If you are trying to cut carbs you should cut them from later in the day and eat them in the morning, the 20g of carbs at breakfast is good fuel for the day ahead rather than 20g at dinner when you will be sleeping in a few hours. I know this is hard to stop too.

I eat eggs first thing in the morning ( I egg and I egg white even just fired can be enough to keep you going) and then about 2 hours later have my porridge I found this really helped me cut back on the carbs. When I was eating porridge first thing I was still eating carbs 2 hours later now I have less starchy carbs overall though I can still have them at lunchtime.

Hi (first post here)

I have the following for breakfast. Keeps me full and the whole-wheat bread is low G.I. so it helps reduce hunger pangs before lunch time.

Italian Chopped Tomatoes, 1/2 tin 47
Lighter butter - Lightly Salted Ll, 10 g - 1 serving 54
Eggs - poached, 1 egg 70
Warburtons - Wholemeal Bread 400g Loaf, 2 slice 116

Total Calories 287.


I have butter on one slice of the bread (the one that has the egg on). I could live without butter but I love the stuff so I just limit it in my diet. (everything in moderation and all that)

It takes about 5-10mins to make, start with the tinned tomatoes, then once they have lost some of their water content and reduced I put the toast in and poach the egg. Egg is ready when the toaster pops! Crack of black pepper and its good to go!

My new favourite breakfast (and it travels well) is eggs and a 100 calories Dempsters multi-grain bagel.

I use only egg whites with some spices, a tiny bit of cheese, and some green pepper, onion and mushroom. Cut all veggies into small pieces and cook in a non stick pan.... push them all into the middle so the veggies are together, pour egg whites on top. Cook until the bottom sets, than flip and add cheese. I make a few of these now and pop them in the fridge and take one, put it on the 100 cal multi grain bagel and put a tiny bit of mayo on it and I'm good to go for very few calories.

When I'm working a morning shift I just bring these along to work with me and eat at my desk before I start work. So easy for travel, yummy and healthy!
