No-sugar soya yogurt (not to ev1’s taste!) or Greek yogurt, mixed seeds, walnuts, handful of blueberries, black coffee.
 
I have often wondered why breakfast has to be something different from any other meal. In India, I had curry for breakfast. In Indonesia, I had nasi goreng.
Ok, neither of these are low carb so not the answer you are looking for., But they are examples of thinking outside the box. What low carb things do you eat other times of the day and can you eat them in the morning?
It doesn't have to be a fry up or yoghurt or fruit.

If you want something more "traditional", I often make myself egg muffins. These are little fritatas made in muffin cases. They contain beaten eggs plus whatever I have in the cupboard chopped up small. I have included cheese, tomatoes, spring onions, herbs, courgettes, peppers, ... unless you are vegetarian, you can include ham or chopped up (cooked) sausage.
I pour this mixture into muffin cases and put them in the oven at a medium temperature (gas mark 5ish) for 15 minutes, until they are solid. They keep for 5 days to a week in the fridge and can be very quickly reheated in the microwave or eaten cold.

I had the last of the roast chicken and a bit of coleslaw this morning, and a cup of coffee with cream.
It was quick, had to be as I was in a hurry to leave to pick up a knitting machine.
 
I’m struggling with quick low carb breakfasts any ideas please
Coffee with double cream works for me, nothing solid until PM

I have curry or chinese or pizza for breakfast, but normally only if it's leftover from the takeaway the night before!

Thank you this sounds good and would be quick on work days.
 
2 Portobello mushrooms, with pine nuts (15g) & goats cheese (30g) works for me...,
Hi MrPixels, are you eating this combo raw?
Thanks

I have been reading this morning how eating mushrooms can be beneficial, I guess I need to incorporate these more in my diet ;
