Breakfast for Performance

When I'm going to be working out later in the day, I know I need a hearty breakfast to fuel my performance. Being celiac cuts out many options here, but not to worry. Cereals are poor performance foods, and bagels are loaded with the wrong type of carbs, so being celiac actually helps restrict you to healthy foods.





This meal is loaded with healthy carbs, fiber, protein, and flavor! The carbohydrates used here are low GI foods, meaning they will keep you full and keep your blood sugar stable.

Serves 2:

1 c. Diced pre-cooked potatoes (use sweet potatoes, or purple ones like I have!)
1 c. Kidney Beans (rinse and drain)
1/4 c. Onion - diced
3 Eggs (organic or farm fresh)
1 handful Parsley
1/4 c. Sharp Cheddar - shredded
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper

Saute the oinons, beans, and potato in the oil. Stir frequently to avoid burning. You want the potatoes to get a bit crispy. When this happens, crack the eggs in the skillet over the sauteing ingredients. Let the eggs cook until the whites become solid. Add the parsley, cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired preference. Enjoy!
