Bottom Line
Keto breakfasts don’t come much better than steak and eggs. Just one serving should provide you with about a third of your daily protein requirement, and all that healthy fat will keep you feeling full until lunch. Steak and eggs are also naturally very low in carbs, so they won’t derail your ketogenic weight loss diet.
You can use almost any type of steak for this meal, including sirloin, flank, and skirt steak. Choose thinner cuts of meat as they cook more quickly. Take care not to overcook your steak, though, as it could dry out and become tough. Medium rare is usually best and actually healthier than well done. Overcooked steak contains carcinogens and is best avoided.
