I lose weight better by doing low carb so I am going to try it again. However, I can't eat eggs in the morning because they make me sick. They have always upset my stomach. I work a full time job and usually eat a pack of cheese and peanut butter crackers and water (yes, I know those are not low carb). I am needing suggestions of what I can fix or bring or buy to substitute the crackers and without being eggs but filling. Thanks.

    There are a % of PCOS sufferers that benefit from low carb.

    Protein, fiber, and fat are filling components.

    Greek yogurt or cottage cheese and berries. Veggies dippers with Greek yogurt dill dip. Low carb tortillas, luncheon meat, or lettuce can be used for wraps. Peanut better and celery. It really doesn't need to be breakfast food.

    For one thing, although I also get sick eating eggs, I've found that for me, making sure the eggs were very well cooked often made a difference. The posters above have a lot of ideas for you if that doesn't work. I have fallen back on Atkins high protein bars and a spoonful of peanut or almond butter.Now I'm trying full fat plain yogurt with a little bit of the lowest carb granola I can find.

    I make an avocado and protein smoothie-
    3 cups spring mix, mixed greens
    4 Tablespoons avocado
    1 scoop unsweetened pea protein
    1tsp chia
    1 tsp flax
    4 Oz almond milk
    sometimes- 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cacao
    1 tsp Glucomannan powder (fiber)
    You can use alternatives of your choice of course

    You can always skip breakfast, but i usually go with a cup of greek yogurt and 1/2 scoop protein powder with a side of berries. Very low calorie, high protein and very filling. You can always do cheese and nuts as well. I also like doing smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers or will do caprese. One of my favorites also is a chia pudding

    Full fat Greek yogurt add berries/chia seeds/nuts to your preference.
    Veggies and cheese cubes.
    Smoothie with protein powder, tbsp or two of heavy cream, spinach, berries and water. I ran out of frozen berries and bananas one day but really wanted a thick, milkshake like smoothie. Looking through my freezer I found an abundance of frozen cauliflower. I gave it a shot and it added the thickness with few carbs and the berries I did have on hand hid the flavour of the cauliflower well.
    Precooked sausage or patty of meat with melted cheese on top.

    I love eggs. When I am eating keto/low carb I have no problem incorporating them. Is it just fried/scrambled egg options that don’t agree with you? I often have a dozen boiled eggs in my fridge. So easy to grab on on the run.

    My goto is low carb granola and maybe a cup of almond milk. There are several low carb/keto options out there.. Check out Amazon. The one I'm trying now is Livlo granolo.. 0 net carbs.

    Also have PCOS, although I am post menopause now. Got off sugar completely about 5 weeks ago and I feel like a new person. I am finding my hunger levels are much less radical now, but for breakfast I go for a 1/4 cup almonds with tea, or a Turkish breakfast (tomato, cuke, olives and feta.) Even just a 50 calorie homemade "fat bomb" can get me thru to lunch now. Good luck and I think low carb will really help with the PCOS.
