Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Avoided dairy yesterday and had a 4 oz serving of yogurt today. Not sure if that's enough time to let things reset, but so far so good.
And Liana, I am totally on board with non traditional breakfasts. I love me a good tuna melt any time of the day. Have been fiddling around to see if I can make myself a hawaiian breakfast pizza and stay within the carbs.
Good....I can't believe the difference in how my belly handles 4oz of yogurt vs. 6 oz! Crazy!!! I am learning what seems to bother my stomach. Wheat bothers my stomach for my dinner meal, but doesn't seem to bother me at breakfast. Not sure why that is? I do find that part interesting. My stomach was a HOT MESS before I started IP....but of course I was eating just plain junk.....so of COURSE it was a mess!
Confession time: I did fine yesterday and closed off my food diary only to go a little off the rails (again) last night as DH & I watched a favorite suspense movie. Even though I know how it goes, I ended up eating a big helping of cheddar (light, but still) along with 1.5 servings of genoa salami. OK, no carbs there, but over calories and not needing a snack at night! Grrrr! Up due to extra saltiness but seriously still up this morning. I need to get 6 lbs off toute suite (as they say in Quebec). At my scream weight, so... serious P1 day for me (with a bit of extra veg).

I'm so excited to be joining you ladies soon! I start P3 next Wednesday, but was given my P3 sheet today to give me a week to figure things out before the real deal is here.
What tips would you give me for figuring out how to put together my breakfasts? Evemomma, do you still use those notecards you made for breakfast combinations? Is MFP a must have? I've been on IP for 5 months and prior to that I ate frozen breakfast sandwiches (prior prior to that it was just a bowl of cereal) so I feel like I don't have any idea on how to put together a healthy, filling, and satisfying breakfast. I've been enjoying reading your comments and look forward to joining in!
Alright... 3.4 lbs off since yesterday... Maybe I shouldn't panic so much. Still gonna do a P1 day today as I want to desperately get back to my 132. It will probably help that I worked last night and didn't get up til 10:30 (although I wish I could have slept til noon today ), won't be much time for breakfast... maybe I will just make it P1 lunch with veggies.

Welcome, takers! P3 breakfasts were a challenge for me as well, since before this diet I was eating a bar for breakfast, and on the diet I replaced it with a protein bar, so I had to switch that up.
I landed on 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Muesli, 1/2c almond milk, Raspberries, Blackberries, and a Prosciutto Egg Cup. (When I moved into maintenance and needed more calories I upped it to 1/2 cup of the Muesli).
The egg cups are super easy to make and freeze really well - I just put them into individual containers and take one out each night for the next morning. I pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds while I'm putting the Muesli together. Yum! There are recipes all over for them, I make mine in a muffin tin lined with prosciutto, then I mix up 6 eggs with chopped onion and fresh cut dill, put some veggie cheese in the bottom of each cup, then spoon the egg mixture in, top with a little cracked pepper. For some reason mine always explode in the oven - but the ones on pinterest are always neat and tidy

Yay Liana! and thanks for the dust...I'll take some.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a low-carb gluten free sandwich wrap? Having difficulty finding such a product... starting to think it's like some kind of magic unicorn
LunchTried something new for lunch today, a really simple homemade chicken bacon avocado salad - had it on a bed of lettuce, yum! I think it's my new go-to lunch for awhile.

Thank you so much for the thread link! I didn't know it existed (although I should have). Off for more reading!
darthkitten: the only gluten free sandwich wrap I can think of is butter, leaf, or romaine lettuce leaves, lol. I like to do open faced sandwiches with regular GF toast, but I've never found a wrap that actually wraps without ripping and falling apart.
