Notes
The “rules” that make it work:
- Refined-sugar-free tip: keep breakfast savory or lightly sweet using fruit (skip syrups most days).
- Satiety rule: if you’re hungry again soon, you need more protein + fat, not more bread.
- Meal prep: cook one base (buckwheat/rice/gluten free oats or an egg bake) and one topping and breakfast becomes 5 minutes all week.
- Calories vary: depends on bread brand, portion size, and protein choice, aim for a balanced plate.
- Watch the video as an example.
