Doesn't like eggs

I need help!
My husband doesn't like eggs. He never grew up eating them because his dad is highly alergic to poultry/eggs. So he never developed a liking for the texture or taste. I, on the other hand, have no problem eating eggs. I love them in fact.
But...he is trying to work on losing weight and eating less carbs, more protien, etc. (I've tried getting him on here but he's being stuborn. One step at a time I guess.) Most meals, I have no problem with meeting these requirements for both of us. It's breakfast that's the problem.
I need some low calorie, higher protien, low carb, wholesome food ideas for breakfast that I can make up quick (or prep ahead of time) to feed him. He's not a big veggie nut. Doesn't like tomatoes or peppers but will eat Broccoli and Califlower, lettuce and carrots.
Help? Suggestions? Ideas? Websites to look at? Receipes?

I think eggs are disgusting but I can eat them if you hide the flavor in a fritatta.0

Greek yogurt. My fav brand (Fage) has 18 grams of protein in a individual cup of the 0%. Add in whatever you like- fruit, nuts, honey for sweetness, etc. The 2% tastes even better if you can spare the calories!0

Get some yogurt and mix in some fruit and a little granola. Bacon is low carb and actually low calories. You could also do a small steak.0

Mmmmm eggs with sriracha = amazing mouthgasm!0

Why does it have to be low carb? What about some really good oatmeal with fresh fruit?0

Oatmeal with blueberries, walnuts and vanilla protein powder is what I have for breakfast EVERYday. My cholesterol is now 142!
Keeps me full until lunch and I never get tired of it!!0 -
How about chicken or a ham sammich or a pork chop? There's no law that says you have to have eggs and toast or cereal for breakfast and can only have roast beef for dinner.
Also, why can't he feed himself?0 -
high protein cereal, protein shakes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, greek yogurt and granola, tofu scrambles, oatmeal.0

Oh, he can feed himself. But since I'm in the kitchen doing my own stuff, I do his in the morning too. It saves time and keeps us from running into each other
Plus he takes care of the animals in the morning and a few other chores, so it's an even trade off. 0 -

No it doesn't 'have' to be low carb. He's just hoping that it's not cereal and skim milk day after day after day. Oatmeal with fresh fruit sounds good. What kind of oatmeal? There are so many kinds out there. What's the 'best' for digestion, etc?0 -

Vanilla protien powder is a good idea! How much do you usually make yourself in the morning? And how much powder do you put in? Receipe please?0 -

This is a good idea for summer months breakfasts! We're the kind of people that like warm meals for breakfast during cold months (live in the midwest) and cooler meals for the warmer months. I've seen Fage and know that it's some of the better high protien and low carb out there. I'll pick some up to maybe make snacks for lunches. Thanks for the ideas.0 -
Try lookiing for oatmeal with a higher fiber content0

He likes bacon
It's just getting him to 'control' his intake of it. It's one of those things that he can never eat just one slice....or two...or three. 0 -

I always thought I hated eggs because they smell like farts, but recently started eating them in the past year. Love eggs now.0

I can't stand eggs either but have had no problem with protein. Cottage cheese is great in the morning. Also, if he's not big on typical breakfast foods because they usually have eggs, why limit yourself to "breakfast food"? I know lots of people who will have grilled chicken for breakfast.0

He can eat the same food that you eat at other meals. Just because it is breakfast doesn't mean he has to eat breakfast foods.0

If he doesn't have any trouble meeting his macros at any other meal except breakfast, then why not just eat the same foods he eats at other meals for breakfast? It doesn't have to be "breakfast food" in order to be eaten in the morning. If he likes a food, and it fits in his macros, he can just as easily eat it for breakfast as any other meal. Before my husband moved in, I used to regularly eat dinner leftovers for breakfast--I only stopped because my husband eats all of whatever I make for dinner (he has the metabolism and build of a greyhound).0

Bam!! Just what I was thinking. Who cares if he eats eggs and can't the boy get himself breakfast?0 -
I cannot stand the smell and taste of pure eggs or eggy foods like omelettes.
I recently discoved that you can eggs to your oatmeal and you cannot taste them at all but they give the oatmeal a creamy texture plus all the protein.
Here's the topic with the recipe:

I LOVE oatmeal!
The instant packets are great, BUT they have a lot of sodium in them so I usually go with "Old Fashioned Oats." I like mine "chewy" and the quick oats end up "mushy" so I make it just like it was instant by just adding hot water from the coffee machine at work. My FAVORITE is "Almond Joy Oatmeal." Half cup Old Fashioned Oats, a 100cal pack of Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds chopped up, and two tablespoons of coconut.... Just add hot water.... Mmmmmm
But on the subject of eggs LOL... I can't stand over easy anymore (grew up on over easy). It MUST be an omelet for me... Or an "Egg Basket' ... Line a muffing tin with ham slices, add some chopped mushrooms and peppers, add a beaten egg, top with a sprinkle of cheddar... Bake at 350 for 20mins. These can be microwaved for 20 seconds for a great breakfast on the go. I LOVE these because while oatmeal is great only eggs can keep me going till lunch.0 -
