To start the day off right, eating a balanced breakfast is essential. But if you want to lose weight, is it possible to turn to the “lazy girl breakfast”, a sandwich made of eggs and ham, as the first meal of the day? The response from Alexandra Murcier, dietitian-nutritionist.
Among the recent TikTok trends, here is the “lazy girl breakfast”! It involves preparing your breakfast in just a few minutes, consisting of a round bread, decorated with an egg, two pieces of ham and a slice of melted cheese.
A “simple and low-calorie” breakfast
The “lazy girl breakfast” is therefore a way of eating healthy and balanced even on mornings when you are a little rushed, by consuming foods that promote weight loss.
In any case, this is how the sandwich is presented. But what is it really? For Alexandra Murcier, dietician-nutritionist, “it is not very wise to only pay attention to the caloric intake of what we eat – to lose weight – because not all the foods we consume have the same effect on our body “.
For the expert, such a focus can even increase the risk of eating disorders.
A salty breakfast, which limits variations in blood sugar levels
This little sandwich still has two advantages, in the eyes of our specialist: it is salty (and not sweet) and it is rich in protein. “These two strong points mean that this breakfast limits variations in the blood sugar on the day” concedes Alexandra Murcier.

NO to diets, YES to WW!
Can we opt for the “lazy girl breakfast” on a daily basis?
According to Alexandra Murcier, this remains a breakfast rich in animal proteins, “which has a significant impact on the planet.
In addition, the ham or bacon used remains a salty cold meat, just like the cheese which is added to the sandwich, which is not recommended on a daily basis. We can therefore have this type of breakfast, “alternating with other types of toast, such as avocado toast, for example” believes our expert.
And is this enough from the point of view of nutritional intake? “Yes” concludes Alexandra Murcier “it is not obligatory to have a hot drink or a dairy product in the morning breakfast. On the other hand, we must think carefully hydrate while drinking water.
