Former NASCAR and IndyCar star Danica Patrick, now working as a Sky Sports F1 pundit, has ignited online chatter with her unconventional breakfast choice, sharing a snap of five eggs cooking in a skillet on her Instagram.

Alongside the photo, Danica added her view: "Breakfast on the go is always - 5 eggs. Before you freak out, this is the healthiest single ingredient food. It's 35 grams of protein and 25 grams of fat. Perfect."

At 43, Patrick is known for her dedication to health and fitness, often sharing a glimpse into her diet and exercise regime to her nearly one million Instagram followers.

In an earlier story shared on Instagram, she stressed the importance of protein-packed breakfasts, saying: "2 eggs isn't even the protein needed for breakfast!!!! I just had 3 eggs + 2 whites and sourdough toast with avocado. And if I am in a rush, I'll make 5 eggs and run out the door."

She went on to explain that consuming plenty of protein and engaging in heavy lifting is key to getting toned arms and abs, and added: "(And make sure your hormones are right.)".

Patrick's high-protein breakfast highlights her enduring commitment to health and clean eating. She frequently expresses her preference for simple, whole foods, such as lean meats and vegetables, even incorporating greens like spinach and kale into her morning meals.

Her devotion to fitness can be traced back to her racing career, where both physical and mental stamina were crucial. Patrick carved out a place in history in IndyCar and NASCAR as one of the most accomplished female drivers, earning a reputation for her determination and discipline both on and off the circuit.

While the idea of consuming five eggs in one sitting might raise eyebrows for some, it's simply part of how Patrick fuels her body. She has been open about her wellness, inspiring others to discover what suits them best in living a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
