Eggbeaters sandwich with low carb bread and low fat mayo. Cottage cheese with sugar free jams (Smuckers, Polander), and I'll put about a tablespoon (if that much) into about 3/4 cup of Cottage Cheese and mix it all up! Home made egg mcmuffins are good too!! An English Muffin has about 26g carbs, and if you add an egg, a sausage patty (or some bacon) and a slice of cheese, ya got a meal, and only 26 carbs. Whole grain sprouted wheat toast with peanut butter with 1/2 banana and Oceanspray cranberry juice lite and 1/2 cup low fat sugar free yogurt Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on whole wheat sprouted grain toast and strawberries on the side Microwaved scrambled egg substitutes with Morningstar veggie sausages (yum) or turkey bacon and two slices of Nature's Own Wheat&Fiber high fiber toast (about 25g carbs) Two South Beach Diet grain bars & Ocean Spray Diet juices (about 37g carbs) Bowl of cheerios (or other cereal) with splenda and a handful of frozen blueberries or fresh strawberries with skim milk. Grilled veggie sandwich with cheese, sliced cucumbers and fresh spinach I’ve struggled with breakfasts and here is what I like:
