I need low carb breakfast ideas! Help!

I make my scrambled eggs and turkey bacon the night before. I was skeptical about this but it really doesn't taste bad reheated!

You can always boil eggs in advance. They are easy to grab and go.

Also, there is no cardinal rule that says you MUST eat "breakfast" food for breakfast, or "dinner" food for dinner. You can make one of your favorite low carb dishes the night before, pop it in the microwave in the morning, and be on your way. And if you want eggs, you can have them for dinner

greek yogurt and frozen berries, or cottage cheese. both huge protien and lower carb.

i actually microwave egg beaters... fast easy clean up and tastes good.

Hey there. I'm on a low carb diet- actually it's the Paleo doet. I aim at under 100 grams of carbs per day. I eat the same thing for breakfast every day- hot quinoa "cereal." It's super easy, and does require cooking, but I make a big batch once a week and heat it up in the am.
Bring 2 cups of water to the boil.
Add 1 cup quinoa. Cook until done. Add 1/2 cup ground flax seed and 1 can of cocnut milk, bring back to the boil, take off the heat and cover (sometime I also need to add another 1/2 cup of water or so). Stir in one tablespoon of cinnamon. You can eat it with more cocnut milk poured overtop, berries, or nuts or just plain. When you heat it up, add a bit more water and heat for 2 mins or so. It will be creamy like oatmeal.


This makes 4 portions at about 1 cup each. Its 190 cals/ 31 carbs/ 7 grams protein/ 5 g fat. This is the biggest portion of carbs I eat all day. You can add me and check out my diary if you like.

Cottage cheese (regular, not with flavored)
Cheese slices (or cheese sticks)
Hard boiled eggs (I normally cook up a half dozen at a time and put them in the fridge for the week so I can grab them and go)
Peanut butter,
Plain greek yogurt (not the flavored kind) - I add a packet of splenda to it - and blueberries
nuts
low carb protein shake - make it with vanilla almond milk or water - and add some blueberries, etc.

I make Jillian Michael's Breakfast in a Bowl (with my own modification). I've copied it from my recipes for you:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, add 1/2 tsp allspice. Let sit overnight to soften oats. It makes 4 1Cup servings. Sometimes I add fruit (berries) to the top. The original recipe calls for 2 cups plain yogurt with 1 tsp of vanilla added later, but I enjoy the flavor better by mixing 1 C Greek plain and 1 Cup light Vanilla yogurt.

I'll do hard boiled eggs sometimes, but usually its a Shakeology with fruit and I have 4 strips of turkey bacon!

Me too (minus the turkey bacon)

(Someone put this up and I copied it, it's fantastic!)


I do this every weekend to prepare for the week, and I try different variations on it so I don't get tired of it! It's not an exact science, so it's tough to screw anything up, thankfully!

1 - Grab a big bowl and mix up a mixture of eggs and egg whites, maybe 6 or 7? Preheat oven to about 350.

2 - This week I chopped up a red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, and chopped frozen spinach (defrosted and squeezed of excess liquid)

3 - I get out my two cupcake pans, spray well with cooking spray. To make this easier, you can also use aluminum cupcake cups, but I didn't have any on hand this week and it still worked okay!

4 - Add a little bit of the chopped veggies until they're about 1/2 full. This week I also added some pieces of turkey bacon (pre-cooked in oven for a few minutes on foil) but sometimes I skip the bacon, or add some pieces of canadian bacon.

5 - Add the egg mixture until each cup is about 3/4 full, and sprinkle some low fat shredded cheese on top. If you run out of egg mixture to add, you can always whip up another egg or two.

6 - Put pans in oven at 350 for about 15 minutes, give or take a few.

There you have about 24 mini egg quiches for quick reheating! I have about 2 every morning. I generally keep half in the fridge and freeze the other half, or you can stick them all in the freezer. Either way they'll reheat just fine!

Sorry this is so vague, but I hope it helps!

What ever you choose to eat at breakfast time becomes breakfast food. Nobody said eggs had to be eaten for breakfast or that grilled chicken was only a lunch/dinner food. I like to make grilled chicken ahead of time and seperate them into sandwich bags. they re-heat well, no unpleasant odor and are very satisfying. I also like to cut cucumber and carrots into french fry slices and keep them in baggies. Great for dipping in cream cheese ! Finally, for an energy boost anytime, Blue Diamond roasted salted almonds ... I sort 28 almonds into baggies so that I have individual servings pre-set ( no chance of over indulging lol) all lo-carb options. If you are still in the induction phase, steer clear of fruits and opt for fresh vegetables instead. Try to eat as purely as possible ... stay away from anything processed ... lots of hidden carbs. Good luck !

Chobani non-fat yogurt (with or without fruit)
ham slices (low sodium)

cottage cheese with fresh fruit or tomato slices
