Hi all... I am new to this portion of the forum... I just started Atkins today and I just can't find any Breakfast food that is easy and I can grab on the go...even if I have to make it the night before.

I can not eat eggs or anything fatty in the morning or I will be sick for the rest of the day. I usually have cottage cheese as a snack throughout the day, same as string cheese. I just don't know what else I would be able to eat for breakfast...

Thanks for the help!!!

hi golfergirl,

I can't eat anything when I first get up.. especially fatty stuff..

I take my breakfast to work, and eat it at coffeebreak... I take cottage cheese, with cinnamon in it ... then I have lunch, a snack in afternoon, and supper... seems to work.

Only other suggestion I can make is cheese.. maybe have the eggs boiled for snack so you can have the cheese for a breakfast?

Thank You...I will probably follow something like you because I have to eat something small in the morning, but not anything big. maybe I will keep on with my string cheese. I will have to try the cottage cheese with cinnamon...I usually do it with salt & pepper.

Thanks!!

Golfergirl.. just watch the cinnamon.. it has carbs.. 1 per tsp I think.. I'd have to check..

Looks like we're heading to the same goal! Good luck *S

if the fat in the eggs bothers you, here's an idea. since the fat is ALL in the yolk, and the protein in the egg white, how about hard boiling a couple of eggs, and making deviled eggs with only half the yolk? you can add some salsa to make up the volume...

Or, i know some people who don't eat the yolk at all, and they make a kind of egg salad with just the whites, and some mustard or salsa and mayo.

low fat sausage patties might work as well.

just a couple of thoughts. and i'm sure there will be others! there are lots of smart, creative people around here..

You can also just scramble the whites of the eggs and make them very quickly and easy in the microwave. You just put the whites in a bowl, put them in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, and put them back in for 15 seconds. Perfect and no fat.

I also like the Hormel Pre-Cooked bacon. The pieces are small, and they don't have much fat on them. They also heat up quickly and easily in the microwave.

I have been making a "mock danish" on mornings when I am rushed (it does include an egg tho, but mixed with other stuff). It only takes a couples of minutes in the microwave, and very yummy!

You might have a look at : http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=96 for some more breakfast ideas.

There are also some good breakfast recipes at: http://www.lowcarb.ca/recipes/breakfast.html

Good luck!
