What do you eat for breakfast?

Today, breakfast was at noon. I had breakfast sausage, cooked as ground not patties or links, which I put 2 fried eggs on top. On the side a fresh locally grown tomato with mayonnaise.

I never ate breakfast until I became diabetic, at which point my doc and dietician said I had to, but I also have to keep it to 40 carbs. I spent a lot of time researching and looking at labels in the store, and have come up with several things.

First off, eggs are free. I will eat a hard boiled egg now and again, but they're heavy.

Bagels are way out due to carbs, but bagel thins are only about 22 grams of carbs. Add some peanut butter or Neufchatel cheese and I'm well under 40 carbs. Substitute some of the English Muffin varieties, same thing.

One of my favorites is an 'everything' bagel thin, a slice of smoked provolone, a schmear of Neufchatel, and a tablespoon of my homemade tomato jam.

One Eggo waffle, a turkey sausage patty, and a scrambled egg on a weekend, with a glass of no sugar added 5 calorie juice. Sugar free syrup, of course.

A homemade Egg McMuffin (or biscuit) with bacon or sausage.

There is a company called Aunt Millie's bakery that makes a low calorie bread, and it's good. Most stores around me sell it, not sure if they're nationwide. Instead of 17 grams a carbs per slice, it's 14 grams of net carbs for two slices. So, a bacon or sausage sandwich once in a while, or just peanut butter on toast. Or, toast and an over easy egg.

And of course, oatmeal. Plain oatmeal (as previously noted) is boring. But plain oatmeal with cinnamon and a non sugar sweetener is pretty decent. There are a couple of the flavored instants I can eat, one is apple/raisin/walnut. I always add ground flaxseed to help with cholesterol, and it adds a nutty flavor.

One of my desk drawers has been relegated to pantry. I keep a jar of peanut butter, English muffins or bagel thins, and a couple of different oatmeal types. I usually eat breakfast at work. I also have some soups and other canned goods for lunch if needed, but that's a different thread!

Note that all of these choices are well below 40 grams of carbs, most aren't over 30, and some are below 20. This morning I had a slice of toast and peanut butter for a total of 15 grams of carbs. I could've doubled that and still been at 30, but I'm watching my figure!

I'm a Diabetic also. Doctor says we can't eat anything that is white.

We don't have a particular breakfast that can be classified as our favourite, but the breakfast menu in our house is extensive.

- Toasted bacon, tomato, and aged cheddar cheese sandwiches
- Bacon & eggs
- Hashbrowns & sausages
- Denny's Restaurant style Moons-over-my-hamy
- French Toast
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Egg Omelettes
- Tasted Denver sandwiches
- Toasted egg sandwiches with jalapeno and cheddar
- Yogurt and fruit
- Hot cereals (oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Sunny Boy, Red River)

Problem is our appetites aren't what they used to be, and a good number of days we just enjoy a few cups of coffee with a couple slices of toast.

I do intermittent fasting so black coffee, no sugar. But I would love to have humongous pancakes and crispy bacon and eggs and .... Everything everyone wrote and will write on this thread. :)
 
Most mornings it's oatmeal, dressed in various ways, to keep it interesting.

But this morning I'm having sausage and gravy with biscuits. Left overs from last night's breakfast for dinner.
