At the moment I'm eating either cheese omelets or some Blueberries with Greek yogurt and flaked almonds for breakfast. Has anyone got some ideas about what else to have for breakfast?

I only eat twice a day at the most, and these days I often make some soup, cooking up meat and veges in the pressure cooker and then using the Bamix to pulverize it. In the past I used to do steak and mushrooms, or a chop and stirfry, but I'm not very hungry these days. Some mornings I just have a mug of coffee.
 
Bacon, cabbage, mushrooms and egg....Yum! Love cabbage with bacon any time of day!

Leftover curry... yum!

Currently I am having stewed rhubarb from the garden with my yoghurt and mixed seeds and I have a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon and a few chopped leaves of lemon balm. Other times I have raspberries, or mixed berries or sour cherries with my yoghurt and sometimes chopped nuts.

If I needed a grab and go breakfast, I used to keep a box of Nature Valley Protein bars in the cupboard but I started to find that I ate too many of them. At just under 10g carbs per bar. they are filling and easy if you aren't like me and have no discipline. 🙄 I had to stop buying them. :(

I made some low carb wraps once with chaffle batter, cooked them off like crepes in a hot frying pan, filled them with a mixture of lettuce and a chopped sundried tomato and strips of black pudding and mayonnaise. You could use bacon or sausage if you don't like black pudding but I love it! You do have to bear in mind that there are some carbs in black pudding but a small amount gives the wrap plenty of flavour without too many carbs, but bacon obviously has less carbs, so you could make a BLT wrap like that.
 
Avocado with a dollop of mayo or salad cream in each half eaten with two slices of the seeded low carb toasted bread I get, about 1.3 carbs a slice.

Peanut butter spread thick on low carb bread toast. or marmalade spread thinly.

Kvarg high protein 'youghart' type things (tesco), but usually have just a half as have toast and thin spear of marmalade with it. Cant do many carbs in morning, max about 10.

Poached eggs on low carb toast

Full english fried breakfast.

Other cooked eggs, i.e. boiled or scrambled with ham, mushrooms.

Keto porridge, thin slice of cantaloupe melon

Raspberries and strawberries with cream or crem fresh.

Rarely kippers

Sometimes pumpkin seed long biscuits (zero carb, riveta size) with cheese
 
Most mornings I have eggs in some form or another; scrambled, poached, omelette. This morning I had a bacon omelette.

Breakfast is usually my carb 'treat' meal as well and will often have toast with the eggs. Rest of the day will be carb free.
