Those of you who are low-carbing... what is a typical breakfast for you?

Trying to find good, healthy, lowish-carb breakfasts are getting old. Eggs are getting boring and I'm not sure how good they are for my cholesterol levels, either.

I say low-carb"ish" because I "do" have carbs, just healthy ones, and am trying to keep them to about 20-25 grams for the morning meal.

Any ideas?

 
I'm not on a low-carb program, but I often eat whole grain cereals- about 20-22 gr carb for 3/4 cup

 
Dawn, I am lo carbing most of the time..... and I have a few breakfasts >>>

that I alternate. I usually have about 1/4 cup of orange juice..just enough to take my vitamins.
Then I'll have either a container of lo fat yogurt (of late, it's been Dannon, Lite & Fit... 60 cal, 11 grams), or an egg white omelette, from the store bought carton, or a slice of 7 grain bread, toasted, with a hard boiled egg, sliced & seasoned with my choice, or the same bread, toasted & topped with a slice of no cholesterol cheese & seasoning.

 
hi Dawn, for me, a rice cake with almond or peanut butter is a real treat. if I know what the ...

rest of the day looks likel, carb wise, than maybe just a bit of jelly. tuna fish works for me too. doesn't sound like breakfast but it is a healhty treat if you have to keep the carbs low.

 
Dawn, i have been trying to stay low carb and found the following (m)

book at Borders Book store and find it very informative and helpful.
The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Eating Made Easy the Beginner's Guide to Eating with the Glycemic Index--Featuring the top 100 Low GI Foods. Dr. jennie Brand-Miller Kaye Foster- Powell with Philippa Sandall (All this is on the front cover.) Even if you do not want to buy it, just take a look see. There are samples of breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Not a cut and dried "diet" to follow.

 
I typically have a 5 or 6 egg white omelet...

typically with mushrooms and spinach.

I'm not much of a lunch eater - but breakfast is really important to me. I find eating this breakfast on the days I work really satisfies me and gives me plenty of energy.
