Tofu scramble
Soup Turkey wraps Pretty much anything that's low carb for other meals? Don't get so hung up on what's breakfast/ lunch / dinner. It will help you loads. My favourite breakfast is a big mug of soup. |

How low carb are you trying to go?
If you're on something like Atkins Induction (less than 20g a day), your best bet really is eggs with cheese and/or meat. There are so many ways to vary it up -- one of my favorites, especially when you're in a hurry each morning, is to make a bunch of egg muffins at the beginning of the week. Simply crack 12 eggs into a bowl, mix up, add a dash of heavy cream and some seasonings, pour into muffin tins, add some diced lean fully-baked chicken sausage, a tablespoon of cheese in each cup, and whatever veggies you'd like (mushrooms are good), then bake for ~15 minutes at 350 degrees. Have two each morning -- they're great once microwaved. If you're not quite as intent on sticking to the <20g rule, then a whole world of muffins opens to you, made with almond flour, ground flaxseed, coconut flour, or any combination thereof. There are tons of recipes for low-carb "Minute muffins" and also a hundred excellent recipes for making nut-flour muffins in bulk if you google, or search on lowcarbfriends or lowcarber.org. reddit.com/r/ketorecipes is also useful. My absolute favorite LC breakfast is very simple: two poached eggs over half an avocado, sliced. Very filling! |

+1. I don't like breakfast foods so usually just eat leftovers for breakfast. When low-carbing, I usually keep some grilled chicken, cheese and uncured salami around for snacking. |

Porridge usually means oats. They're nutritious (if steel-cut, especially) but they're hardly low carb. (Nor are fruit, for that matter! Berries are low-ISH carb, but hardly low carb, since they're predominantly fructose, ie sugar...) |

| Thanks, everyone. I don't mind eggs and ham and, thankfully don't have a cholesterol problem, but it starts to feel so heavy when everyday. I'll try your suggestions and especially those muffins. I'm shooting for 40-50 g/day and staying within a calorie ceiling. |

Today I ate a roasted chicken drumstick from the fridge (cooked yesterday), two slices of avocado, and mushrooms and spinach sautéed with garlic.
Yesterday I had homemade vegetable soup with pork. I'm doing a whole 30 and tired of eggs quickly, so I feel your pain op! |

I often have salads for breakfast. I don't actually like them much, but struggle with getting my veggies in so "need" them. Since i'm not super hungry in the morning, it feels easier to get through the salad and eat something I enjoy more later in the day when I'll apprecaite it more.
This morning was spinach with leftoever ground turkey taco filling, peppers, onions and broccoli |

| It's bizarre that people think things like fruit are low carb! Is it just that they think carbs = bread and pasta or what? |
