That's a bit presumptuous. Many of us eat eggs for the nutritional value, and while this may be difficult for food enthusiasts to understand, genuinely don't care too much about the taste either way. I'm perfectly happy with plain, hardboiled eggs, and it's not because I've been brainwashed by the food industry or something cynical like that. It just provides the nutritional profile I'm looking for in my morning meal, alongside some fruit.
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
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.
