Low Carb, high protien breakfast ideas

egg whites scrambles with turkey pepperoni or turkey suasage with a side of Cottage cheese

Someone posted a great recipe on here a couple of weeks ago... I modified it a little for my taste

I call them "mini-quiche"

4-6 egg whites
1/3 cup shredded cheese (I use the weight watchers shredded cheese)
mushrooms
bell peppers
spinach
1 tbsp olive oil

Sautee the mushrooms, peppers and spinach. Mix the veggies, cheese and egg whites. Pour mixture into muffin pans and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Add or subtract veggies to taste. 4 egg whites will yeild 6 and 6 egg whites will yield 8. About 50 calories each. Filling and yummy.

i love scrambled eggs with sweet onion , mushrooms, spinach and goat or feta cheese. i spray the pan with pam, first cook the onions, then add mushrooms, then eggs, then spinach and cheese. love it

I wouldn't personally be full w/ just a fruit smoothie. I do a smoothie in the morning that has protein and healthy fats along w/ fruits for taste and it keeps me full until lunch. It's relatively low carb/low sugar (only carbs from fruit/veg). It generally looks like this:

1 scoop protein powder (100 cals, 25g protein) - Now sports, whey isolate, plain
1 Tbsp high lignan flax seed oil (healthy fats, omega 3s) (110 cals)
1 Tbsp ground flax seeds (30 cals)
3/4 to 1 cup spinach or kale (you don't taste it) (16 cals or less)
2/3 cup frozen blueberries OR 1 cup frozen strawberries (50ish cals)
1 kiwi (peeled) OR 1/2 banana (sometimes I skip both) (50ish cals)
A little water to get it to blend
sometimes 1/8 - 1/4 cup Fage 0% plain greek yogurt for creaminess and additional protein

Tuna and fat free american cheese, egg white omelet. done.

BLT's on whole grain pita bread are great in the morning! (you can add a little mayo if you like) Or you could do a turkey wrap with lowfat cheese and hummus .And I always have a handful of berries and/or almonds and walnuts each morning. But mainly just balance all day....add protein in every meal and it keeps your sugar under control and counter acts the carbs. A spoonful of peanut butter , or cheese is good if you eat something carb-filled

Check out paleo recipes. They tend to be pretty low carb. Typical breakfast foods (pancakes, waffles, toast, english muffins, cereal) are carb heavy so you may need to change up how to view breakfast foods.

You can make pancakes without flour: 3 bananas, 3 eggs, 1/2c almond butter, 1t cinnamon. Add more almond butter if the batter is thin. Blend and pour as small pancakes. Use really ripe bananas so you don't need additional sweetener. Grease the pan really well and don't flip until it's very well cooked on the first side. I really like these - they taste like banana bread (except no refined flours, refined sugar or added oil).

Hard boiled eggs.

Anything with almond butter or almonds.

Eggs, veggies, ground meat, spices - baked in a muffin tin.

Bacon

Unconventional breakfasts - leftovers, salads, grilled chicken, etc

I just made these awesome little breakfast cups. Take a muffin pan and line each cup with a slice of ham. Then pour 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters into each cup, add a pinch of cheese and whatever seasonings/herbs you like (chives, salt, pepper). You can experiment with different types of ingredients (different hams, different cheeses, etc.). I used sharp cheddar cheese and a maple glazed ham. Mine ended up at 15 g of protein and 3 g of carbs, but I used a really sugary ham. Good luck!

eggs/egg whites and meat.

Every work day I have egg whites with ham in a self contained omelete. On weekends it is always bacon and eggs. (not just because low carb I just LOVE bacon!)

Hiya everyone

im trying to reduce the fat around my middle which i know therefore means trying to keep starchy carbs to a minimum

Reducing starchy carbs won't help spot-reduce fat. If you're reducing them to reduce calories, then that's fine, but it's a caloric deficit that reduces fat, not a carbohydrate-reduction itself.

can anyone help me think of any low calorie/carb and high protein breakfast ideas please?

Mine is typically 2 whole eggs (fried/scrambled/whatever) with bacon or sausage and an ounce of cheese. That's pretty much no-carb.

i was thinking of a fruit smoothie but its so high in sugar that im worried it will convert to stomach fat

I have low-carb smoothies quite often. I use a high-quality protein powder (whey isolate, 93% protein) with heavy cream (for caloric/fat content) and a good handful of berries and sometimes a few baby spinach leaves. Today's was about 10g of net-carbs.

As for being worried it will "convert to stomach fat" ... only if your in a caloric surplus.

... and to the guy who said:

Low carb breakfast? I understand you're trying to lose weight, but limiting carbs in the morning won't help. You have to consume carbs and should put them in your breakfast meal and pre workout meal.

Actually, you don't "have to consume carbs" at all. That's a complete myth and not supported by human biochemistry. Many people choose a very-low-carb diet to control certain diseases or metabolic conditions, and in many cases they've been doing it for decades.
