⚡ Quick Facts

Prep Time: 5 min min
Cook Time: 5 min min
Total Time: 10 min
Servings: 1 small portion
Protein per Serving:
Portion Size: 2 eggs (about 100g cooked)

Portion Guidance: Start with half a portion and pause before continuing. It's okay to stop early.

🍽️ How Much Should I Eat?

Start with half the eggs (one egg scrambled). Even this provides 9g of complete protein. Put your fork down between mouthfuls and check in with your body. On GLP-1 medications, fullness creeps up slowly—what feels like not enough at first can suddenly feel like plenty five minutes later.

🥚 Ingredients

2 large British Lion eggs (Tesco £2.50 for 15 eggs, 17p each), 1 tablespoon semi-skimmed milk, 5g butter (small knob), pinch of salt (optional)

📝 Instructions

Crack 2 eggs into bowl. Add 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk briefly with fork. Melt butter in small non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs. Wait 20 seconds. Gently push eggs from edge to centre with spatula. Repeat every 20 seconds for 3-4 minutes. Remove whilst still slightly wet (they continue cooking). Serve immediately on warm plate.

😔 Low Appetite

Cook just 1 egg instead of 2. Eat 3-4 forkfuls slowly. Stop when comfortable. Even this provides 9g protein—excellent when appetite is minimal.

🤢 Feeling Nauseous

Serve barely warm (not hot). Skip milk and butter—plain scrambled egg is gentler on queasy stomach. Add tiny pinch of salt only if tolerated.

😊 Normal Appetite

Make full 2-egg portion. Add grated cheese (20g) for extra protein (total 28g protein). Could comfortably eat with slice of buttered toast.

💜 Scrambled eggs straight from the pan with no additions is a completely valid meal. No judgment.

💜 Even three forkfuls provides more protein than most people manage when appetite is low. You're doing brilliantly.

📦 Storage & Make-Ahead

Store cooked eggs in airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds. Texture remains soft and gentle. Best eaten fresh but leftovers work fine.
