LCHF-friendly egg muffins

Today I’m going to share with you my egg muffin recipe. They are delishious, great for packed lunches or days when you don’t have time to cook breakfast. Really low in carbs and a good source of fat and protein.

The recipe makes 12 big egg muffins.

 

What do you need?

  • 10 eggs

  • 50 g of grated cheese

  • 250 g of ground pork

  • 160 g aka 1 red bell pepper

  • salt

  • pepper

  • ground paprica

  • baking powder

  • a little bit of oil

 

How do you make them?

First of all you crack your 10 eggs into a big bowl, add salt and baking powder. Whisk until nice and fluffy like so:

Put the egg mixture aside. Then chop up your red bell pepper into small pieces.

Fry it for some time in some oil in a pan with a dash of salt until the pepper gets nicely caramelized and soft.

Now add in ground pork, add pepper, ground paprica and salt. NB! Be cafeful with salt, you already have salt in the egg mixture. Break the ground pork into small pieces while frying it.

Now you are ready to assemble your egg muffins. I buttered my muffin tin really well but they still got stuck a little bit. If you have good muffins liners, use those. I can’t seem to find any that do not get stuck on the muffin.

Divide your meat filling evenly, then sprinkle the tops with grated cheese. If you like them really cheesey, use more cheese, 50 grams isn’t that much, just adds a little flavour.

Put you muffins in the oven for about 25 minutes at 180–200C.

Enjoy!

 

What about nutrition?

The whole recipe is 1762 kcal 150 g of protein, 14 g of carbs (of which 4 g is fiber), 121 g of fat.

1 muffin is 147 kcal, 12,5 g of protein, 1,2 grams of carbs, 10 g of fat.

Workout Week 8.–14.07.2013

In Workout Week posts I will tell you everything about my last week’s workouts.

Monday was technically rest day so I just had an hour long walk with my dog.

Tuesday I did a regular 30 minute walk and then went running for an hour. It was a really good run until I was attacked by a big dog. I have been attacked previously so I was really really upset after that so the last kilometre of my run was a walk because I couldn’t run after the incident. I also lost my expensive headphones on the way somehow. Basically I was on my last kilometre and then I saw a big black dog jump over the fence and run toward me. I stopped and just stood there, not moving even my eyes. It went away, came back, went away, came back… Just barked at me, angry. I was so afraid it was going to jump in my face. Fortunately the owner eventually came and took the dog. He wasn’t even sorry! I screamed in his face pretty much. Not proud about that but I was shaking all over my body. Now I can’t run there anymore. So I had to look for another 7K lap. Finally I found one. I shoud start carrying pepper spray or something…

Wednesday had my regular walk and Zumba class. 

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I was travelling and volunteering on the small island of Kihnu, far away from home. Thursday would have been restday anyways, I was exhausted when we finally got to the island after a day of travelling with 3 buses and a boat. Friday and Saturday I couldn’t work out because we had no time for that, however my working days were long, I had to walk quite the bit and stand on feet all day long. Sunday was travelling back home again and in the evening I went running on my new lap that is kind of boring but safer when it comes to dogs running around. Had really sore legs from working on previous days.

So in total I had only 3 work out days. That is way too little for me.

 

In total:

2 hours of walking (+ a lot on the island)

2 hours of running

1 hour of Zumba

 

Not a great week at all. Hopefully next week is better.
