I'm trying to stick to a no to low carb life style. The hardest is breakfast as I am getting tired of eggs...omeletes, sunny side up, scrambled, etc. I have greek yogurt as a snack and trying to avoid too much fruit due to the sugars. Toasts are looking better and better as the days go by... >:) Any ideas to add some variety to my breakfast?

    Eat something else that you like. Think beyond common "breakfast foods". Have a salad or some soup or meatballs. Whatever you like.

    It takes some prep work, but I've made these cauliflower toasts before and frozen them so I have them on hand from breakfast. http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipes/a50033/cauliflower-toast-recipe/

    Top with some heirloom tomato and avocado. Or cream cheese, a little arugala, red onion, smoked salmon and capers.

    Migas!

    • Overnight oats w/ blueberries & strawberries
    • Oat flour pancakes w/ a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and a shmear of peanut butter
    • Cheese, spinach, and chickpea quesadilla w/ a little pineapple salsa on the side for dipping

    I am a carboholic... but if your looking for something more low-carb, try some nuts, cheese, maybe sliced meats (think of what the french would eat for breakfast) with maybe some olives or cucumbers?

    Carbs are your friend though!

    Boiled eggs sliced on salad. Pickled eggs: sounds gross till you try it. Use the "juice" from a can of pickled beets to marinate a peeled, boiled egg for 3 days. This has a sweet pickle taste, a treat, without high carb or high sugar, in a high protein package.

    I used to do keto, but it wasn't sustainable for me! Now I'm just low carb. One of my favorite recipes was this:

    http://www.mastercook.com/app/recipe/WebRecipeDetails?recipeId=5079605

    Except I used 1/2 cup shredded cheese instead of 1/3 and I mixed it all together and cooked it and didn't do anything different with the cream cheese! I make a batch and freeze them and pop them in the oven for ten min and they are good to go!

    Keto is a tough one. I could never go below 25 grms. For bread, if it is available to you is Mahler's Bakery, "Califonria Lifestyle Flax Protein Bread". It has 80 cals, 9 grm carbs, 4 grms fiber, 1 grm sugar and 9 grms protein per slice and it actually tastes pretty darn good. I lasted three days and I had such a throbbing head from Keto! I stay between 40-60 carbs a day. You could try ham but be careful of the sodium. I would stay away from processed meats, blehck!

    low/no carb is not sustainable for everyone. I can go 2 weeks and then I'm done.
    You need to do what works for you.

    Currently I am eating a balanced diet and much happier this way. I just make sure to keep within my calorie limit and eat decent food.

    Breakfast: oats/kellogs special k with cup of milk, sometimes a fruit or eggs and toast with bacon
    Lunch: some form of meat/chicken/fish, veggies and a starch (rice, pasta, potatoes), most important thing with the starch is quantities, don't eat too much.
    Supper: Same as lunch

    All I'm saying... A slice of toast wouldn't hurt now and then... But 4 slices at one go might be bad.

    Goodluck!

    When I get tired of eggs. I have 2 lunches instead. Today I had a turkey lettuce wrap for breakfast because egg whites did not sound great to me but tonight I will probably have breakfast because I love breakfast foods.

    I love Ezekiel flourless bread. Its super good and is very healthy. Its in the freezer section. Just pop it in the microwave for 30sec and toast it. Really helps my carb fix!

    I make a quiche too. You can really do whatever you want in there. Eggs, sausage, milk and cheese. Or add onions if you like them or anything you want. You can make as much or as little as you want. It's nice and easy.

    No such thing as breakfast food. Eat your "dinner" for "breakfast". Somehow ppl have been programmed into thinking that breakfast means cereal or eggs for some stupid reason.

    Coz it made a fortune for the breakfast food companies. And John Harvey Kellogg invented and marketed Corn Flakes to help prevent 'self pleasure'.

    Soooooo true!!!!

    good protein shake? Add some almond milk, greek yogurt, and berries - I like the Orgain vanilla plant based protein powder- I'm not low carb now but did it in the past and used this protein powder a lot (and still do)

    I switch it up. Eggs over easy with jalapeno peppers and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Another day scambled eggs with cheddar shredded and a piece of bacon. Another day an omelette with salsa and a tbsp of sour cream. Or I make hard boiled eggs diced with avocado and hot sauce as like a cold egg salad. I also flavor my eggs with a sausage if I don't use bacon. Sometimes I just veto eggs and go for some avocado, or a half cup of Greek yogurt.

    Just came back from a 10 day trip to Paris, Madrid and Barcelona...I couldn't help it...gained 5 pounds...but the food, the wine and the experience was worth it. Now back to my routine, thanks for all the ideas...it will definitely make it easier...i think I had my fill of bread for years anyway :blush:
