non-processed meat for breakfast (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for ideas for a non-processed meat that goes well with breakfast. In the past, I had bacon, eggs, and maybe some oats or a salad. I cut the traditional bacon, and now have either beans or turkey bacon as my "breakfast meat". But, turkey bacon is still really high in sodium (and is a processed meat) and beans just don't satisfy that meat craving sometimes. And substituting a different meat has been kinda hard; chicken breast, while unprocessed, just doesn't go well with breakfast.

So, I just wanted to know what other people do for breakfast, if they struggle with this dilemna, and any feedback the community has.

Thanks!

Salt isn't actually bad for you. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/salt-guide

A breakfast scramble of eggs and some beef is a good option, for me.

For the nonfatty meats like chicken you can combine them with some fat to make them taste better, I e. Sour cream, avocado, etc

Can do a quick grill up of some lamb or beef in the morning if you want something really fresh.

I'm not very impressed by those studies stating salt isn't bad. Either weak evidence, or odd choice of framing the data. Regardless, I'm trying to stick to the FDA and WHO recommendations to lower my sodium intake.

I like the idea of adding other fats to chicken to make them tastier though. I'm going to try to see if I can come up with anything for chicken and breakfast
