    Seek better advice, bread is fine...

    I normally eat 2 eggs and make a piece of toast using Dave's killer bread (2g of fat, 250mg omega 3, 22g whole grains) and top it with Greek yogurt and w.e fruit I have in my house. around 300 calories depending how much yogurt and the type of fruit.

    I like eating eggs with a protein (bacon, chicken breast, pork) sizzled in olive oil and half an avocado. Nom nom. It's what I had for breakfast this morning.

    I like a runny egg on a bowl of steel cut oatmeal.

    What's in your refrigerator? I will make an omelet for dinner tonight, and based on what I have I think it will include mushrooms, asparagus, and spinach, plus some feta cheese. I'll probably have some smoked whitefish on the side, but that's me, and might seem weird.

    I'm having a hard boiled egg in my salad as part of my lunch today. I'm no chef so it's simple and yummy. Spinach, coleslaw salad mix, egg and a bit of salt and pepper.

    Bacon. Lots of it.

    I can't, I am a Muslim.

    Shhhhhhhhhhh...nobody has to know.

    Is there such a thing as goat bacon?

    The turkey bacon is a lie....

    regardless of religion, if he is worried about the fat content in bread... bacon is not the best choice :P

    Wholegrain bread is high in fat?! :huh:

    Yeah it's this brand that is high in fat for some reason.

    Just eat the bread. I love multigrain flat outs or high protein wraps with a little salsa and spinach and egg.

    If you really don't want bread (even though bread is not inherently bad...) try a fried egg on a potato yum!

    The seeded bread has 10 grams of fat in 2 slices. That's the only bread I have.

    Ten grams of fat is not terrible. I would finish off the loaf and then just get lower fat bread if you want that or switch to something else at that time. I don't limit my fat but if I wanted to, that is what I would do. Eating the bread for a few more days isn't the end of the world.

    But it is still the answer...

    I like to scramble with onion, bell pepper and black beans and then top with avocado and salsa. Soooo good.

    Eggs are the most versatile of the proteins. I go through my vegetable drawer, chop whatever I have on hand, and do a slow pan roast in a little oil or butter. Add some pepper too. I pour the beaten eggs over the veggies and flip.

    You may also consider putting your scrambled eggs in a wrap.

    Sauteed vegetables go well with eggs. Onions, mushrooms, and peppers are great. Tomatoes are also good, but you probably need to cook them until most of the moisture is gone, so you don't get watery eggs. Sliced raw tomatoes also go well with eggs.

    Vegetables are nutritious and will fill you up. And as long as you don't use a lot of oil or fat cooking them, they're low calorie.

    Carbs that is not bread? Potato!

    A traditional American breakfast is eggs & hashbrowns...eggs & potato pancakes. Many egg casseroles have potatoes. Many quiches have egg & potato. These are often paired together.

    For lunch, I often boil a sweet potato & put half of it into scrambled eggs. Then I use the other half the next day. It is a meal very high in potassium.

    Personally also love, love, love spinach in my eggs.

    (When I was in Jordan, humous, pita, & pickled vegetables was the traditional breakfast our host treated me to.)
