Hello!

So I've been gluten free for almost two years, dealing with my diagnosis of Celiac disease. Finally on track to losing the weight and as much as I love my gluten free recipe sites, their not as low in carbs as I'd like! Plus I'm a bit tired of eating eggs and egg whites so looking to branch out into new breakfast territory! Any tasty ideas for breakfast besides eggs, fruit, and yogurt that's also low carb?

Thanks :D

    this is my problem too. I've been coeliacs for about 8 years now. I just eat lunch time food for breakfast quite often. I was buying cereal but at $8 a pop and when it's not even healthy is rather expensive. Been having smoothies since starting this calorie diet a week ago - i dont think i want any more yoghurt!!!!! I by that vogels bread but that's really high calorie, although I worked out 2 pieces of that (going of this food database) with whatever on it is about 400/500 cals, so is a complete meal calorie wise. I'm concerned doing this diet does not provide you with enough vitamins cause you're limiting what you eat and we're limited anyway aye. Sorry i tried to think of low carb breakfast and came up with nothing. I also am sick of eggs. I've been making an omelette for a change - that's nice : ) good luck
    there's this recipe - http://www.healtheries.co.nz/Healthy-and-Gluten-Free-recipes/Gluten-and-Wheat-Free-Recipes/Snacks-and-Meals/Mexican-Corn-Bread?PrintPage=true&PrintTemplate=PrintTemplate.ascx

    is low carb compared to using the normal bread mix. I use this flour cause it's cheaper. If you replace sour cream with yoghurt and maybe replace oil with marg (although without oil will be dry maybe - will let you know, i'm gonna go make some : ) and replace cheese with 1/2 quantity of parmesan and/or feta - parmesan is low cal. this is way healthier from what i can tell than buying or making bread using rice flour. there's a recipe for almond meal bread too but that would be REALLY expensive to make and is high cal. : )

    ok just made that recipe above and it's REALLY nice.
    I substituted corn for a chopped zucchini = less carbs and substituted cheese for about 3 Tablespoons grated parmesan and a grated carrot for moisture.
    It's really moist and fluffy which i'm surprised at cause normally when i make stuff with this corn flour it comes out dry.
    have just worked out it's calorie content and unless you substitute the oil it's really high per slice. oil alone in loaf = 500 cal. which if you got 12 slices is 159 per slice but could probably make it 100 if you used no fat marg or something. Is nice though!

    Breakfast doesn't have to be just breakfast foods - anything you like in other meals can be eaten in the morning, too.

    Thanks so much for the idea! I do Udi's bread I think it's around 170 calories per slice, and the slice is the size of the palm of my hand? I will def. have to give this a try though!! And yeah.. its def. hard to get the right amount of vitamins an other nutrients being celiac. I do a multi vitamin along side fish oil an calcium. I'm not sure if it helps but i'd like to think it does :) Thank you again!

    I've been gluten free for 2 years, also. However, I don't have celiac. I have been making smoothies lately for breakfast. I get sick of eggs, also. But, they are cheap and filling. Yesterday I made candian bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I microwaved an egg, added a piece of candian bacon, a slice of 2% cheese and put it on 2 pieces of Udi's bread toast.

    have a look at diabetic recipes. they have some nice stuff and they're healthy as diabetics cant eat high carb food. I'm coeliac - have been for 10 years.
    I dont eat any different to anyone else really but then i'm a cook so i've figured out how to make everything.

    just a suggestion on the carb thing - i eat organic brown rice and buckwheat flour from an organic store. both are low GI to the best of my knowledge, if i use them for baking i add zanthum gum. you could make fritters, muffins etc. I use a 3/4 rice flour, 1/4 buckwheat and 1 tsp zanthum gum per cup of flour. everything comes out beautiful and people dont even know the things ive made - cakes etc - are gluten free!

    it's 3/4 cup rice flour to 1/2 cup buckwheat or there abouts for the ratio. too much buckwheat and it's gloopy. too little and its dense : )
