It’s been said time and time again that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – and for good reason. Registered dietitians encourage clients to eat breakfast every day to not only give them the energy to start the day, but a solid breakfast routine can help people lose weight, lower their cholesterol, and lowers the likelihood to overeat and a snack later in the day.

When following a keto diet, the goal is to get your body to go into ketosis. This means that you’ll be burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. To allow your body to stay in this fat-burning mode, it’s important to fuel your body with fats to allow the continued ketone production to occur. Keto breakfasts, however, can be challenging especially when you’re on-the-go. However, with a bit of planning, a keto breakfast can be simple and delicious.
With the following keto and dietitian-approved breakfasts, your taste buds, waistline, and ketone levels will thank you!
