Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

0

I am new to Paleo and have been looking up a number of breakfast recipe's off the internet, which have worked out really well. However, for the last week I have been chopping up nuts and eating it like cereal with almond milk for breakfast, as well as one whole avocado. I know both are high in Omega-3 fats, but is eating both of these a staple in the morning too much? I quickly fall into routines, so unless I learn that this is overkill, I will likely continue this as my staple breakfast on a daily basis.

The mix of nuts is about 1/4 cup of Walnuts, 2 Tbsp Almonds, 1 Tbsp Macadamia nuts, 1 Tbsp, almond milk and a touch pure grade-b maple syrup.

I'm tall and have always been on the leaner side. I'd be interested in leaning out a little bit more, but definitely didn't go Paleo in order to lose weight, so much as for the health benefits.

Thanks

Correction: nuts and avocado are quite low in omega 3 fats. They are actually composed more of monounsaturated and omega-6 fats.

Now, to answer the question, definitely one or the other. However, just eating fat for breakfast is not very substantial. A more balanced breakfast might look something more along the lines of a soft boiled egg, a serving of fruit, and a handful of almonds.

Hope that helps you out some!

That sounds like a lot of nuts! How about a hard-boiled egg, some chopped apples and berries with some slivered almonds and coconut milk on top?

Your title made me envision an avocado-based cereal. Yuck.

Skip breakfast and you won't have to decide.

One or the other or both? Avocado or nut based cereal in the morning?
