Same stuff I eat for lunch and dinner. Usually leftovers from dinner.
This morning I had a salad with sliced grilled chicken breast in it.

I like smoked salmon with cream cheese for breakfast sometimes

I had a cousin whose favorite breakfast was frozen peas.
Right out of the bag. From the freezer.

Breakfast is about whatever gets your engine started in the
morning.

My own favorite these days is a can of Coca Cola Lite and a
couple of jalapeno peppers.

I hardly ever have eggs for breakfast, although I used to make crustless
quiches that were nice for breakfast. What I do have most mornings is
yogurt w/ a scoop of protein powder. If I'm running late, I'll grab a
protein bar - the strive bars aren't too bad tasting and at 200 calories,
that leaves me some room for a snack later in the day if I want.

In the summer, sliced up strawberries or a peach w/ a couple of
tablespoons of mascarpone is pretty heavenly, but I find there's a
tendency towards portion creep there.

Some days I've had cinnamon flavored pork rinds, or an apple w/ peanut
butter.

I'm more or less on maintenance and I don't find that I have to keep my
carbs extremely low, so someone who has to stick to 20 grams a day might
not have the same options.

Really though, you can have anything that fits in your plan for breakfast;
it doesn't have to be "breakfast food".

I've been eating my Dinner for breakfast. My lunch for dinner and my
breakfast for lunch. Kind of rotating.

My 5 year old wanted Ice Cream for breakfast one Sunday morning

recently,

Quoted message said:

and I told her, "People don't eat Ice Cream for breakfast. You must

eat

Quoted message said:

healthy breakfast stuff." She agreed, and eating her cereal, asked

"Daddy?

Quoted message said:

Who are they?"

So, soup for breakfast should be OK. And Eggs for lunch just as

good. And

Quoted message said:

so on and so on.

Yes! Well, a new old one. My brother-in-law, who is a Mac doctor, gave
it to me. Flat out just gave it to me to keep forever. I *had* just
agreed to babysit their kids for free every other Sunday night, so I
guess it kinda works out even.

At the risk of being told the following is not low-carb...here is what I
do for breakfast:

I purchased reduced carb versions of Special K, All Bran(7 grams per
serving) and there are 2 varieties of Post lower carb cereals....I mix
them together but any one is fine(All Bran is loaded with fiber). Then,
I slice a couple of strawberries or melon, whichever is reasonably
available and add low carb milk(hood) or, lately Lactaid. This is not
for those in the initial sage(s) of Atkins, but later. I figure the bowl
of cereal as above is less than 20--maybe up to 25 or even 30(Hood
'milk' keeps it under 20). I eat this most every morning and find it
works well(esp with the added fiber!). The different varieties of cereal
help, but, however, they all have some kind of artifical sweetener.

This type of breakfast certainly beats eggs every day...IMHO. As I
mentioned, besides not being a true low carb, it tastes great. If you
can afford the 20 grams go for it. With regular milk the number goes up.
Sometimes I will skip the berries and eat a small apple(perish the
thought!) after the cereal.

It is definitely a lower of carbs than the regular cereal. Heck, even if
you only deal with 5 or 10 more carbs during the day you still may
make your number. The cereal has fat and protein too. Total brand also
has a reduced carb version but I don't find it as enjoyable as the
special K.

Write back and I will give you more 'numbers' I have found to be
helpful. I also find that the ketostix were important to me so that I
could 'chart' the effect of the different food items I eat. I know
people don't always believe in them, but they prove to be an accurate
yardstick for me.

Hi Martha

You last two sections above:
" I'm more or less on maintenance and I don't find that I have to keep
my carbs extremely low, so someone who has to stick to 20 grams a day
might not have the same options.
Really though, you can have anything that fits in your plan for

.............I could not agree more.

Thank you very much for the posting.

Normally I have omelets... and vary the filling... but that is eggs.

So when I'm not having that, sometimes I will blend a fruit smoothie w/
protein powder & low carb milk

Or sometimes I will make that recipe for delicious blueberry soy muffins
from Low Carb & Lovin it

Or, I do have some pecan flax cereal that I like on occassion, especially
when it is cold outside

Or some fruit w/ cottage cheese

Or leftovers from lunch or dinner that I just have to stick in the microwave
and am good to go.

I make a hot cereal with flaxmeal, hazelnutmeal and protein powder. I
then add either maple flavoring, cocoa powder or cinnamon, depending on
my mood. I make up a big batch of about 21 servings and refrigerate it
since flaxseeds can go rancid once they are ground. Flaxmeal can be
slimy in cereal, which is why I add the protein powder. I also use salt
and Butter Buds when I make the big batch. Each 1/3-cup (dry) serving
has approximately 200 calories and 4-5 carbs. It's tasty, filling and
it helps keep me "regular". When it's time to cook it, I heat up 1/4-
1/3 cup of water in the microwave for 30 seconds, measure out 1/3 cup of
cereal into a bowl, stir with a tiny whisk, add flavoring and butter and
pop the bowl into the microwave for 1 minute. VERY easy and it only
takes about 2 minutes, if that, to make (not counting the time it takes
to make a big batch of it once every 3 weeks).

I don't eat a lot of eggs, other than when the mood strikes me. In any
case, it's good to get into the mindset of thinking about MEALS, as
opposed to breakfast/lunch/dinner. Eat whatever you want at any time of
day! Sometimes I have hot wings or turkey soup for "breakfast" instead
of cereal.

Thanks, everyone, for all these great ideas. I never thought about
eating different meals at different times of the day, but I guess that
is one area I could consider changing. But the fact is, I love cereal
in the morning and meat at night. And if I need protein, I really
prefer dairy products, such as milk or yogurt, in the earlier part of
the day.Eating meat at breakfast - probably like eggs - just gets to
me sometimes. Bacon is okay at breakfast, though, but then it is
usually with eggs. And I am sick o' eggs!

Keep up with the suggestions, though! I never realized what a fixed
mind / habit I have with meals . . . quite funny, really.

Try eating nothing for breakfast. Maybe you'll lose some excess lard.
