I am gagging while eating my eggs in the am... I need some other way to start my day

[bamamomof5]

Food period is making me sick in the am, but I go do a 2 hr workout after kids are at school... I know I have to eat and get in good protien in the am. I used to drink low carb shakes just for the protein but I am new to atkins and know they are a no-no... so what else does everyone eat in the am BESIDES eggs??? (tuna would make me lose it so PLEASE don't say tuna... )

Breakfast can be whatever 'legal' food you want it to be. So, if you don't like eggs, don't eat them.

I frequently have leftovers for breakfast: cold grilled chicken, leftover pork chops, leftover stir-fry, cold grilled shrimp (when I have leftovers of those), etc.

Also, you can try eating eggs in a different manner than boiled, fried or scrambled. you can follow a basic cooked eggnog recipe and keep that in the refrigerator. If you go to the 14 Day Induction Forum, look for the sticky thread called "Induction Recipe Basics". There is a recipe for Atkins Revolution Rolls, which can be used as a bread substitute and or you can eat them like pancakes.

Recently I've been eating banana flax muffins toasted and with butter butter butter; the recipe is in the forum somewhere, but there is so much flax in it you need to be on the nut rung.

I also hate eggs, but I've started making pizza omlettes (parmesan and mozarella cheese, pepperoni, and tomato sauce). The pepperoni is the key to spicing it up, and they don't even taste like eggs to me.

Good recipe killer
i also am not a huge fan of eggs...but i can now swallow omlete with loads of sping onions..recently i have switched my breakfast with smoked chicken breast slices..and i fry them again..though they are ready to eat but i want to up my fats level..
u arent allowed shakes during induction..and after having a shake at breakfast u will be hungry sooner rather than later..and if u are at work u may indulge yourself in restricted foods..
i would also suggest u to sign up for the bootcamp it really helps to know what is allowed and what is not

When I get tired of eggs then I eat just bacon or just sausage or some slices of ham. Salami and cream cheese rollups are good too! A couple of weeks of that and I go back to eggs. Leftover dinner is good too as is a pizza casserole (favorite pizza toppings with cheese baked in a casserole dish w/light layer of tomato sauce.

I also found I can't eat eggs for breakfast, at least not for several hours after I wake up. But - with Atkins - I don't usually wake up hungry. And - also, only on Atkins - eating in the morning when I'm not hungry makes me nauseous, all day.

Of course, not eating before work creates a hunger problem mid-morning.

My solution has been to eat one piece of cheese in the morning for breakfast, or maybe a little bit of lean (but sauteed) plain chicken breast. Maybe a little bit of veggie.

Stomach doesn't handle the fats as well in the morning. Later in the day - great! pour it on!! Broken-omelette for lunch - yeah! But not in the am.
