Breakfast nd carbs - :(

flax/almond meal muffins/buns

I have a bowl of yoghurt with just a sprinkling of muesli to give it a bit of a crunch! Why dont you just have one slice of bread with your egg, add some tomatoes and mushrooms etc to bulk it up a bit

I don't even bother with the toast; just make a couple eggs (poached, scrambled, fried) and have bacon or smoked salmon or sausage, and often have a piece of fruit like melon, berries or grapefruit. The fruit is the highest carb thing, but it's the overall daily total that counts anyway.

yum

Bacon and eggs

also this

What about a low carb wrap? La Tortilla makes a bunch of different kinds.

Hi there, Just totaled up my breakfast and OMG the 2 pieces of 6 grain bread result - 30 carbs!
Well there goes my egg on toast idea!

Does anyone else have a suggestion for breakfasts that is FAST and low carb but FULLING!? I'm very busy
with work so dont have much time to prepare meals.

It is so hard to cover those criteria's but I'm honestly loosing nothing and I've come the conclusion its because
i'm eating far to much carbs.

"far too many"

that said.....Do you have diabetes? PCOS?

Swap for an english muffin or those arnold sandwich thins. Both of those will help cut back on carbs.

If you still want bread, gluten free has less calories and carbs. 160 cals, and 20g of carbs in 2 slices! scrambled egg whites, spinach and mushrooms OR smoothies .. unsweetended almond milk, half a banana, 1/2 (or under) or frozen berries, flax oil (only if you want) and coconut extract. Delicious! Banana maple gluten free instant oatmeal is also very filling, tastes the same as normal oatmeal but less cals! :bigsmile:

low carb/high fiber tortillas--FiberOne makes one, and Ole Mission makes one...

Every morning I eat 2 eggs, 4 slices of soy bacon, a low carb/high fiber tortilla--about 350 calories, 20 carbs, 9 fiber ( so 11 net carbs). It fills me up and gets me through a 500 calorie workout. Many times I am not hungry for lunch, but I make myself eat a salad anyway.

A friend just turned me on to Carb Krunchers, http://www.carbkrunchers.com/ - they make rolls, bagels & bread low carb. I've only had their everything bagel but at 6.2 net carbs I'm sold. And they're actually good too. They come frozen so you pop in the microwave for 20 seconds, slice and toast it.

I've found that I am taking in too many carbs too, but I can't totally do without them, so these are a great alternative.

Thats too funny!!! I like that idea. !

But Eggs are the super food of low carb eating.! and I too have difficulty not having toast with my eggs.
I have decided to do 1/2 grapefruit for breakast and greek yogurt.. Its much better then the two pieces of toast I have gotten into the bad habit of having every morning..

Whats an Elimination diet??

Elimination diet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An elimination diet is a method of identifying foods that an individual cannot consume without adverse effects.[1] Adverse effects may be due to food allergy, food intolerance, other physiological mechanisms (such as metabolic or toxins),[2] or a combination of these. Elimination diets typically involve entirely removing a suspected food from the diet for a period of time from two weeks to two months, and waiting to determine whether symptoms resolve during that time period. In rare cases, a health professional may wish to use an oligoantigenic diet to relieve a patient of symptoms they are experiencing.[3]
Common reasons for undertaking an elimination diet include suspected food allergies and suspected food intolerances. An elimination diet might remove one or more common foods, such as eggs or milk, or it might remove one or more minor or non-nutritive substances, such as artificial food colorings.
An elimination diet relies on trial and error to identify specific allergies and intolerances. Typically, if symptoms resolve after the removal of a food from the diet, then the food is reintroduced to see whether the symptoms reappear. This challenge-dechallenge-rechallenge approach is particularly useful in cases with intermittent or vague symptoms.[4]
The terms exclusion diet and elimination diet are often used interchangeably in the literature, and there is no standardised terminology. The exclusion diet can be a diagnostic tool or method used temporarily to determine whether a patient’s symptoms are food-related. The term elimination diet is also used to describe a "treatment diet", which eliminates certain foods for a patient.[2] [5][6]
Adverse reactions to food can be due to several mechanisms. Correct identification of the type of reaction in an individual is important, as different approaches to management may be required.
