How do I make my breakfast more healthy?

Question

I’m using lifesum to track my food and I’m having trouble getting better ratings 
Specifically this morning it said my breakfast is balanced but I want to know how I can get a better rating for that. I made an omelette with 4 eggs and spinach and had a banana. I’m way too full to eat anything else and everything I had is healthy so I’m confused why it’s just considered balanced and not healthy. 
Also it gives you a weekly rating and my score has gone from being around 120 to 99 even though I’m eating mostly in the balanced-healthy range. 
It’s confusing though because there was one day this week where for my lunch I ate mostly vegetables because that’s all I had and I like vegetables but it said it was just balanced and not healthy. I’m sure it wanted me to eat a protein too but at the end of the day vegetables aren’t going to hurt me and if everything I’m marking down has a “perfect” face, why isn’t my lunch considered that?
Lastly… if anyone pays for lifesum instead of the free version.. is it worth paying so that you can see the 2 ways you can improve your score every week or is it just going to tell me shit like to drink more water and what not?

Answer

I think the people in the comments making comments that 4 eggs is too much need to stop because for 1) 4 eggs is only 312 calories. Yes, it can be a lot of saturated fat, but you have no idea what the OP’s health goals are. You don’t know if they’re trying to gain weight or lose weight or build muscle or whatever. Even if they are trying to lose weight, it very well could be better than what they usually eat. 4 eggs for breakfast is a hell of a lot better than a cinnamon roll lmao.

Answer

Either cut down to 2 eggs or only use 4 egg whites
Add more veggies in the omelet to bulk it up like fresh peppers, onion

Answer

It depends on what its rating. Is it trying to get u to eat a balance of protein, carbs, fats, etc. Or is it just rating the quality of the food itself.
     4 eggs is probably “high fat” because of the 4 yolks. Maybe a blend of egg with egg whites is better.

Answer

4 eggs is a lot !!! Try 2 eggs with lots of veggies

Answer

No idea what that app is. I recommend seeing a registered dietitian for a personalized plan if you can. In my professional opinion, most dieting apps are horrible and have the potential to severely impact physical and mental health. 
Quickly looking at your breakfast, I would recommend having two (whole) eggs (the yolks are okay to eat and that’s where the most vitamins are) instead of four and including to add a variety of vegetables to your omelet. Having a banana or piece of fruit is fine on the side if you would like. Simply decreasing the number of eggs will help you not be overly full. 
“Balanced” and “healthy” are subjective words and not every eating pattern works for everyone. For “balanced” meals try to include a protein (1/4 of your plate), vegetables (1/2 your plate), a starch (1/4 of your plate), with a source of fat depending on what the meal is (olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, sometimes it’s just the fat in the food like the egg yolk example).

Answer

I agree 4 eggs is 400 cal and cholesterol. A single medium-sized egg contains 186 mg of cholesterol, which is 62% of the recommended daily intake (RDI). In contrast, the white is mostly protein and low in cholesterol. I bet the app is looking at the intake so it also depends on what other cholesterol/fatty foods you are eating. 
 If you like the quantity of food for breakfast. I would add egg whites or bulk it up with diced veggies. I love onion, peppers, spinach, broccoli, zuchinni, tomatoes, chiles mixed in my eggs.

Answer

I have no clue how that app works, but FOUR eggs is a LOT! A 2 egg omelet is probably where you should be. 4 eggs is what my body building male friends eat for breakfast. This seems a bit much for you. Up the veggies I the omelet and cut back the egg.
