Oatmeal here too most days. Sometimes home made yoghurt with berries or nuts and the occasional grill up. No eggs, I'm allergic.

No eggs , sorry to here, Would be stuck without eggs. 🙂. My mother is also into making Yoghurts with what she wants to put in 🙂
 
Will have to look at how to make yoghurt, that's a new one to me :/ picking up that burger soya and linseed bread is worth trying too. Awesome help thank you all x
 
Porridge for me, every day. Love the stuff! I could happily have it for dinner as well if my hubby didn't force me to eat properly!
However, it has to be the jumbo oats, not the normal Quaker type stuff, otherwise my BG spikes hugely!
Jumbo oats seem to keep it more steady, and I make mine with water to cut down on carbs!
 
Mmmmm, porridge. Just finished mine and could quite happily have another bowl.

Hi,
Probably the meal I have the least inspiration for as I never usually eat (I know I know bad bad pickle). Anyway, most major change has been eating regular meals but I'm really struggling for what to eat for breakfast. Can anyone suggest anything I can try so I can get some variety in and keep up the habit?

I never miss having "breakie". From the age of 3 can you imagine having to eat set meals of 40/50carbs. That is what I was brought up with in the 60s. I regularly had upto 6pts of milk just to get the carbs into me. These days you can adjust how much insulin easily. But having "Breakie" is quite important at the start of a day at work 🙂
 
Sorry I can only eat porridge with condensed milk 😱 (my mother has a lot to answer for!) so its bacon, egg and tomato for me.
 
Greek yogurt, fruit, muesli, coffee. Croissant and jam on Sundays (got to have the odd treat!). Sometimes have toast with olive oil and rub a tomato on it too, then cheese and ham. Never fancy eggs in the morning!:D
 
Scrambled eggs during the week then flaxseed pancakes with sugar free maple syrup on Saturday and bacon and eggs on Sunday.

Love my brekkie.

My brother lives in Spain and he made that as a snack for me once when we went over. Toast, olive oil, slice a tomato on it and a sprinkle of salt - so simple but very nice. He also used to halve an avocado, remove the stone and fill the hole with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt - again, simple but delicious.

Brekkie for me is porridge every day. :D
 
Later in the day, toast olive oil and garlic rubbed over it. Luvverly!
 
Mmmmmm, I first had olive oil on toast with a rubbing of tomato on holiday in Barcelona. So when my cholesterol was borderline high and I quit using butter, it was a delicious new way of eating toast and I prefer it now. It tastes refreshing, if that's possible?!🙄
 
Was Olive picking in Cyprus & went to factory that processed the oil. Amazing flavour , lightly done toast, olive oil & lemon juice-little salt. If done right & good oil BRILL 😎
