH & I rarely have burgers unless a family member is having a BBQ.

To make the meatballs, I defrost some of the burgers, add the bread crumbs, spices, etc. just as I would with meat-based meatballs, then fry them up in a smidge of oil so they don't stick. (They cook very fast). I freeze them on a cookie sheet to keep them from sticking together, then move them to a ziplock bag so they're ready to go.
 
Keto Coffee. Every morning.

In case anyone is interested. My current keto mix: 9gr Collagen, 19gr Whey, 3gr salt mix, 16gr butter, 9gr coconut oil, 14gr MCT oil, 36.5gr Whipping Cream, 2gr Deep Ocean Minerals, 800ml coffee. Macros: 47.9gr fat, 26.3gr protein, 1.8gr carbs, 544.25 kcals. I mix the salt, collagen and whey in my Bubba mug. I mix the butter, coconut & MCT oils, cream and minerals in a separate measuring cup. I heat the fats to melt everything, dump it onto the dry mix and stir into a smooth slurry. Add coffee and stir vigorously. Voila!
 
Coffee, the kind with caffeine. It's what I always have. I avoid eating food in the morning, it sets the wrong precident for the rest of the day. I've heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I don't know if that's true. I've heard a lot of things that aren't true, and if it is true..... well, it is what it is. I'm happier and get more exercise when I don't weigh a ton, and I could easily weigh a ton, especially with a hearty breakfast. I don't eat "hearty". I watch calories closely, and focus on nutrition. I feel better when I'm close to my ideal weight.

I don’t understand. Is this a healthy concoction? I understand the word keto (kinda). By the way, you look very healthy. Can you attribute that to this coffee? I sound so nosy and intrusive…sorry.
