Our Favorite Father’s Day Breakfast Ideas<\/h2>\n

Traditional Eggs and Bacon<\/h3>\n

What guy doesn\u2019t love a plate of bacon and eggs?<\/p>\n

While this may not sound healthy, it\u2019s all about how you prepare it!<\/p>\n

It seems like every year the evidence goes back and forth between whether or not eggs are healthy.<\/p>\n

A 2020 study from the Journal of the American Heart Association found no significant link between egg consumption and mortality<\/a> in US adults.<\/p>\n

This latest research supports that eggs can definitely be part of a well-balanced diet.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not just talking about egg whites!<\/p>\n

While egg whites are definitely lower in fat, they also lack nutrients that are found in the yolk.<\/p>\n

In fact, the yolk contains the majority of iron, folate, and vitamins. Egg yolks, but not whites, also include hard to get nutrients like choline and biotin.<\/p>\n

Plus, eggs are the most complete protein you can consume, as they contain all of the essential amino acids your body needs for muscle building.<\/p>\n

If you are looking to cut back on calories, just split up your recipe. If you are making 4 eggs, use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites.<\/p>\n

This compromise decreases the fat content while still giving your hubby the benefits of all the protein and nutrients found in the entire egg.<\/p>\n

Simply whisk the eggs and separated egg whites together and pour them into a greased pan.<\/p>\n

You can use a non-stick, non-fat spray to avoid adding unnecessary calories and fat.<\/p>\n

Gently stir the eggs as they cook to create the desired texture.<\/p>\n

As for the bacon, choose lean turkey bacon.<\/p>\n

You can season it up to add a little more flavor and cut back on saturated fat significantly when compared to using regular bacon.<\/p>\n

Breakfast Tacos<\/h3>\n

Combine your man\u2019s two favorite meals and whip up some breakfast tacos on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Just scramble up some eggs (or a combination of eggs and whites) and roll them up in whole grain, high fiber tortilla.<\/p>\n

The beauty of making eggs into a sandwich or taco is that you can also sneak in some healthy veggies to up the nutrient value even more.<\/p>\n

Top off your taco with avocado, onion, and turkey bacon for the ultimate healthy breakfast taco.<\/p>\n

To make these, just prepare your eggs as you did above by whisking either whole eggs or egg whites together and cooking in a greased pan.<\/p>\n

Add a spoonful or two of scrambled eggs to a whole wheat tortilla or wrap. Then add in whatever veggies you like!<\/p>\n

Healthy topping options include things like avocado, onion, bell peppers, and spinach.<\/p>\n

Avocado is great on tacos and contains healthy omega-3 fats along with B vitamins, magnesium, and potassium.<\/p>\n

And many people don\u2019t realize that onions contain quercetin, which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.<\/p>\n\t\t

Sweet Potato and Egg Skillet<\/h3>\n

Potatoes for breakfast in the form of hash browns or home fries is a delicious go-to on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Substituting sweet potatoes gives the meal an additional boost in the antioxidant vitamin A.<\/p>\n

Adding in some spinach, onion, and green peppers to the potatoes will give the dish a dose of vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, iron, and calcium.<\/p>\n

Just crack a few eggs on top to complete the perfect Father\u2019s Day breakfast skillet.<\/p>\n
