    I get a lot of recipes from genaw.com........I just made the "Robin's Coffee Cake " recipe and it's delicious! One slice is 5 net carbs......less,if you use the liquid sweetener instead of the granular.The Cream Cheese Pumpkin muffins are awesome as well....3 net carbs. for one of those! I've been experimenting a lot with different recipes....you'll be surprised what you can do with some cream cheese,eggs,and almond(or coconut) flour!

    1/4 cup of whole oats, 1 egg, cinammon, blueberries, almond milk, throw it in the microwave for a minute or two and tada!

    I make low carb bread slice it and freeze it for later (it has almond flour, glutin, cheese) and any savory topping you like (cottage cheese and ham) or the Ole tortillas warmed and stuffed with anything or even a eggsilla or quesidilla

    she said she believes there is more to life than bacon and eggs, and everyone is all "bacon and eggs", really people?

    i love fruit

    a handful of grapes
    yogurt -low calorie and so yummy, especially fruit flavored greek yogurt
    peanut butter and celery, laughing cow cheese and celery, hummus and celery
    oatmeal, with fruit or without
    banana dipped in orange juice and shredded coconut (you can freeze it and it is so good)
    trail mix (some cheerios, shreddies, raisins, sunflower seeds)
    higher protein: avocado on a piece of toasted pita
    leftovers!

    she also asked for low carb...oatmeal, trail mix, and banana dipped in OJ are NOT low carb.

    no doubt...that's what i was thinking. and it depends on your leftovers right?

    I do low/moderate carb and run into the same dilemma! I do enjoy having a protein shake each morning with coconut or almond milk (1 carb!) if you get sugar free instant pudding/jello flavors, your options are endless!

    Hey! I generally have uncle tobys high fibre with soy and flax seeds oats cooked with skim milk. I generally top it with a banana and cinamon or raspberries! Quick and easy.. but yet so delicious! :)

    blogilates banana pancake. Real easy to do and tastes great. Mix two whole eggs with 1 banana (chopped and mashed or blended) and then cook on a griddle plate, in a fry pan etc (use spray oil or other low cal options) Takes a couple of mins and tastes like full on pancakes. Yes there is carbs in there in the form of banana but it is good carbs for energy and of course protein from the eggs.

    Ooohhh I gotta try this one. I have bananas and eggs. I love pancakes but hardly ever eat them anymore because they make me feel so heavy during the day.

    I usually have Total 0% greek yoghurt with protein powder mixed in (I like the chocolate!) with strawberries / blueberries and sometimes with either mashed banana or grapenuts/granola, depending on if I have the carbs available in my plan.

    If I had 200g fage, protein scoop & strawberries it woks out to be 200 cal, 14 carbs and 39g protein! LOVE it and it keeps me full until lunch and even much later! (can easily go until 2:30-3pm with this breakfast!)

    Pleas explain the need for low carb...Carbs are your friend, and fuel the beast within.

    It's never a good idea to skip breakfast. I like a banana with 1 Tbsp of peanut butter for breakfast. I get to start the day with a serving of fruit and get the protein and fat from the peanut butter (Simply JIF which is low sugar/low sodium). Also a bowl of cereal once in a while (Special K makes a low carb if you must have low carb) with fruit isn't gonna kill your diet. Just stick to the recommended serving size on the box.

    Well, that depends. If you're doing LOW carb (like 20g or less a day), you're counting on being in ketosis. A bowl of regular cereal will knock you out. When you get knocked out, you start craving the carby foods again, and could possibly set yourself up to go through keto flu again. Not to mention the tummy pains of the carb shock your body can go through from the carbapalooza.

    Looked at the Special K one and it's 14g - 5g fiber= 9g net carbs. Not too bad if you're craving cereal, actually! As far as fruit, I really enjoy raspberries. Super tasty, and full of fiber! Problem is they're so dang expensive.

    ETA: Oh yea! And what time of day you begin/finish eating is completely up to your and your body's needs. I can go most of the day without eating (kinda have to since I'm a teacher), but I make sure to "make up" for the lost time and get my calories in during dinner. It works for me! Much better than how I was a few months ago, eating every second of the day...

    Eggbeaters and low carb toast (Healthy Choice bread) :)))

    Someone asked WHY low carbs... I have hypothyroidism and I lose weight better if I go lower carb/higher protein.

    A couple of my favs;

    2 pieces string cheese and one piece dry toast
    Greek yogurt

    Or....if I am on the road, I do my two pieces string cheese and a serving of red grapes.

    I HAVE to have protein at breakfast or I get the shakes really bad from my coffee! :laugh:

    No kidding! Just calorie counting didn't work so well for me, so I've been doing high fat/low carb for a few months. Results are great AND I feel better than I've ever felt. Is.. is this what normal feels like? I've never felt normal! Whoo hoo!

    Not sure how LOW you want (like South BEach Low or Atkins?). If the first, try 2% cottage cheese, splenda, 1 tsp to 1 tbsp sugar free smuckers and some crushed nuts sprinkled on top. (I used 1/2 bag of the emerald cinnamon almonds 100 calorie pack.) Heat for 20 to 25 seconds. Soooo yummy and LOTS of protein.

    I made my first ever protein pancake at the weekend and was amazing, I had been craving pancakes and it hit the spot as well as providing the protein I needed. Im definitely going to try the banana pancake next!

    I do low carb. also. On the weekdays I eat breakfast at work and I do not cook anything. I bring it from home. These are the type of things I eat for breakfast.

    string cheese
    celery with dip
    peanuts
    almonds
    full fat ricotta cheese
    spoonful of peanut butter

    I'll usually have one or two of the above and then I pair it with hot tea with splenda or diet soda.

    My protein pancakes are a little different from the ones previously posted...the freeze and refridge well so you can pop them in a toaster too.

    1/2 c rolled/quick oatmeal
    1/3-1/2 c cottage cheese
    1/4 c egg whites
    stevia and cinnamon to taste

    Blend it all up and cook on stovetop or griddle.
    If you let the batter sit it can get pretty thick as the oats absorb the liquid so just dilute a little as needed.

    Sometimes I top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, berries, PB2, etc
