Most susages are also high in fat and salt, so I don’t know that eating them every morning would be a healthy switch. I’d feel heavy afterward. They are also high in nitrites, which lead to carcinogens… should be fine if eaten occasionally, or so I tell myself lol.
At the end of the day, it’s whatever works for you. And it’s worth trying different things.
Protein takes longer to metabolize into energy than carbs, hence you don’t crash like with carbs. Starchy veggies give you carbs, low-carb veggies don’t have protein or carbs so you’ll just be extra tired.
Who in this economy is eating too much protein?
Too much is like 3 large chicken breasts or 5 beef patties per day for a 150lb person.
This thread rightly points out all the excesses of capital-fueled social trends.
Less mentioned is that a higher protein breakfast ~20-30g vs traditional carb-heavy breakfast is actually helpful for more stable morning energy (less sugar crash), cognitive clarity, and reduced snack cravings especially later in the day. Search any of your reputable health sources and you’ll likely find something to that effect. I don’t believe it’s particularly disputed at this point.
People don’t depend on restaurant businesses for sustenance, thats what they depend on grocery/farming businesses for as you already show. People buy time, energy, and enjoyable experiences from restaurant businesses.
If I have a craving for tacos, this craving has to hit me at a convenient enough time for me to plan a recipe and shopping list (15min for my brain), go to the grocery store (30 min), put things away and clean limited kitchen space cause I’m always behind on chores (10 min), chop prep pico de Gallo spice and saute beef toast shells assemble garnish (60 min cause my efficiency sucks), clean up and pack leftover (20 min). That’s over 2 hours after a work day when I just wanted to turn off my brain and eat tacos, so now I’m even more exhausted. And I actually like cooking.
It used to be you could spend ~0.5x more for cheap takeout to save yourself the time, energy, and mental effort of doing it yourself. Now it costs 2-3x more. That cost increase is part of what people are pissed about.
This is stupid advice.
