Low Carb Breakfast Ideas?

adkins has many products that are great for breakfast, including a protien drink that is 140 calories. Delicious!

I'm doing a low carb diabetic diet because it's something I can continue as a permanent lifestyle change. I'm already dropping weight with it after only being on the program for 4 days and I feel GREAT!

For breakfast I allow myself 2 meats (eggs, turkey bacon, etc) and 1 starch (15 grams of carb such as a slice of wheat toast). If I'm in the mood for eggs I'll do 1/2 cup of eggbeaters, 1 slice of toast with a tsp of margarine, and I get another 15 grams of carb in my milk serving so I typically choose a low calorie yogurt. Carb Masters from Kroger is the BEST for low carb yogurt. You can jazz the eggs up with a little salsa.

When I'm not in the mood for eggs I usually do 1 cup of Special K cereal with 1/4 lowfat or fat free milk. Either breakfast will typically quell my hunger until lunch, which is my largest meal. I also do a snack in between lunch and supper, and then try to eat a lighter/smaller supper and leave a few carbs available for a low carb snack later in the evening to prevent me from overeating. I haven't needed to do 6 meals too often, but I have it planned that way so I don't sabatoge myself if I get hungry.

I'd love to see something like this too. I'm not a huge breakfast person, so I never know what to have! Today all I had was my vitamins and a turkey sausage patty.

This is sort of a tough egg to crack (pun intended lol)
My first recommendation is to force yourself to love eggs because thats the best way to go
my second recommendation is 3 egg whites whipped along with fresh herbs salt, and a no carb/low cal cheese stick cut into parts (it binds the eggs together)

I hated eggs for a long time too and when i ate them i always needed them with carbs like a potato or toast but ive sort of become the master of making eggs super tasty just because i didnt like them so much
eventually my recipes started to warp my eggs into something tasty :-)

Another really interesting tid bit is to cook with tofu

the no carb diets sort of disgusted me because my ex use to be on it hard core and i just thought cutting out a food group was craziness (no judgement) and im also grossed out by eatting meat flesh every day :-/ so try tofu and you may like it!

I make this microwave muffin almost every day for breakfast-

I have a waffle recipe that I've tweaked. It has 140 cal, 27 carbs, 1 fat, and 8 protein per waffle. Use a half cup of batter for each waffle and I spray Pam on waffle iron before each waffle. The recipe makes 10 waffles and we freeze them and reheat them in the toaster and we use sugar free syrup or smucker's sugar free jams. They are delicious, even our kids didn't have a clue they were healthy!


Whole wheat waffles

Stone Buhr - Whole Wheat Flour, 3 cup (30g)
Baking Powder - Clabber Girl Mk, 2.5 tsp
Baking soda, 1 tsp
Generic - Table Salt, 1 teaspoon
Treetop Applesauce - Natural Apple Sauce - No Sugar Added, 1/4 cup
Generic - Vanilla Extract, 0.5 tsp
Egg White - Large, Generic, 4 large egg white
Generic - Ground Cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon
Generic - Fat Free Milk, 1.5 cup
Water - 2 cup

Add all ingredients together, use Pam spray to spray waffle iron before each ½ cup of batter.

learn to love eggs.

I like scrambled cheese eggs with stir fried broccoli and cauliflower with cream cheese, seasoned well. So satisfying and so delicious.

I am doing Atkins...modified and you can peek at my diary....I am getting fiber and no problems "going"

If you are worried about fiber, I love those Ole Mexican wraps that are low carb high fiber about 17 carbs but 12 fibers so they net only 5 countable carbs.

I usually do that for lunch or even breakfast with eggs salsa and cheese.
The wrap with low sodium lunchmeat and baby spinach and thin sliced cuke and roasted red peppers and a bit of cayenne pepper is awesome

For breakfast you can do EAS protein and valio 7carb milk that tastes awesome....I had that today with pumpkin pie spice in it and it was like drinking a piece of pie! they have apple pie spices in the grocery store yo can add to your shakes too or dried mint to add to a chocolate shake yum.

Nut butters are good to add in too for a creamier heartier shake.

cottage cheese, chobani yogurts all good choices for low carb high protein....if you are looking to add fiber....open up a few glucomannan fiber pills and mix it into a small amount of cold liquid and add it into your foods for fiber increase.

I have done South Beach in the past and one recipe I found online that actually is very good and convenient is "Bacon Egg and Cheese Cups" you take a muffin pan and fill it with cupcake liners then take cooked turkey bacon and put them in a circle in the pan then crack an egg in the middle then sprinkle cheese on top and bake for like 20 mins these are GREAT and easy to save and heat up later to take with you on the go....

another low carb option I've started eating is Lower Sugar maple/brown sugar oatmeal except I used to not be able to STAND oatmeal but I add a small teaspoon of peanut butter and now I just LOVE it!

You can go on google and search low carb breakfast ideas or south beach breakfast ideas there are TONS of forums where people list very yummy recipes that can spice up the South beach meal plan which is helpful especially during those first two weeks!!
