'I'm a nutritionist and I am obsessed with this easy breakfast'
Emily English, 30, has shared a breakfast recipe that's packed with protein but low in calories A nutritionist has highlighted an unexpected breakfast option that's a mere 380 calories and notably 'quick to make'. Emily English, aged 30, boasts that her creation is not just rich in protein but also keeps you energised and satiated throughout the morning. Contrary to what some might guess – perhaps an omelette, toastie or even a Full English – her speciality is actually inspired by Mexican cuisine. She's dubbed it 'breakfast tacos'. "Soft fluffy cheddar scramble breakfast tacos," she said on TikTok recently. "I am obsessed with these tacos, made with soft cheesy pepper scrambled eggs, toasted corn tacos, avocado and finished with hot sauce. These are so satisfying and keep me full all morning and are also so quick to make." Emily begins her recipe by chopping a spring onion and a quarter of a green pepper. She then sautés these ingredients for about two to three minutes over medium heat until the greens soften. After reducing the heat, Emily whisks together two eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. She suggests adding them to the pan with the greens and softly stirring with a spatula. The goal is to create 'soft egg ribbons' – the main component of the taco. "When it still looks a little undercooked, grate over the cheese and either fold in and leave to melt on top," Emily described. "Turn off the heat and place a lid on the pan. While the eggs cook, warm the tacos in a dry pan for about 30 seconds per side until lightly toasted." After the tacos have been warmed and plated up, Emily recommends adding some sliced avocado before piling the fluffy scrambled eggs on top. Those who enjoy a bit of heat are then urged to reach for hot sauce, Sriracha, and fresh coriander or chives for an added kick. "Drizzle with hot sauce or sriracha and enjoy immediately," she added. Avocados, often renowned as a superfood and King Charles' 'favourite lunchtime snack, ' are packed with nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats. In 2022, the American Heart Association (AHA) reported that consuming two servings of avocado weekly was associated with a notably reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, which causes thousands of deaths annually in the UK. "These findings are significant because a healthy dietary pattern is the cornerstone for cardiovascular health, however, it can be difficult for many Americans to achieve and adhere to healthy eating patterns," Dr Cheryl Anderson, chair of the AHA's Council on Epidemiology and Prevention, said previously. "We desperately need strategies to improve intake of AHA-recommended healthy diets — such as the Mediterranean diet — that are rich in vegetables and fruits." Moreover, tucking into eggs has been linked with a rise in 'good cholesterol' and even potential weight loss advantages. Helen Bell, a nutritionist at the UK Care Guide, recently told the Mirror: "In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer. "This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it's important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats." Emily's ingredient list for breakfast tacos (serves one) Two small corn or wheat tacos Hot sauce/ Siracha to serve Two eggs Mature cheddar (20g) One-quarter of a green pepper diced One diced spring onion One-quarter of a small avocado cut into four strips Fresh coriander or chives

But Louis called it "gross" and the "worst breakfast" he's ever had. Advertisement However, commenters on his video were divided on the matter, with some voicing their support and others roasting the expat. "What do you expect for that money ? Smoked salmon," one user posted. "Never thought of Mariano's for breakie haha," another said. "What was wrong with it, everything looked fine, that's not a fair review," a third posted.

"Mariano's has gone right down hill to what it used to be," another posted.

Here is everything you need to know about the glam city hotel. 3 Hotel Saint opened in Aldgate in 2023 Credit: 3 The restaurant is popular with locals as well as hotel guests Credit: Where is the hotel? Hotel Saint, which opened in 2023, is right by Aldgate Station, as well as a short walk from Tower Bridge and other London attractions. What is the hotel like? While unassuming from the outside, the beautiful interiors make up for it on the inside with gold and black designs throughout. What are the rooms like? The hotel has 272 rooms to choose from, ranging from standard rooms to suites. Ranging from twin beds to king-size, each room has a desk and chair for anyone needing to do some work, as well as a 42inch LCD TV. A tea and coffee station as well as mini fridge and free water are included, as well as free toiletries. Leave your hairdryer and dressing gown at home too, with free ones to use in the room.

I highly recommend the High Life #3 cocktail, with gin, prosecco and edible glitter. What else is there to do there? The hotel has a beautiful 24-hour gym, with full glass windows letting you people-watch while on the treadmill. Otherwise guests can make the most of some of London's top attractions in the nearby area, or hop on the Elizabeth line to go further afield. Is the hotel family-friendly?
