I am 90-95% meat-based in my diet.

Bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs. Or steak and eggs. Or ham and eggs. Man, I am getting hungry!!!!

The ultimate hack is to fry up four pieces of bacon in a cast iron, and then whisk 9-12 whole eggs and pour them directly into the grease and scramble them up. The flavor is amazing and the eggs stay super moist with all the good bacon grease. Plus then you don't have to dispose of the grease.

I've had eggs and some sort of meat for breakfast every single day for decades. Amazing nutrient-dense start for the day.
