I don't miss bread anymore so never look for the substitutes.

Today we had

Sausages with cheese for brekkie

An extend bar at lunch

Then salmon and cauliflower cheese with onion and spring onion and garlic' a combination I realise :rotfl:

Snack will be some berries and cream with flaxseed

hello there - Im new to this (trainer at the gym recommended I try low carb, so here goes) - and am struggling to find things to have for breakfast. Can anyone suggest anything? I don't eat red meat, and will be at work, so nothing too messy or needs heating!

Hope all you experts can help me do this! Thanks x

Can anyone suggest a savoury lowcarb breakfast to take into work? I'm thinking crustless quiche frozen in slices, maybe with smoked salmon, but am open to other ideas. At the moment I'm having Greek salad for breakfast but am having to psych myself up for it.

Hi

I have been mixing berries with soft cheese for breakfast for a change, sometimes on an almond pancake

50g of soft cheese mixed with 50g raspberries is 4.5 net carbs

If in a hurry, a piece of cheese or egg mayonnaise with some cucumber is nice. I also don't mind cold scrambled egg with a little smoked salmon.

As a side I have been feeling really rough going very low this time round and so have had to up my carb level a bit. I seem to be maintaining my weight but not losing.

I also find breakfast the hardest meal to be
1) quick
2) not just eggs

I have in my repertoire currently:
- sausages (cooked night before)
- eggs (poached, scrambled, omelette with any of cheese/ham/spinach/onions/mushrooms)
- tinned tomatoes (plum or chopped)
- cheese
- ham
- smoked salmon
- a slab of 'low carb mexican fudge' (google it!)
- any combination of the above !

any other suggestions would be gratefully received.
thanks
Nick

I often have cooked meats and cottage cheese.
Sounds odd but the cottage cheese does give something of the 'wet' to a chicken breast
Also do like ham and boiled egg

A massive solid omlet cooked the night before and cut into pizza slices - that's nice too.

There are many options - I do encourage you to check out the recipe list, link on page1 of this thread. Lots of ideas - tried and tested, by low carbers over the last few years.

May I draw your attention to Mexican fudge, spamish quiche, salmon bites and Flaxbread?

Have a good mooch, find what you may like then experiment

Much love
