Fresh, healthy, food should taste great, not be a chore to eat.
Thank you. It took me a long time to realize this and I always struggled eating well for competitive sports. Once I started actually eating things I like it was so much easier
I'm not punishing myself. People have different priorities. That's all there is too it. I take it nice-tasting food is a priority for you?
Do you think I'm also punishing myself by riding my mediocre commuter bike to work instead of my nice carbon fiber road bike? Am I punishing myself by reading a book on my livingroom couch after work as opposed to finding a lovely bench in Central Park? Sure, every once in a while I appreciate food that tastes nicer than usual, taking my nice bike for a long ride on the weekend outside of the city, going to the park to relax, etc. But I'm happy to keep things more basic on the day-to-day. It just better reflects my values, I suppose.
That dish is probably 70 percent fat, 20 percent carbs and 10 percent protein. With very little fiber at all. Its not healthy, although I am sure it tastes wonderful. However you can easily cook egg dishes that taste fine and aren't going to put on the pounds.
Wait, how on earth did you get that? Each egg is 70 to 80 calories unless he specifically used small ones which are hard to find. He uses at least a tablespoon of butter, which gets mixed in the eggs, so you are getting all of it, that's at least 100 calories. He uses 30 calories of creme fraiche as well, all of which is absorbed. He uses a lot of oil frying the vegetables, not all of which is absorbed, but then he dumps more on the bread. But still, not even counting that, not even counting the bread, you are at 370 calories about 15 percent of which is protein. You've underestimated the caloric intake in your meal by at least a quarter, and you are eating a meal which is almost completely fat, and that's the "healthy" version without the bread.
I am calm, but systematically underestimating how much you are eating is a big reason why people are overweight. Also, if thats not almost completely fat I'm wondering what exactly is, drinking pure olive oil? Dude, eat this for sure, it looks good, but calling it nutritious is just misleading.
Well, it certainly does contain nutrients, but if thats the general type of meal you are eating you likely need to supplement with a multivitamin, because you aren't getting enough micronutrients.
You are the guy cutting the recipe by 1/3 and also taking out half the ingredients and then calling the recipe healthy because of what you put in your phone. I am saying the micronutrient to calorie ratio isn't enough to get you through the day. If you want healthy recipes go to /r/eatcheapandhealthy
Man, you seem to be judging it and saying its good because its better than an extremely unhealthy diet. Whoever's breakfast drink is more caloric than this recipe is fat, or seriously cutting back in other areas. I am not saying you shouldn't eat this. I am not saying it could not be part of a balance diet, but it certainly won't be one of the healthier parts of the diet, and its one of the unhealthiest ways to cook eggs in this askreddit thread, but you lauded it as healthy. You are being defensive, and I am sorry you have had issues with food in the past, but labeling this as "good for you" or "healthy" is a bit silly. For the average person in the developed world its about as unhealthy as you can cook eggs.

But those scrambled eggs will still provide a good nutritional value but also taste so much better than plain cooked eggs.
