Keto Tuna Breakfast Scramble – An easy low carb, high protein and high fat breakfast meal with loads of variations.
Keto Tuna Breakfast Scramble
This breakfast came about because I wanted to enjoy a big breakfast using up produce that needed to be used up before going away.
So, I put them all together in a Keto Tuna Breakfast Scramble. The results? Comforting deliciousness and a dish I’ll be recreating in future. Whether I have produce needing to be used or not!
Can I Eat Tuna On The Keto Diet?
You may be wondering about whether tuna is Keto Diet friendly. And, you’ll be thrilled to know that it is permissible to eat on the low carb, Ketogenic Diet. In fact I’ve often enjoyed a tin of tuna to help meet my protein macros as it’s almost pure protein with little to no carbs.
Be sure to check each tin of tuna carefully, as carbs and sugars can often be hidden in the oils, brines and flavours.
There are loads of easy keto friendly dishes that include tuna. Try this tuna salad or tuna casserole for starters.
