I'm doing low carb and don't like eggs, that really takes a lot of options away from me!
Anyone have any alternative ideas?
Thank you!

    This link will take you to a recipe for protein "brownies". I baked mine in muffin tins and made "chocolate" protein muffins. I would suggest looking into recipes that utilize protein powder to help you reach your protein goals without having to use eggs. Even just a good protein shake in the morning makes a great breakfast :smile:

    Sara Lee 45 cal. bread only has 18-carbs in a slice...this opens up a whole avenue of sammiches for you...crammed into a single slice of bread :-) Peanut butter, bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, pulled pork, etc.

    There are other lower carb options including some tortilla, but IMO they don't taste as good.

    Don't laugh, but back in the day when I was doing low carb as well, I tried making crepe's as my "tortilla." It was good for a switch but I did not do it a second time. Also - crepe's may taste a tiny bit eggy.

    I go light for breakfast because i prefer to have a large meal late in the day to prevent night time snacking... I'm also lazy and don't want to cook anything for breakfast, so mine is a piece of fruit (usually apple) and 2Tbs of powdered peanut butter.

    I second the yogurt except that I'll add in some nuts and berries...e.g. Hazelnuts and blackberries or strawberries and walnuts or raspberries and almonds. Sometimes I'll use seeds instead of nuts like pumpkin seeds with blueberries is awesome! It's neat to experiment with different combinations.

    Leftovers from the previous day's dinner make a great breakfast. While not traditional breakfast food, it's usually quick and easy to prepare.

    Deli ham and slice of cheese wrapped around a piece of avocado
    Low carb protein bar such as Think Thin or Pure Protein
    If you are okay with fruit, then peanut butter and apple or banana

    Plain Greek yogurt with frozen fruit and chia seeds. Plain Greek yogurt by itself is tough to eat but the fruit and juices from the fruit make it awesome.

    Unconventional but easy:
    1. Try having some salad. Tuna, spinach, some lettuce, bell pepper (just an idea, you can throw in whatever veggies/protein you have)
    2. Leftovers (chicken, burger, whatever, just make some extra at night and eat that in the morning)
    3. Bacon, Spinach and green beans (seriously, this is soooo good)
    4. Breakfast sausage (check the label just in case)
    5. Soup
    6. anything!

    Breakfast is just another meal, don't stress too much over it. I have to say that not eating eggs limits your options of fun breakfasts (but you could check some AIP Paleo sites where there are people not eating eggs because of allergies/etc)

    Skyr Yogurt! It's 18g of protein and is so thick and creamy. I add 1 tbsp of cherry pie filling and it tastes like cheesecake.

    Avocado - either squash it and add Peper and salt or add finly chopped onions (also yummy with hardboiled egg but since u said no eggs..)

    Tuna salad- canned tuna, red pepper, onion, spring onions optional, jalapeño, pickled cucumber in brine and a tbs or two of mayo/yogurt.

    Protein shake, quest bar, greek yogurt, leftovers, lettuce/(deli) meat/avocado roll ups (or sandwich) are my go tos. I like small breakfast and med lunch or a BIG brunch around 11. Almost never "breakfast" food.

    Whatever you want to put in your facehole because food is food it doesn't care about time! Leftovers are perfectly a-ok for breakfast

    Rolled oats, almond milk, blueberries, cinnamon and chia seeds. Quick, healthy and loaded with protein and fiber.

    100g of almond milk, 35g of oats, 50g of frozen fruit and 15g of protein powder. Mix it all up and bung it in the microwave for 2 minutes for some seriously tasty porridge (oatmeal)

    That sounds amazing, thank you!

    Greek yogurt mixed with sugar free pudding mix and fruit. My current fave is the lemon flavor with strawberries and blueberries.

    I like nonfat or lowfat cottage cheese. Good with vegetables - try some tomato.

    I like to heat up crock pot chicken in some broth, and add some avocado and spices. Even a few steamed veggies in the mix is nice and comforting.

    I often eat something similar but I find the protein powder kind of "curdles" so I stopped using it. Does this happen to you?
