Breakfast?

I am pretty good at controlling carbs when it comes to every other meal but breakfast. I get tired of the usual eggs and breakfast meats, so I find myself skipping breakfast at times....Which I know is not good at all. What are some things that I can eat at breakfast besides the usual eggs and sausage?

Think non-traditional breakfast foods. It is not rare for me to have turkey, chicken, venison or any other meat with cheese, pickles, cottage cheese or roasted/sauteed veggies. I have even used a low-carb/high fiber wrap to make a fajita/burrito with chicken, multi-color bell peppers some cheese, hot sauce and greek yogurt (instead of sour cream). YUM!0

This. I've even made tuna salad for breakfast, since that was what I was craving, lol. This morning I had macadamia nuts for breakfast!
And, it's not always bad to skip breakfast, if you're truely not hungry.0 -
I've started eating 1 avocado, mashed up with almond milk and Splenda. Tastes like custard and 0 saturated fat! You could also add some ginger for a slight kick.
Another thing I've done is make chocolate Revolution Rolls (link below) and then put 2 tbs of peanut butter on top for "peanut butter toast." Could also add some berries and Splenda to make it more like PB&J.
Before this I was eating 2 mozzarella sticks in the morning. Then I started counting sodium so I switched to 2 oz of swiss cheese. Then I started counting saturated fat so I switched to the avocado.

Try mixing it up - eggs are a good foundation, but you dont' have to eat them teh same way - try the egg baked into a bell pepper, little strata-style muffins with spinach or zuchinni (think crustless quiche), try mixing it up with omelettes - different meat/veg/cheese combos. Of course leftovers for breakfast are good too
