Breakfast Options

I like two whole eggs and two extra egg whites scrambled. You can also boil the eggs too and just sprinkle a little salt on them to eat. I am taking that you are trying to lower your carb intake... If I am wrong, then boiled eggs sliced over toast is a great breakfast and pretty low carb and healthy.

If you can eat carbs, then oatmeal boiled in a non-fat milk and adding cinnamon and some low-sugar maple syrup (and splenda if you need a little extra sweet) Is great too!

My three favs are: 3 eggs (2 whites 1 whole) , 1 cup broccoli and 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar.


Directions: Scramble and enjoy!


Oatmeal w/ 1 tbsp peanut butter and a smashed banana mixed in

And

Egg white omelet w/ feta cheese, tomatoes and spinach

I either have eggs or I used extra lean beef mince and make burgers - about 155g each xxx

i have 30grams of porridge oats made with water, then a splash of milk, cinnamon and splenda followed by a protein shake. 24 grams of both carbs and protein.

tastes great, its very warming for those cold mornings

Uhhhhggggg,! Eggs are starting to make me feel sick every time I eat them!! They are so low in carbs though. Now what???

Don't eat anything that your body doesn't respond positively to. Celery and asparagus are awesome for a body, but tear up my stomach...so I stay away from them.

There are other low carb options out there including protein shakes if you like those. Or, you could actually try some oatmeal. Even though they appear to be a high carb meal, there is so much fiber in them that the carbs breakdown so slowly that it is definitely not the same as though you just had fruits.

Also remember that as long as you have carbs and protein together, you don't need to go really low carb. Proteins slow down the digestion of carbs like fiber does, so when you have protein and carbs together you get a much less insulin spike if any at all. That's why spagetti with meat sauce is better for low carb diets than spagetti with marinara sauce.

And another thing to keep in mind is this: even with low carb diets, you still need to have some carbs in there anyway. And, experts say that it is best to have your carbs earlier in the day than later. That way you have more of an opportunity to burn it away with your exercise and your daily activities.

My common staple since I started with this site is yogurt. I have found though that a bowl of Crispix with skim milk is only 150 calories.

Otherwise I've had 2 eggs scrambled

A whole wheat english muffin with sugar free jelly/jam

If I could find Special K Waffles again I would have 2 of those with fat free yogurt on top instead of syrup. Those were sooo good!

I usually have a banana. Lately, Ive eaten 2 slices of low sodium turkey bacon, with an egg on a peice of multigrain bread - sometimes 15 g of cheese!

I try to switch it up every few day. Mostly through the week when I have to work I have a Special K cereal bar with a piece of fruit They come in several flavors, and everyone I've tried is really good. On the weekends I will have either a bagel thin with sugar free preserves, jelly/jam, cereal (either cheerios or honey nut cheerios) in 2% or 1% milk. Occassionally I will fix my own breakfast sandwich using a bagel thin, 2 egg omelet (you could add any veggies you like), 2 slices of low sodium bacon & a little cheese ( very delish & filling).

For Cereal I really like Kashi Go Lean Cruch, it's great with a 1/2 cup of Almond milk or a 1/2 cup of you're favorite yogurt adding fruit pieces with the yogurt is really yummy too. I've tried peaches, blackberries and bananas. They were all super yummy.When I don't feel like cereal I like to have 1 cup of Cascade Fresh Fat Free Blueberry yogurt with banana slices and/or blackberries.

three suggestions:
1) cook steel cut oats in the crock pot over night in bulk. put the leftovers in the fridge for the following days. (use twice the recommended liquid, i use half almond or silk milk and half water) add an granny smith apple, cinnamon and molasses for taste and YUMMMO!
2) i love to prepare my veggies in advance and then cook up my 1 egg, 2 egg white omelets. warm the veggies while the eggs are cooking, and you have protein and are on your way to lots of veggies for the day.
3) why must we eat "breakfast" foods for our first meal? find leftovers and eat those.

and i also have a meal replacement shake that i will have for breakfast when i'm headed out the door early in the morning. it's packed with protein and over 70 ingredients. it's chocolate and taste good too!

For my wife and I we love to eat great tasting food. We shred up any veggies we have, zucchinni, squash, carrot, onion, parsnip, turnip, potato. After they are shredded we will fry or gril them up with some sausage or oscar meyer turkey bacon. Add as many eggs as you want. Great energy and flavor for the start of the day. You can prepare everything the night before as well so you just warm it and go! Good luck!

Warm Quinoa with honey cinnamon and banana!

or

Greek Yogurt (Chobani brand is amazing) with Granola and fresh Berries!

or

SMOOTHIES!!!!!!! Frozen Banana/Frozen Berries/Greek Yogurt or Soy Milk/Avocado

WOW we must have matching taste buds. :happy: that's exactly what i would have suggested. oh, and if the quinoa is too much work to prepare (although you can do it ahead of time), try a quick-cooking grain such as barley

Boiled eggs are easy and portable. Oatmeal with almonds and blueberries.

Canadian bacon with egg on a slice of whole wheat toast

I also make a breakfast burrito with fajita sized flour tortilla, one laughing cow cheese wedge and two scrambled eggs.

Always with a glass of skim milk.
