Benefits of a High Calorie Egg Breakfast

Making this recipe has several benefits.

1. You can make a meal for one person
2. Minimal cleaning required
3. High in calories and protein
4. Several variations available

Sometimes you just want to make a quick meal for yourself or someone you care for. You don’t want to use a ton of dishes and take a lot of time to make a meal. Instead of using a mixing bowl and pan, this recipe just calls for a coffee mug.

And if you use your non-stick cooking spray, when you are done eating you can just toss the mug in the dishwasher. It doesn’t get much easier.

This recipe has over 450 calories and 29 grams of protein per serving. And it’s not a large volume of food, so it’s pretty easy to finish. You can switch up the ingredients in this recipe for added variety (for info below).

Microwave Time

You may be surprised by how little time it takes to microwave this high calorie egg breakfast. It’s only 45 seconds, a quick stir, and a final 30 seconds to complete the cooking.

However, you may need to cook this dish for another 15-30 seconds or longer. A lot of this variation has to do with how strong your microwave is. I use a 1200-watt microwave. Most microwaves are between 600 and 1200 watts. Because mine is on the higher end, foods cook faster.

Once you make this recipe for the first time, note how long you had to cook it based on your microwave. Write down this information for making this dish in the future.

Nutritional Benefits of Eggs

Eggs are the focus of this recipe. Eggs are jam packed with good nutrition. For the sake of stopping unintended weight loss and promoting weight gain, eggs provide a healthy source of calories and protein. Protein along with resistance exercise can help to maintain muscle mass and prevent muscle loss.

A jumbo egg contains 90 calories. Since most people opt for eating 2 eggs at a time, providing 180 calories total. A jumbo egg also provides 8 grams of protein.

Other beneficial nutrients found in an egg include choline, biotin, B vitamins, and selenium.

Other Ways to Prepare Eggs

There are many ways to incorporate eggs into your daily diet. In addition to this microwavable high calorie egg breakfast, you can prepare eggs on the stove top.

Other Ways to Prepare Eggs:

• Scrambled
• Over easy
• Fried
• Poached
• Omelet

When cooking on the stove top use butter in the pan for added calories.

You can also hard boil eggs and eat them as a snack in between meals. You can cut up the hard-boiled eggs and make a tasty egg salad or egg salad sandwich. Or you can even make deviled eggs.

When cooking with eggs, be sure to use both the egg yolk and egg white unless you’ve been told to limit cholesterol by your doctor. The egg yolk provides the most calories. The egg whites are high in protein, but are missing a lot of the key nutrients found in eggs.
