Low Carb Brekkie

sophs87

Hello all.

I was just wondering what some good alternatives are for breakfast without being too carby? I never really restrict myself on carbs, as long as I am staying under my calorie goal, however I'd like to have at least one day a week where I have a bit of a carb free day.

I normally have porridge, cereal or toast.... all very carby!

Oh and I eat breakfast at the office so nothing which involves a ridiculous amount of prep.

Cheers!

I love having 1 egg & 3 egg white scramble several days a week! Try putting Ms. Dash chipotle seasoning on it too! Little salsa ... great protein source!

I often get egg beaters (i prefer southwestern style) and put them in a tupperware container and just microwave them. Sprinkle a little cheese and/or salsa on top. yum!

You could cook quorn sausages and hard boiled eggs the night before? Do you hav e an oven or a microwave in work?

Bring in some eggbeaters and make some scrambled eggs, you can do it with a coffee cup and microwave. Atkins bar. String cheese.

eggs and bacon. or (full fat) cottage cheese and blueberries. or 2 tbs almond butter with 2 tbs cream cheese mixed together and eaten with a spoon. sounds weird but it's yummy

apple with pb is always yummy

All great ideas... I have a microwave so could do some egg related options. And the quorn sausages sound yum! Thanks!

String cheese, an apple, a small handful of almonds made breakfast this morning.

Other "non egg" suggestions...

1) spinach salad (w/cheese, fruit of choice, light dressing)
2) Sandwich on thins
3) lettuce wraps
4) Protein bar
5) cottage cheese or plain yogurt w/ berries
6) portobello mushroom cap, roasted the day before
