Hey, everyone. I just started here. This morning I typed in what I was having for breakfast, and it came up as being 27 carbs (I'm on a low-carb eating plan, post-gastric sleeve surgery, so this is about half the carbs I would eat in a whole day. Way too many for one meal!) So I was wondering, what are some of your go-to breakfasts that are high in protein and low in carbs? I work in the mornings, four days a week, so I need things that are going to be quick and easy!

    eggs (if you can do hard-boiled but i personally don't like those) - scrambled with diced veggies or salsa on-top. or if i can't cook, low-sodium almonds (count out the portion amount) and an apple or 1/2 grapefruit. :)

    Scrambled eggs with onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, ham or bacon in it. Awesome. With tangerine.

    I made huevos rancheros for breakfast this morning. 21 carbs, 36 grams of protein, and only a little over 400 calories. It wasn't the fastest meal to make, but it was DELICIOUS.

    You want someone high in protein and low in carbs and easy to make and good for on the go. That's hard because usually the convenience of breakfast is that it is made portable by wrapping it in some sort of carb (bread, tortilla etc). So for a high protein ready to go breakfast, I suggest making it the night before and simply reheating it in the morning and taking it with you. One of my favorites is an omelette/scramble. Each serving is 2 eggwhites, 1 egg (with yolk), 1 slice reduced fat pepperjack cheese, onions, bellpeppers, zucchini, and some chopped up turkey sausage links (the precooked variety). I just sautee the veggies and chopped sausage and when it's all nice and softened (the veggies), I add the eggs (I also like to add some fresh herbs like basil or dill or a bit of taragon) and scramble it all up. I tear up the slice of cheese and add it at the end and put it all in a microwaveable container. I usually make a few of these and it's about 300 cals per serving.

    Turkey, chicken, pork- doesn't matter really. You sometimes have to throw out "breakfast" in your mind because it usually means carbs-- oatmeal, toast, banana= carbs. Greek yogurt is a good protein source but watch the sugar. If you can eat it plain or with cinnamon or just a little bit of low sugar or no sugar jam it could work. Breakfast can be anything you want it to be. Add any meat you want to scrambled eggs, or have some cottage cheese and a handful of almonds.

    Baked scotch eggs? Hard boiled egg wrapped in sweet Italian sausage (I get the Jennie-O pack with 5 uncooked 3.9 oz (approx) links; one link per egg.

    Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

    230 calories (sausage, 160 calories; egg, 70 calories) Definitely portable.

    I have to be at work early and I am not a morning person, so every minute counts and no way I am cooking... Sometimes I have greek yougurt with frozen berries and maybe a table spoon of cereal or few nuts. Sometimes just some hot green tea with lemon to go. Often I just skip breakfast.

    Never skip breakfast, your body needs the energy and it's necessary to improve your metabolism. If you don't have time or don't like it have something ready the night before...

    Keep in mind that fruit = sugar = carbs. Don't avoid them because of it. Be selective or have a variation.

    Egg "muffins". Spray a muffin tin well. Chop any veggies, meat, cheese you like and add to the mufffin tin. Top with scrambled eggs(or whites) and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 min. You can make enough for the whole week and store them in the fridge. Just microwave a few seconds to warm.
