Keto Low Calorie Chorizo Breakfast Plate
This ultimate low calorie Keto meal is ideal for those looking for smaller meals or for 5:2 fasting days. Everything you need to start your morning right (even when you’re eating lightly) is on your plate. Substantial protein in the morning will help you wake up if you’re feeling sluggish. The fats from the chorizo sausage and olive oil keep you in ketosis, and don’t forget your obvious vitamins and nutrients from healthy vegetables. This is a great recipe if you like to sit down and enjoy your meal, even if it’s smaller than usual because it can help trick your stomach into thinking it’s eating more than it really is.

How Much Do I Eat On Fasting Days?
If you’re on the 5:2 diet, your two fasting days have to include 500-600 calories each day. Try to break your meals into at least 2-3 meals a day. Each meal doesn’t have to be the exact same amount of calories, but try to keep each meal relatively the same. Remember, don’t have two consecutive fasting days; break them up over your week.
What Fats Should I Use On Fasting Diets?
Fat has some of the most calories per gram, so your calories will add up quickly when making a low calorie Keto meal. Your safest fats to use are olive oil and other healthy oils. Don’t forget that any meat or cheese you consume also has fat. If you want to use butter, use a small amount just at the very end of cooking for flavor.

Step 1
You may choose linked chorizo sausages or ground chorizo for this recipe. The original recipe here uses ground chorizo. Cook the chorizo in a pan on high heat without any extra oil. Break the sausage up into crumbles or leave your linked chorizo whole. When the chorizo is cooked and browned all over, transfer it to your serving plate and return the pan to your stove.Step 2
You may discard any excess fat in the pan, but heat the pan on low heat on the stove. Whisk together the egg, heavy cream, salt, and chili powder seasoning, and pour the mixture into the pan. Slowly stir the eggs over the heat until they’re scrambled. However, you could also cook the eggs as an omelet. Serve the eggs next to your chorizo.Step 3
Finally, heat olive oil in a new pan over medium-high heat. Chop the zucchini and mushrooms, and add them to the pan. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder while you cook and toss them in the oil. Cook the vegetables until they’re charred randomly all over, and finish them with a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve the hot vegetables on your breakfast plate. Serve the breakfast with chopped cilantro.
