At 3000kcal a day, 650kcal is just what I need. I could probably eat even more. If you do a lot of cycling, I suppose you'd get +3000kcal a day, a 650kcal breakfast would be a minimum. It's a huge breakfast and just what you need after a long night without food. Great way to start the day. Try eating smaller meals before sleeping, makes you more hungry on waking up. Andrew,

But are you eating the entire skillet by yourself? I'm getting into cycling, and I consume my share of calories (esp. for a 24-year-old guy), but that seems like a huge breakfast. Maybe my meals are really that out-of-whack. Andrew This looks like a great recipe. But are you eating the entire skillet by yourself?

Same here: high protein, high fat, no carbs. Better health, less inflammation, less tired, leaner,... Only advantages to me. Eggplants are delicious to me, but you can't discuss tastes of course. I had eggs with bell peppers this morning ;-) Thanks for sharing Steve.

(I've eliminated bread, potatoes, and grains). I like the eggs and garlic - I just can't get onboard with the egg plant. I've tried, but eating eggplant to me is kind of like eating nopales (cactus), or squashes - the texture and bland flavors just don't appeal to me. I think I'll stick to bell peppers.

The 50g fat comes from: * 1 tablespoon argan oil = 15g fat * 6 whole eggs = 35g fat If you're on a typical 30P/40C/30F diet, 50g fat might be too much. You could remove the yolk, but that would also remove all the vitamins. I'd recommend going for less argan oil/less eggs. I don't consume a lot of carbs (less than 100g a day), so this kind of breakfast perfectly fits me. Eq_909 thanks for the question.

I try to get +/-30% of my daily calorie intake from fat, meaning that 50 grams would already make up for >40% of my daily fat. Maybe swap 2-4 whole eggs for only the eggwhite?
