1) Eggs
One large fried egg contains 90 calories, 6.8 gm fat, 0.4 gm carbs, 6.3 gm protein
Eggs are pretty much the number one choice for a healthy nutritious breakfast for people on the Atkins diet as they are not only low on carbs, but they are good sources of protein containing all of the essential amino acids that humans need and fats that raise the good HDL cholesterol which is good for cardiovascular health. It is also a fantastic source of choline which helps build up every cell’s surrounding membrane and enhances signaling between neurons in the brain. The egg yolk is filled with lutein and zeaxanthin which are powerful antioxidants and a high content of vitamin A necessary for eye health.
There are many ways to eat eggs but for the sake of increasing the fat content fried or scrambled eggs are great choices every morning or an omelet with healthy colorful vegetables and cheese makes it even tastier and healthier.
