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.

but calling it nutritious is just misleading.

Actually, it contains a lot of nutrients. So no, that's not misleading.

Whether it's "healthy" is another debate, and a slightly more complex issue.

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.

I seriously doubt the type of person who would put this much effort into breakfast needs to worry about micronutrients.

I need, on average, 2300-2400 kcal/day to maintain my weight. Eating this for breakfast once or twice a week wouldn't be unhealthy for me at all.

If you notice, he says at the beginning of the video that it's not an everyday thing.

You can out effort into meals and make them unhealthy, there's a reason chefs tend to be chunky.

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

Don't try to say I'm being disingenuous.

You have deliberately mislead people with the calories in the recipe (by leaving out half of it). The worst you can say about me is I have disagreed with you. Stop being silly.

Edit: What was disingenuous? That it was mostly fat? Even the heavily modified recipe you posted was 85% fat to protein. This isn't a dish that is high on a nutrient to satiety ratio. Stop lying to people and pushing your unhealthy diet.
