Breakfast ideas

[pounds_will_drop]

This is day one for me. I am trying to find something other than eggs for breakfast, not one of my favourite foods. I have been looking for a breakfast sausage that has not carbs and have not found one. I was just wondering if anyone has found one out there?

Thanks

Re: Breakfast ideas

Its rare to find any!

Think outside of the box, i usually have leftovers from dinner! or i'll make a crustless quiche. one of those will do me for breakfasts for the whole week!

Re: Breakfast ideas

I found these great turkey sausages called "Tail Gate Sausages" They have one carb per sausage which isn't bad from the reading I've been doing. Also make sure there is 0% for sugars.

Speaking of quiche, can someone forward me an awesome recipe for this???

Thanks

Re: Breakfast ideas

How about fresh ground pork? Make up patties in advance and freeze them.

Re: Breakfast ideas

Kristen this is Elizellens recipe

Ingredients
4 ounces grated cheese
4 medium eggs
4 fluid ounces (1/2 cup) double cream (heavy cream in USA)
chopped cooked veggies to taste (2-4 ounces depending on what is in the fridge)
chopped cooked bacon or other meat (2-4 ounces depending on how 'meaty' I want it)
1 tablespoon chives or chopped spring onions/green onions
spices if you like - about one teaspoon or more
Method
Set oven to 150 C/300 F
Spread 3 ounces of the grated cheese over the bottom of an oiled/greased ovenproof dish (or divide between muffin tin holes)
sprinkle chives/onions over cheese as well as any spices you want
sprinkle chopped veggies and/or meat over
Mix eggs and cream together and add the last ounce of grated cheese and mix together.
Pour liquid over and around the meat/veggie/cheese
Bake for about 30-40 minutes till browned and firm to the touch (less for muffins)

Not sure if you are a fan of tuna at breakfast, but I sometimes go for tuna salad for a change. I thought at first it would be too much for breakfast, but it is really not. Give it a try I would say.

Not sure why but I really like egg salad for breakfast.

Re: Breakfast ideas

Since I'm reading this I'll say thanks for the ideas too! I made that quiche recipe OMG its sooo good! I made 6 muffin tins worth out of that recipe. I used bacon, marble cheese, green onion and brocolli. Can someone help calculate carbs for me? I used one cup brocolli for whole recipe, 1 green onion, and probably about one cup of cheese. Thanks.

Re: Breakfast ideas

I found sausage at the store that I read over and it has no sugar Bob Evans Original. IF anyone thinks this is not a good one, I would like to know. It is what I have been eating for breakfast.

Hey,

Have you tried the No Bread French Toast Yet?

It's made with eggs but it tastes like sweet(very soft and fluffy) french toast


Mix 3 eggs and 2 oz of cream cheese in a bowl until it turns almost to foam

(I add a little vanilla extract)

I sprinkle Cinnamon and Nutmeg in the mixture and one packet of Splenda

Butter up the frying pan and pour in mixture

fry each side until golden brown and enjoy

pour a little low carb syrup on it if you like (I don't)

I eat these with Bacon and One Flaxseed Muffin.

this is about 6 carbs without the syrup
the Flaxseed Muffin is about 2 carbs

If you want i'll give the recipe for Flaxseed Muffins they taste like bread but only 2 carbs per serving.

Good Luck!

Re: Breakfast ideas

Another awesome site is CalorieKing.com - its loaded with all the info as well

When I did Atkins the first time, I sort of killed my love of eggs after awhile and switched to "Dinner for Breakfast".. I would make "bowls" of stuff.. Fake taco bowl, fake fajita bowl, etc

Re: Breakfast ideas

What is a fake taco bowl? Sounds like it would be good.
