Suggestions for Low Carb Breakfasts Please.....

dcc56

My personal trainer recently reviewed my food diary. He looked at my print out and all he could say is
"CARBS CARBS CARBS."

I agreed to work on changing my breakfast meal as a first step.
I need suggestions for a low carb breakfast.
H E L P !!!

Bacon and eggs. People shriek at bacon, but a slice of uncured bacon is only about 40 calories. Look at my breakfast for this morning - 18 carbs, skip the yogurt and you're down to 10. And I was full.

I had two poached eggs and a couple slices of lean ham for breakfast this morning. About 250 cals, 2 carbs.

Mmmmm, BACON!

Also, certain oatmeals, fruit, eggs, and high fiber cereals will have some but not many carbs, and will fill you up.

Omlets! Fill them with tons of veggies like mushrooms, onion, peppers, sun dried tomatoes, spinach ... I like a sprinkle of feta instead of chedder.

P90X spinach scramble.

Saute 1 cup uncooked spinach.
Add 4-6 egg whites (or 3/4 cu egg beaters)
Add 1 - 2 tbslp feta cheese when eggs are done.

239 cals
9g carbs
9g fat
29g protien.

I am diabetic too and I find this breakfast helps keep my blood sugar low through the morning.

Check out marks daily apple, there's a lot of good recipes there. I make the omelet muffins with a few tweeks and I make them in bulk so its a fast and easy breakfast during the week.

Lately, I've been digging my broccoli, eggs, and pepper jack cheese breakfasts

Today I had, 2 eggs scrambled with water (it actually make them fluffier than milk!), 2 slices of uncured turkey bacon, some feta cheese, and 1/4 an avocado. delicious and super filling!

just about every day I eat 2 scrambled eggs, 4 slices of soy bacon...then I either have 1/2 cup berries or a low carb/high fiber tortilla. No more than 350 calories, 19 carbs, like 9 or 10 fiber.

I love plain greek yogurt with a bit of honey and some berries in season!

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

EGGS! I eat a boiled egg for breakfast almost every day, but you could make your eggs any way you want them. I also love Butterball turkey bacon. I eat two pieces for breakfast for 30 calories. They cook in the microwave for about 10 seconds per slice. I like mine extra crispy so I go for 12 seconds or more per slice.

Greek yogurt is high in protein and a good breakfast food. You could make a smoothie using protein powder.

1. Eggs, any way you like!
2. Ham and tomatoes
3. Smoked fish (salmon, trout, mackerel)
4. Good greek yoghurt, with nuts and berries
5. Cottage cheese

If you want some alternatives to eggs
Today for me was
4oz of smoked salmon
2oz of goat cheese
whole cucumber

Sliced up the cucumber, spread a little goat cheese on each slice and top off with the smoked salmon.

Have you tried cooking an egg or egg whites in a coffee mug? It is THE fastest, easiest way to get in breakfast without having to cook at home. Choose a mug with higher sides because the eggs will rise. I cook the equivalent of 2 eggs (using Egg Beaters) for 1 minute, then cut/scramble with a fork and cook another 30 seconds. Perfect scrambled eggs at work! I like to add some black pepper. Salt would be good too, but I'm supposed to limit that.

I also like to buy the turkey sausage links that are pre-cooked and individually wrapped in packages of 2. All you do is warm them up in the microwave. You can cook those first, then chop them and add to your egg mug.

Egg mugs can also be made with veggies. You'd add those to your mug first, cook for 1 minute, then add your eggs on top and continue cooking as above. Try it, you'll be hooked!

It looks like a chunk of your carbs are coming from a banana, I fail to see the problem there.

I make my own version of "breakfast sausage" (basically mini-homemade burgers made out out ground chicken and pork, spinach, oats, flax seed, egg etc). I use a muffin tray to bake them (cup filled half way):, then freeze them and grab quickly in the morning and nuke them (I'm not a big egg person, and I find the sausages filling). I also sometimes just make a protein shake and drink on the way into work if I am in a rush; then eat the mini- sausages and/ or mini blueberry/bran muffins (from the biggest loser recipe) for an early mid-morning snack

These are great ideas.

Follow a diet that is low on carbs and high on proteins. This means that your meals should include lean meats, chicken and other poultry, fish and seafood, eggs, skimmed milk and tofu along with fresh veggies and fruits. If you feel the urge to snack, opt for low carb diet snacks (http://www.dukandiet.com/) such as carrot or celery sticks with maybe a low-fat yogurt dip. Maybe a couple slices of turkey ham. For breakfast you could have scrambled eggs, omelets, soft-boiled eggs, oat bran muffins etc.
