  • Im on a NO CARB diet and hate cooking, each morning I stop at the supermarket and pick up the prechopped pack of fruit and then smother a fat free yoghurt over it.. really filling and less then 200kcls - FAT AND CARB FREE..

    I crack two eggs into a microwave safe dish----add salt & pepper (don't mix the white and yellow) and microwave for 2 minutes....It's actually really good and only 140 cal

    Hardboiled eggs. I boil them while I'm in the shower. Or I Boil a bunch on Sunday and stick them in the fridge to grab on the go in the mornings.

    fruit and yogurt both have carbs from sugar. Boil eggs a dozen at a time and keep them in your refrigerator so you can grab a couple and go :)

    I drink a nutrition shake every day. Today, I made chocolate French toast. Sound totally sinful, but it's extremely healthy. Takes 2 min to prepare.
  • I like to make omletes but I have the microwave omlete pan (so no cooking). 2 eggs, 2 tbsp of sals, canadian bacon, and shredded cheese. You can also do this in the ramkin (sp?) bowls. Fast, easy, and very yummy! Also Smart ones by WW offers premade breakfast selections that you just have to heat up, you may want to look into those.

    Plain Greek yogurt has 23 g of protein and only 9 carbs/cup! It is good with fruit/honey mixed in, but for low carb it is also good plain, with maybe some cinnamon mixed in.


    Scrambled (or fried, all you need it a bit of cooking spray) eggs only take a few minutes to prepare and are delicious.

    Bacon is good too! :flowerforyou:
  • LOVE this idea! Okay all of these ideas LOL! Sounds like I need a microwave dish.

    Blend together a whole banana, fresh blueberries, spinach leaves, a cup of cold water, and a handful of ice. It gives a load of essential nutrients and jump starts your metabolism for the day...

    Hi,
    an easy thing is hard boiled eggs, i have 2, with 2 or 3 turkey sausage links (ready cooked- just thaw in microwave) and a handful of raw almonds. then have a snack later in am, like berries and raw seeds and nuts).
    also, when i get tired of eggs, i usually switch to chicken or meats leftover from diner, and grab for breakfast. i love that!! :-)
    (when i put away leftovers, i portion them out ahead of time for snacks and meals)
    also---crock-pot oatmeal is great-make it up night before.

    bye,
    thanks!

    egg beaters and a laughing cow wedge. combine both i a mug and microwave. It's the easiest thing I make for breakfast and it's low calorie.
  • I'm not giving a sales pitch here, but I drink ViSalus shakes for breakfast and lunch. They're super healthy and filling (and I like to eat a LOT, lol). They are low-carb and only 1 gram of sugar. Before adding your milk , it's only 90 calories (I use unsweetened almond milk and it's great - only 2g of carbs I think and 40 calories). I just throw it in a GE Rocket blender (http://www.walmart.com/ip/GE-Single-Serve-Blender-Silver/15231389) with my Visalus stuff and I have an awesomely healthy breakfast within 2 minutes. If you want to know more about ViSalus, you can go to http://ashleyrivers.bodybyvi.com . The GE Rocket Blender and ViSalus have been GOD-SENDS for me!!!

    I do frozen fruit (either summer fruits, morello cherries, blackberries or raspberries) and fat free yoghurt. Just remember to defrost your portion of fruit in the fridge over night. 250ish grams of fruit to 250g grams of yoghurt. Tasty, filling and 140 calories a portion.

    Where did you find the no carb fruit and yogurt?
  • How long do you cook 2 eggs in the microwave? I really like the eggs in a mug idea, totally going to try this tomorrow. I like fruit and yogurt also, but I eat that at work alot because its easy to throw in a lunch sack. I also eat a lot of peanut butter and honey sandwiches...but its not really a low carb option and I really want to cut way back on those.

    Foods have carbs even if they aren't bread or pasta. You have to do your research and make informed choices. I personally dont understand the carb fear. Protein is awesome, but we need carbs for energy. But in the morning I work best best a whole wheat toast and peanut butter and a boiled egg. That is my typical quick easy nutritious breakfast!
  • When I'm working I cook 1-2 weeks worth at a time and freeze. I made egg mc muffins basically (bagels and biscuits work too).
  • Protein shakes make an excellent quick no cook breakfast. Try 1 cup of skim milk, 1 scoop of whey protein isolate, a tablespoon of all natural sugar free peanut butter, tablespoon of ground flax seeds, and if you like some fruit (I usually use 1 banana, or 100g of blackberries). I sometimes add 15g of quaker quick oats as well.

    Blend it all up with ice and enjoy. Less than 3 minutes to prepare.
  • I like Bare and Simple instant oatmeal (plain) with 20g cherry craisins. I make it and eat it on my way to work.

    Good Luck!
