Thinking Outside the Cereal Box

Breakfast is a must, but it can be boring for the average Low Carb newbie. Eggs, eggs, and more eggs seem to be the menu for most. Now eggs are very versatile with more than 100 different recipes out there, but if you don’t learn one of the most important breakfast tricks you may find yourself fighting off the urge to cluck. I call it Thinking Outside the Cereal Box.

As a kid I loved when we had breakfast foods like pancakes and sausage for school lunch. Well this trick works on the same principle. Let go of the notion that breakfast has to include typical breakfast foods like eggs, cereal, grits, & bacon. Once you do that your breakfast menu just increased 10 fold.

How I Think Outside the Cereal Box

Reheating some dinner leftovers… Great cause there is no cooking in the A.M.
Ice Cold Low Carb Shakes are filling, vitamin packed, & great for non breakfast people (I like Atkins Cafe’ Carmel)
Egg, Tuna, Chicken, or Salmon Salad topped on a few cucumber slices
Deli Meat & Cheese Roll ups with spicy mustard or smoky horse radish
I stay away from most low carb alternatives like low carb waffles or breakfast bars, they disappointment me taste wise & I’m more prone to cheat. (If anyone loves one let me know so I can try)
Fiber Supplement with breakfast helps meet my daily requirement and fills the belly… calculate your needed fiber intake at: http://www.healthcalculators.org/calculators/fiber.asp
Fish is a quick meat in the morning with veggies
Cheese and berries are a light breakfast I love
B.L.T. lettuce wraps or on a low carb bread is also yummy
If in the mood for eggs I always use egg beaters which have fewer calories and cholesterol

Thinking Outside the Cereal Box gets rid of the breakfast bore.
