I recently started a low carb diet, and it's been a lot easier than i thought it would be.... Except at breakfast time. I can't stomach eating another egg. Does anyone have any good low carb breakfast recipes without the word omlette in them?

Sausage links or patties w/ a slice of cheese
not sure what your carb limit is, but if it's high enough stick those between 2 slices of good-grain bread, otherwise eat as-is, add bacon if desired :happy:
Smoothie with flax seeds
If anyone else wants to post ideas, it'd be great. This is the hardest meal for me to figure out too!0 -
Right now my carb limit is really low. I'm doing 2 weeks of extremely low carb, then i'll add in a few whole grains and fruits. I'm having a lot of trouble with breakfast because I don't eat meat other than eggs and the occasional thing of fish. You would think that an almost vegetarian diet would suffice for weight loss alone, but that's definitely not the case. (too many potatoes, pastas, and breads!!!)0

I regularly have cottage cheese and bacon for an easy non-egg breakfast. I'm breastfeeding, so I'm not super strict on carbs. I'm usually between 40 and 20 per day.0

with a really low carb count you could fry chorizo up and add an egg or two. the egg is like non existant but it makes it super fluffy. very yummy
oops read ur post about not eating meat. sorry0 -
I once made a paleo oatmeal with egg whites, banana and flax meal. Sort of like this .

or muffins in a minute a.k.a. MIM's can be very satisfying.0 -
All of those sound really good! Even the meat ones... my husband would love those 0

Leftover low carb dinner! I often eat "non-breakfast" food for breakfast. Chicken salad is good, maybe you could do tuna salad? A smoothie with protein powder/peanut butter/Greek yogurt is pretty filling.0

Or Celery with peanut butter or almond butter, cucumber boats stuffed with cream cheese or cottage cheese. Do you like meat substitutes? I like Morningstar Farms better than Gardenburger (less rice).It looks like Morningstar garden veggie burger has 6 g net carb and their veggie sausage has 3 g net carb0

This was my suggestion also! I generally don't eat "normal" breakfast food" for breakfast - sometimes it's leftover pot roast or chicken, sometimes eggs, sometimes a smoothie with protein powder, sometimes just some deli meat or a piece of cheese.0 -
This morning I had smoked salmon philly rolls for breakfast (homemade)
I took a sheet of nori which was .5carbs, smeared some softened cream cheese on it, put smoked salmon, cucumber strips and capers in and rolled it up and sliced. I ate 2 entire rolls and was stuffed.
No one says you have to eat eggs 0 -

That sounds good! I might try it with regular cream cheese and whole eggs...I personally don't use any fat free/low fat stuff when eating low carb.0

Agreed, those cheesecakes sound great but the fat is what keeps ya full so I stick to full fat.0

that sounds great! thanks for the tip 0

I make a warm gruel (farina like) with coconut flour, psyllum husk powder and protein powder.
Yield: 1 serving
Heat up 1 cup milk or milk substitute (I use Vanilla u/s almond milk) to almost boiling.
While the milk is heating, mix together 1 Tbsp. coconut flour, 1 Tbsp. psyllum husk powder, and 2 Tbsp. protein powder, pinch of cinnamon and pinch of salt.
Pour the milk into your bowl. Add the dry ingredients, stir till no lumps remain. Cover and let sit at room temperature 5-30 minutes.
Add Stevia or sugar substitute to taste. Sometimes I add a small handful of nuts and nuke it briefly to warm it back up.
This usually stays with me for 4-5 hours. You should be able to find any ingredient at a big grocery or health food store. I also shop at I-Herb.com for stuff like the psyllum husk powder if you can't find it locally.0 -
I like to make pancakes with flaxmeal....
3 Tablespoons Flaxmeal
1 Egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Davinci SF Vanilla Syrup (I've also used Caramel which is good)
Mix all ingredients and let sit for a minute. Heat a skillet and melt a little bit of butter in the skillet. Then just cook like pancakes. You can get 2 pancakes out of this. Top with SF Syrup.

I'll just copy what I said on another board when someone asked this question (adding some new ideas too).
string cheese or cheese cubes
celery with ranch or full fat sour cream dip
almonds or peanuts or pecans (these are high calorie so make sure to measure out the serving size exactly)
full fat ricotta cheese
spoonful of peanut butter
sugar free Jello
a low carb yogurt like Kroger's CARBmaster or Dannon Light & Fit Carb & Sugar Control (these brands have 3 net carbs)
I've also just added some flax seed and Splenda to unsweetened almond/coconut/soy milk (whichever you prefer, just so it's unsweetened) before and ate it like you would a cereal.
I'll usually have one or two of the above and then I pair it with hot tea with splenda or diet soda.
I hope this helps!0
