Metabolic Typing Recipes: Carbohydrate Type Breakfasts

Vegetable Scrambled Eggs with Gluten Free Bread for Carbohydrate Types

The menus in this category are to stimulate ideas based primarily on a carbohydrate type food list. In this previous post, I explained how your metabolic type is determined and the benefits you reap from eating according to your type.

Please adjust according to individual taste preferences and macronutrient needs. Suggestions and ratios may not work for everyone. Be aware of how you feel after each meal. You should have energy, minimal to no cravings, and be satisfied between meals – if you are not, then you need to adjust your ratios or food choices.

Be creative and add foods you enjoy, staying within your macronutrient ratio. It is important to use all natural or organic foods at least 85-90% of the time.

Division of your Macros:  50-55% Carbohydrates + 25-30% Protein + 10-15% Fat per meal. Again, these may need to be adjusted for individual needs.

Tips on following your menu guidelines:

  • Avoid gluten and dairy for 3 months to identify and heal from any potential allergies
  • Alternate your foods. Vary nuts and seeds, different meats, different fruits and vegetables every week.
  • Feel free to mix up the menus as long as you are staying within your proper ratios of carbs/proteins/fats
  • Avoid conventional animal proteins. Conventionally raised animals have been injected with growth hormones, and antibiotics, and fed an unnatural diet. Buy your meats exclusively from Whole Foods Market, or local farms.
  • Snacks can be used as part of a meal as long as a protein is chosen to go with them.
  • Avoid using the microwave, even if only to warm water.
  • Any fruits eaten should be “green” – not fully ripened. Fully-ripe or overripe fruits can be too high in sugar for protein types. Preferably, fruit should be eaten with some protein and/or fat like nuts or avocado.
  • Note: Portions are based on individual needs. Be sure you are eating enough food to feel satisfied but not too full.

Your Metabolic Type Diet is easy to follow. Just stick to your Recommended Foods as closely as you can. You do not need to weigh your foods, measure out serving sizes or count calories. Eat according to your appetite. Eat at least three meals a day. Snack if you need to and always try to eat before you get hungry to stabilize your blood sugar. Eat protein and fat with each food intake. Although you can eat any of your foods in any combination, here are some meal suggestions to help get you started. Eat grains and other starches only if required as per your Diet Check Record Sheet reactions.
