I love making egg-type breakfasts! Actually.. it's more like lunch because I don't really eat breakfast/until I'm hungry anymore. I used to be a vegetarian, so often I still stick to vegetarian meals... aka eggs :-)

I take 2 or 3 eggs and scramble them (but you could do them however you want, of course) and I also sautee some veggies in a bit of butter or olive oil, and put them with the eggs. I top the eggs with a bit of salsa and guacamole and occasionally cheese... it's so awesome and filling!

For dinner, I recommend fish or lean meat or, if you really are trying to be vegetarian, then soy protein products, tempeh, etc. The other night I used this recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/five_spice_tilapia.html

Easiest tilapia I've ever made... and SO delicious! It's not no-carb, due to the brown sugar... but it's really good, an easy place to start! I hope that helps!!!

these are some of my fav snacks:

lettuce wrap: (pretty much what you want on a sand wich)

lunch meat (turkey, ham)
cheese
tomato (im allergic so i cant)
pickle
onion
light mayo or mustard
head of lettuce

take a piece of lettuce, putt meat on, add condiments if desired, cheese, then wrap the lettuce around and enjoy.


Pickle wraps

lunch meat
cream cheese
pickle

lay out meat, spread cream cheese on it, add a pickle spear, wrap and eat (my personal fav)

humas is a good low carb snack...

string cheese

celery and peanut butter

atkins shakes (5carbs, 2fiber = 3net carbs)
