  • Oatmeal mixed with milk or a protein shake (or a protein shake done with milk instead of water, the best option) is what I'd always eat for breakfast when I used to eat breakfast (doing intermittent fasting now). The protein of oats actually has quite a high BV and I think the specific mix of dairy protein together give you some of the highest BVs you can get.
  • milk + salad for breakfast please
  • 0% Greek yogurt is my favorite breakfast! I like the brand Fage with the side of honey. So good!
  • I'm on the go for breakfast often, so I usually grab a special K protein bar and a piece of fruit. If I have time for a sit down, I go with a hard boiled egg. I just like them cause you can make a few at a time and eat them through the week.
  • Quote: I sometimes have one or two turkey sausages depending on thier size. They are lower in fat then the pork sausages and the only ingredients are turkey, salt and pepper. My grocery store makes them right in the store. A large one is 100 grams and I only eat one of those at a time or I have 2 of the smaller link-type sausages.

    I love making my own sausage. I recommend freezing them raw then cooking before you eat - they taste so much better that way, and they're about 72 calories each (using 90% lean turkey meat):

  • Thanks for the link. I will make those for sure and I will pass the recipe on to another lowcarber I know who is trying his best to lose weight.
  • I highly, highly recommend those sausages, but they do have maple syrup (2T) in the entire recipe (24 patties) which may be okay depending on your plan

    My plan is low-ish carb foods and calorie counting so they will fit right in even with the maple syrup. Thanks again.

    Edited to add: I will probably use only a third of the salt that is in the recipe however.
  • I agree with WastedThermos. I love, love, love the morningstar faux sausage products. They are quick and easy. I also like to have egg whites with bell pepper and mushrooms mixed in. A piece of morningstar on the side. I totally feel content with my breakfast in the mornings.
  • You don't have to have typical breakfast meals for breakfast - I usually eat a smaller portion of leftovers from the night before for breakfast! Also means I don't need to worry about cooking anything in the morning, can just reheat something
  • I add egg whites into my oatmeal sometimes before cooking, it makes it creamier and adds a little protein. You can also add protein flavored powders into your oatmeal or peanut butter is another great source of protein and healthy fats you can add in there.
    I do cottage cheese every morning as well! It's a great protein and delicious with fruit added in there! And takes very limited time to prepare! that's my demand when it comes to my breakfast foods, I have trouble waking up too earlier just to prepare a breakfast feast! ha Hope this helps! Good luck!
  • Top 3 for Breakfast: (For me)
    -Oatmeal for breakfast with agave, Fresh ground flax seed and fresh fruit (blueberries, mango or strawberries) on top. (I sometimes add nuts to the grinder with the flax).
    -1 scrabbled egg with 2 mushrooms chopped, 1/2 red bell pepper, few slices of sweet onion topped with 1 teaspoon or so of salsa and 1 piece of toast/bagel thin/flat out 100 cal wrap.
    -1/2 cup fresh fruit chopped topped with one serving cottage cheese top with one tablespoon on granola top with swirl of strawberry agave and 2 strips of turkey bacon. Yummy!!
