We’ve covered the importance of eating a nourishing breakfast here, and we included some of the latest clinical data that shows brekkie really is the most important meal of the day.

So what’s the most fertility-supportive breakfast?

You want a wholefood and hormone balancing plate that works for you, ideally eaten within 2 or 3 hours of waking.

Focus on adding protein, fat and fibre to your plate.

As a guide, most women benefit from a plate that looks something like 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of fat and some good quality fibre aka ‘smart carbs’.

• Protein could look like adding nuts, seeds, tahini, eggs, beans, quinoa/quinoa flakes and meats to your plate

• Fat could look like adding avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds and animal-based products like eggs, smoked salmon etc. to your plate

• Fibre could look like adding berries, avocado, greens, oats, etc. to your plate

Breakfast ideas:

These breakfast options all have 25-30 grams of protein per serve, with fibre and fat:

• 3 scrambled eggs with avo, tomatoes, dukkah and toast of choice (GF, sourdough or homemade)
