If you use Route Model Binding and think you can't use Eager Loading for relationships, think again.
So you use Route Model Binding
public function show(Product $product) { //}
But you have a belongsTo relationship, and cannot use $product->with('category') eager loading?
You actually can! Load the relationship with ->load()
public function show(Product $product) { $product->load('category'); //}
