Re: Need breakfast suggestions

[Guest guest]

Okay group, I've finally admitted that I must give up my morning cold

cereal...can someone give me some low-carb breakfast suggestions? I can do

eggs but I don't like 'em enough to do them every day...can't see tuna salad

or turkey slices for breakfast...also don't care to do cooking that early in

the morning. I can do my low-carb toast...but even that gets boring after a

while. I need something new. Help!? Vicki

[Guest guest]

I am not on any low carb diet, but I do know almost everything about food due

to my former anorexia and obsession with food. I eat oaymeal every morning.

I eat whole grain carbs, not simple starches, and find them filling and gives

me loads of energy. Beans are also wonderful (not for breakfast!!!), but my

stomach can not tolerate them. Depriving yourself of necessary carbs leads

to trouble, trust me. It is wise to balance your carbs with protein and

unsaturated fats. I personally do not eat protein for breakfast, but the

complex grains are wonderful if you don't eat a lot of protein.

Hope this helps,

I have bacon and eggs and some cream cheese stuffed in celery and or some

stuffed pimento olives for breakfast most mornings. Or bacon/sausage with

scrambled eggs...in the eggs I add some cream cheese and deli cheese. Or a

slice of lunch meat, mayo on it, piece of lettuce and roll up a string cheese

in the middle of it. That is when I am in a hurry.

I'm not depriving myself of carbs...just try to keep 'em under 100 a day.

And cereal takes too big a bite out of that. I'd rather spend my carbs at

another meal.

thanks for suggestion, ...I don't have to worry about fat. I'm actually

worrying about losing too much weight. I'm 5'8 " and now am down to 118 (still

feeling fine tho). I do eat sausage but it seems to want to go with eggs and

as I said, I don't like to have more than a few eggs a week.

thanks all for suggestions. Some good ideas there. V.

I guess it depends on your tastes, but my doctor told me that one of the

best things I can do is eat leftovers from dinner the previous night. I try

to cook enough to have leftovers since I've never been really big on

breakfast foods.

I also have a recipe for a french toast that has eggs and cottage cheese and

less bread than usual since it is baked in the oven. I'll try to find it...

I haven't made it in a while.

I enjoy tortillas (your choice of types-I use high fiber ones) with just

about anything wrapped in them or eaten over them. Left over stir fries

become quick " nuked " breakfast wraps or scrambled egg/egg whites with vegies

and a bit of cheese can be topped with salsa and eaten over the tortillas.

I've also used hummus and chile as fillings. Breakfast and lunch are my

larger meals because I'm pretty sedentary after dinner.

I know that some people think eggs should be yellow. I buy " Just Whites "

and love them. I was always the one trying to swap yolks for whites when we

had hard boiled eggs. When I make regular eggs at home (except for deviled)

I just throw the yolks away.

Breakfast is a problem for many of us, because low-carb items tend to be

" heavier. " I deal with it mainly by skipping breakfast. The other thing is

to mix things up. One day a week, we go out to the buffet around 10-11 a.m.,

and dine grandly on eggs and meat and canteloupe. The rest of the week, I

usually wait until mid-morning or lunchtime and eat a salad or open-faced

meat sandwich or something else. Rob packs various snackies and just grazes

at his desk during the day. He takes rye or pumpernickel and meat and olives

and low-fat cheese and dill pickles and I make him hard-boiled eggs and

chicken salad and tuna salad, soups, stews, etc. " Breakfast " for Rob at work

is often a can of V8 juice, zinged up with this stuff we both love called

" Twang. " http://www.twang.com There are many flavors; we use the chili,

lemon-lime, and the dill pickle (as well as their famous margarita salt). We

also both really like Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt on just about everything,

and Creole seasoning.

I think this calls for a correction. Of the three food groups, fats, protein

and carbohydrates, carbs are the one food group that actually isn't

essential. On the other hand, protein is vital, and must be supplied

steadily, because our bodies cannot store it for future use, and fats are

essential for digestion.

Hey, Vicki, I had to give up cereal too - quite a while ago actually. Now I

spray Pam in a bowl, scramble an egg in it, add grated sharp cheddar cheese,

sounds good, Barb. I'll try it. Thanks V.

" Egg Beaters " are made by Beatrice Foods. I don't know what's in them. But

here is a recipe for homemade Egg Beaters I found on the web. This recipe

contains, along with egg whites, canola oil, dry milk powder, yellow food

coloring, and skim milk ...

http://lilybbc.homepage.com/recipe/homemade_egg_beaters.html

Only one-fifth of our cholesterol comes from the foods we eat. The rest is

produced inside our bodies. What seems to improve our cholesterol numbers

significantly is getting our diabetes in control. I think I read a study

saying that two whole eggs a week are safe. But Rob and I don't worry about

egg intake. I buy them 2-1/2 dozen at a time. They go on sandwiches, into

salads, and Rob relishes eating hard-boiled eggs at his desk, with

seasonings.
