    Breakfast Power bowl with eggs, blueberries, roasted sweet potatoes recipe by foodology geek

    This fast and easy PALEO BREAKFAST POWER BOWL will have you fueled up in no time. Whether you’re following a Paleo diet or doing a Whole 30 or you just want to eat healthy, clean food, this breakfast is perfect for you.

    Paleo Breakfast Bowl Recipe with eggs, blueberries, spinach, and roasted sweet potatoes.

    The whole idea behind the beast bowl – it makes getting your macros a total no brainer.

    Eating macronutrient balanced meals throughout the day keeps our hormones at optimum levels for staying focused, and keeps our metabolism running the way that it is supposed to.

    As typical Americans, our diets have become way too carb-heavy. And not in a good way – most of the carbs that we eat are heavily processed and don’t have any nutritional value at all.

    Good carbs are necessary for building strong lean muscle. But carbs should come mostly from fruits and vegetables and then small servings of quinoa, rice or starchy vegetables.

    The healthy breakfast bowl

    Fruits and vegetables contain healthy antioxidants and phytonutrients that give our bodies the micronutrients that we need to be our best.

    Do eggs and blueberries sound weird? Trust me – the combination is fantastic.

    I got the idea from one of my gym partners. She showed up at a comp we were doing with a bowl of eggs, bacon, and blueberries. I kind of thought at the time,” Blueberries and eggs, how weird! “But then I tried it, and now I’m a believer!

    Macronutrients

    We all know, at least vaguely, what macronutrients are – Proteins, Carbs, and Fat.

    But did you know that micronutrients are what makes a difference in long-term health and longevity?

    Blueberries are one of the most micronutrient-rich foods on the planet.

    Besides, spinach and sweet potatoes are also phytonutrient rich. This combination gives you a broad range of micronutrients.

    How to Balance Your Macros

    How much protein should you eat?

    For this healthy bowl, you can adjust the number of eggs to your protein needs.

    Typically if you are trying to maintain muscle mass, you should eat 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean muscle that you are carrying.

    As a moderately active, well-muscled female, I try to get between 120 and 160 grams of protein per day. I always plan my protein first, then my fruits and veggies.

    Eggs have about 6 grams of protein per whole egg and about 4 grams of protein per egg white.

    You can use all whole eggs if you want to. However, I find that I just can’t eat five whole eggs, so I use egg whites to up the protein and keep that fat a little lower. Fat is satiating and makes me feel full, and I end up not getting all the protein that I need if I just stick with whole eggs.

    How many carbohydrates do you need?

    I plan my carbohydrate intake around how much working out I am doing that day.

    When looking at nutrition planning, protein and non-starchy vegetables should be the foundation of every meal.

    Think of carbs as workout fuel. The more you are working out, the more fuel you need that day.

    On days where I’m going to be sitting most of the day or doing just a long walk with the dog, I try to keep my carbs lower. On days when I am lifting weights, I plan to eat more carbs.

    A low carb day for me is under 50 grams of carbs. When I work out, I try to get closer to 200 grams of carbs that day. Cardio doesn’t count ladies.

    Pro Tip: Use your hands to guesstimate portions.

    I don’t actually measure out my sweet potatoes and blueberries.

    I use my hands and grab a large handful or two of spinach, and then I add smaller handfuls of sweet potatoes and blueberries, think cupped palm full.

    My handfuls are somewhere between ⅓ and ½ of a cup. Usually, I find this way of measuring close enough.
