Healthy carbs for breakfast

If the carbs you referenced keep you full, keep eating them.

Have you tried having beans for breakfast? Those usually keep me full until lunch time.

That's pretty much all that's left.

I eat oatmeal with blueberries, a pinch of salt, & a bit of cinnamon, a bit of sugar/sweetener. Sometimes I make overnight oats with the same, plus yogurt. It's yummy!

I also have hypothyroidism and I don't cut anything out. (Last night I ate 99 grams of carbs for one meal. English Muffin, hashbrown, sweet potato, asparagus.) My go to morning carb (aside from what you have already determined "off limits") is potatoes with onion and pepper.
If your doctor wants you to cut carbs for another medical reason, that's a different story. But if you are being properly medicated all you need is a calorie deficit, just like anyone else.
I love bread, rice, and pasta. And If they fit my calories and I am consistent with my logging and exercise, I lose weight just fine.

Try adding nuts to your oatmeal - that always fills me up for a long time!

You'll feel fuller longer if you eat more protein along with healthy fats. Also increasing fiber intake will make you feel fuller longer. Switch to more complex carbs (whole grains and high fiber). Eat things like walnuts, almonds, all natural peanut butter, avocados, olive oil. If you must have bread switch to ezekiel bread, its a good source of fiber and none of the added sugar and chemicals that are in other store bought breads. Stop eating white bread and white rice, its no good for you. Eat more complex carbs (healthy carbs). I usually eat a slice of ezekiel bread with either peanut butter or avocado spread and plain Greek yogurt with raspberries; or 2 egg omelette with tomato, avocado and feta and spinach, or steel cut oats with walnuts, almonds and berries for breakfast. I also always throw a tablespoon of chia seed into my yogurt, omelette or oatmeal to up the fiber. I am usually very full and sometime almost forget about lunch because I am so full.

You are probably lacking bulk in your breakfast why you are feeling hungry - if I only had an egg or protein shake I would be ravenous.

I make oatmeal (which you could try this with your quinoa instead of oats if gf oats aren't easy to find where you are) with chia seeds, flax and hemp hearts. The chia seeds puff up and are a great source of fiber, magnesium and calcium and keep me full for a very long time. If I had oats on their own I am not as successful at staying full.

You could also try making a hash - sweet potato, lots of peppers, spinach or kale, onions, other veggies and seasonings, a hearty start to the day.

Another option is to make a batch of freezer breakfast burritos. If I use a low carb/high fiber tortilla (ole wellness or la tortilla factory), scramble some egg whites, use center cut bacon, plenty of onion, spinach, peppers, and mushrooms and a lowfat cheese I can get them around 200 calls each. I just freeze them seam side down on a metal baking sheet and transfer to a freezer bag once frozen.
