I'm starting to think that I don't eat enough before lunch during the day. By lunch time, I'm REALLY sick to my stomach. Nausea is my constant companion. After work I come home and binge eat. I'm determined to solve this issue NOW!

What are some large and healthy breakfast ideas?

Unfortunately I have some restrictions to my diet.
- Low Sugar because I'm Diabetic
- Gluten Free
- Low Carb (Below 30 grams)

Thank you for any ideas!

    Egg whites (That's always the answer right??) Add veggies, or cheese or maybe a small amount of ham.

    Just started making my own protein bars, since I mostly eat breakfast after the gym on my way to work. If you make them at home, you can adjust how big they are, how much protein, sugar, carbs, etc.

    Plain greek yogurt. I think 1C has 24g protein and 10g carbs.
    Eggs
    meats/cheeses
    veggies

    Not very traditional but you can get more bang for your buck this way especially if you are in the low carb/no gluten wagon.

    Eggs, turkey sausage (or pork, I just like turkey better), cottage cheese, veggie omelet...

    You might be nauseous if you're drinking coffee on an empty stomach. I know that makes me feel a little sick sometimes.

    Eggs, nuts and fruit are great breakfast foods! AND CHEESE!!

    Some things I like to eat for breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with some shredded cheese mixed in, a handful of red grapes or a small apple and a handful of almonds. I don't remember how many carbs grapes have, but you could omit that or just have only a few if needed.

    I have been really loving turkey bacon. One slice is 35 calories so for breakfast, I have 5 slices, and it is under 200 calories and totally filling. Yum!

    Instead of 1 large breakfast I eat 2 smaller breakfasts :smile: (and 2 lunches and 2 dinners - basically I'm a baby and need to eat every 2 hours or I get fussy)

    Today I had a banana and apple for breakfast #1 and a PB sandwich for breakfast #2

    Other common breakfasts for me: oatmeal w/ cinnamon and fruit and/or nuts, cereal w/ banana or blueberries and almond milk, bagel w/ PB & banana - basically the common theme is: grains, peanut butter and fruits

    I'd look for a gluten-free oatmeal (steel cut maybe)?

    I love to whisk two eggs in a large mug with salt and pepper, microwave for a minute, 15 seconds and add a little salsa on top. Done.

    I've been eating eggs pretty consistently for the last few months. I'll usually have one whole egg and a few egg whites scrambled with baby spinach and a serving of sharp cheddar cheese, along with a serving of fruit, some cherry tomatoes and a glass of milk.

    I usually eat two poached eggs, an avocado, a tomato on a corn tortilla. Sometimes I fry up some bacon with it :)

    I used to make a kabacha squash hash (or use sweet potato or butternut squash or regular potato) with onions, and garlic and a bunch of spices - then crack a soft boiled egg over it. Add some fruit on the side if you like. It's really yummy, and filling.

    Or making a scramble with eggs, peppers, onions, spinach, salsa, and some cheese if you want. Sometimes I added a little ham dry fried on the side. That's yummy too.

    Or greek yogurt, with berries, and some gluten free cereal to add a crunch on top.

    Or a soft boiled egg, some fruit, slice of cheese, and a half a wheat bun

    Or oatmeal with banana and chopped almonds

    Those are some of the most filling breakfasts I find I like - good luck :)

    Its not so bad. Slow cooker or rice cooker and cook over night! Cooks while you sleep. Done in 6 -8 hours.

    ^THIS

    A large meal causes a blood sugar spike and subsequent crash leading to increased hunger.

    For a diabetic I'd think this is even more critical because you want to maintain steady blood sugar levels and reduce large spikes that require additional insulin.
