    Smoked salmon is a good breakfast choice. Perhaps on some avocado toast 🤤

    I buy Ocean's snack kits with Rice crackers. The rice cracker still has some carb but the tuna is lovely for protein and the whole thing is 146 calories. The ones with Ritz crackers are alot higher.

    My go to is eggs (you don't like), pineapple (lots of carbs), and cottage cheese (you don't like). So I am no help. But I agree with the others. It sounds like you don't like any traditional breakfast foods, so don't have traditional breakfast. Just have whatever you would normally eat at other meals.

    We've been programmed/trained/brain-washed into believing that breakfast=eggs, bacon and "traditional breakfast" stuff in the morning when we wake up. De-program your self/mind and take yourself out the self-imposed prison/box of "this (fill in the blank") equals breakfast and eat whatever you want to for "breakfast", meaning eat what you normally would for "lunch or dinner" and what you like instead. I'm telling you, this will free you in ways that will make you GLAD. I see the post Mike PTY just wrote above--do this and your entire life/lifestyle will change for your betterment...I promise!

    What about curried lentils, tarka dhal?
    Kippers?

    When you say you dont like cottage cheese, are you talking about the abomination that is 'fat free' or 'low fat' cottage cheese or are you talking about the 5% fat (full fat) cottage cheese? They taste nothing like each other.

    I love Longley Farm, I can only buy it in Home Bargains which is bizarre to me. I used to be able to get it in asda but then they started only doing the fat free one.

    Normal, full fat cottage cheese tastes like eating double cream, its delicious. I have it with plenty of salt on and some chilli flakes.

    Love love love Longley Farm cottage cheese! I can only get the full fat one in my local health food store and I have had to find out which days they get deliveries so I can get it before it goes!

    Its the only cottage cheese I can eat. Almost every single other supermarket (I dont know if you are in the UK) only does fat free or low fat version, except for Aldi I think it is who do a nice cottage cheese but dont stock it continuously.

    Longley farm is so hard to find. I'll be standing outside the shop with a placard if they stop selling it at Home Bargains (its not even a food shop so it baffles me why they sell it but I dont care)

    I workout first thing in the morning so I usually just grab a few dates and a banana before I go.

    I know! Waitrose does a full fat one which is ok but not a patch on longley farm. Amazon sell the full fat natural flavour though. I’m in love with the chive one but if you want plain try amazon. In desperation I also looked up the website and they do click and collect if you’re anywhere near the farm itself (I’m not!).

    It is one of a small group of foods that I absolutely rely on as weight maintenance staples. Get actual anxiety when I’m running low! 😂

    Avocado toast on either low carb bread or sweet potato (slice thinly and toast like bread). Spread mashed avocado on top with desired toppings (crumbled bacon, everything but the bagel seasoning, cherry tomatoes?).

    Yep, my breakfast most mornings is a full pot 250 of the full fat cottage cheese on 4 ryvita.

    I didnt know waitrose do a full fat one, I might have a look.

    Im not near Longley Farm unfortunately

    can you not eat eggs because of an allergy? a texture thing? prep time?

    I usually have fruit, fish, avocado or even salad. Generally I walk or run first thing so breakfast is later for me.

    The doctors call it an intolerance. I can eat eggs in other products(like potato salad, cake) -no problem. But I can't eat eggs scrambled, boiled, fried eggs. I throw up almost immediately after eating them. It's weird.

    My preference is porridge, so that probably won't work for you.

    Avocado, mozarrella, tomatoes, olives, variety of sliced meats.
    I have seen recipes for a sweeter version of a quinoa salad, keep meaning to try it.
    Just quinoa mixed with a variety of fruit, some seeds, looks good and of course easy to prep ahead.

    Eggs, high protein waffles, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal. You don’t have to eat traditional breakfast food for your first meal of the day.

    A pretty tall order. Low carb, no eggs or yogurt.

    Try sardines on toast.

    Or try a Japanese breakfast with Miso soup.

    You may prepare all the side dishes the night before so you just put it together in the morning.

    I have made a sweet potato, bacon and onion hash for breakfast at times.
