These tags explain why the recipe may appear in Lila. They are prompts for noticing your own patterns—not evidence that this meal treats a symptom.

Notice patterns without judgment
One meal does not determine body weight. Look at fullness, energy and repeatable eating patterns over time instead.
Track: fullness + meal rhythm
Low energy
Check how the whole meal lands
Food is one part of energy. Notice meal timing, sleep and symptoms together rather than assigning the result to one nutrient.
Track: energy 1–3 hours later
Mood changes
Watch the whole day
Mood can overlap with sleep, stress and cycle changes. Food and supplements are not substitutes for support when symptoms persist.
Track: mood + sleep + cycle
Fatigue
Separate a pattern from one day
Notice energy alongside sleep, meals and symptoms across several days. Ongoing fatigue deserves a clinical conversation.
Track: energy + previous night

Why this bowl holds together
Batch prep
Batch prep: Double the recipe and bake in a 12-cup tin. They store beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and microwave in just 30 seconds.
Prevent sticking
Prevent sticking: If your muffin tin is prone to sticking, use silicone muffin liners instead of greasing the pan—they pop right out.
Fiber boost
Fiber boost: Because this is a very low-carb, keto-friendly breakfast, it is naturally lower in fiber. If your diet allows, serve these alongside half an avocado or a handful of berries to hit your daily fiber goals.
