Low carb/ Paleo breakfast ideas

[putyourhatonsweetie]

Hi all

Wondering if any of you can inspire me with delicious low carb breakfast ideas. If I weren't dieting I would have one of the following:

avocado on toast
raisin bread
muesli and yoghurt
crumpets
fruit salad
fried egg sandwich (only if its been a rough night with dc!)

But would like to gove low card a go and all I can think of is eggs....

cheers

aside from eggs (scrambled in butter, poached, boiled (tasty mixed with butter when hot, omelette etc etc):

• avocado (minus the toast obv)
• yoghurt (full fat greek, possibly with a few berries, depends how strict you're being)
• sausages (low carb, check the packet)
• bacon
• mushrooms fried in butter
• mushrooms fried in butter with a tbsp of boursin stirred in (heaven, but probably not before an important meeting or hot date!)
• handful of nuts (macadamias are low carb, but again depends how strict you want to be)
• cream cheese pancakes (i would avoid the sweetener personally)
• leftovers from the night before (my personal favourite, makes me feel like a rebel eating moussaka for breakfast )

mix and match from the above!

thanks for replying....wondering how I had managed to forget about mushrooms, one of my favourite foods

hmm i realise you've put paleo in the title, sorry - depending on how strict you want to me you might not want to include the dairy suggestions or the processed meat

i try to keep an eye on how much dairy and processed meat i have (no more than a handful of meals including them per week), but i don't exclude them completely

yes yes agree about mushrooms!

nothing better

Leftovers from dinner the night before.

Romaine/little gem/other sturdy lettuce "wrap" with tuna/egg mayo/chicken/blt etc filling

soup

Berries with yogurt and nuts and something a bit proteins on the side

bacon, eggs, mushroom ans tomatoes

boiled egg with dippy veg sticks

big salad with some meat/fish/boiled eggs

stir-fried green with meat/fish/eggs

For breakfasts on the run I always boil a load of eggs and have them in the fridge, so I can have an egg or two if I am running late.

Or a soft boiled egg eaten with a sausage (which makes me feel like a slob of Homer Simpspon proportions).

Mushroom omelette.

That said, macadamias are great. They are normally fiendishly expensive but Sainsburys sell little snack bags which are just over a quid for 60g, far cheaper than anywhere else I have found.
