Breakfast

[neo]

Hi All, It's good to post/exchange ideas/talk, Here's what I have for breakfast if I don't have a veggie scramble.
In a large bowl I add 4 or 5 heaped dessertspoons of wheat bran ( lots of fibre, great for reducing one's chances of bowel cancer ).
4 or 5 heaped dessertspoons of homemade muesli; basically just assorted nuts and seeds ( aldi & lidl for best prices ) chopped in an electric food chopper, ( made in batches and stored in a large tupperware and kept in the fridge )
A big handful of mixed berries; raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries.
1 heaped dessertspoon of milled flax seed, 1 large chopped avocado.
Alpro 'no sugars' almond milk drink, maybe not very low carb but it keeps me going easily until lunchtime.

Any other low carb breakfast ideas?

Full fat Greek yoghurt with a selection of your berries and nuts and seeds.
Any other eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, high meat content sausages
Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon
Cheese on Toast if you can tolerate bread

Omelette
Fried eggs and fried chorizo
Frittata (basically crustless quiche - meat/veg/cheese with egg and milk mixture or egg and cream mixture cooked in oven)
Kind nut snack bar

Don't eat red meat of any kind, lost 2 brothers at early age to cancer, cancer research org advise moderate intake of red meat, so I cut it out altogether, just bird meat and fish/seafood.
I do enjoy a veggie fry-up at the café, fried eggs, mushrooms, linda Mc cartney sausages, 1 naughty hash brown, grilled fresh tomato, no baked beans (too much sugar).

Any thoughts on heinz baked beans no added sugar???

Personally I wouldn't have them because my IBS tends to flare when I have much in the way of sweeteners. I haven't compared the total carbohydrate content myself for that reason so I don't know how much different it is

You may be fine with a small portion of the beans but that is where testing can come into it's own when you have restriction on the 'carb free' foods.
Cauldron veggie sausages are low carb.

Approx 50% of the carbohydrate amount stated on the tins of Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce, is accounted for by the sauce. But - still carb in the beans themselves and however much sugar you take out of the sauce - you can't remove the carbs in the beans.
