Starting LCHF Diet... Breakfast Ideas....

[Pigeon]

I'm experimenting with this too. Have you tried Skyr yoghurts? They're starting to appear in main supermarkets. It's a high protein, low carb yoghurt. Seems fine with a few berries chucked in.

I also like low carb English muffins: 1 egg, 1tbsp almond flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking powder in a mug. Whisk well and microwave for approx 30 seconds, remove from the mug, slice and toast. Lots of butter 🙂

Mate I can't stop drooling thinking about this. I don't have almond flour (not sure where to get it), but I do have some coconut flour and found a receipy online that is similar (also adds some ground flax which I also have). I'm gonna have a crack at it at the weekend. I'm thinking a poached egg, slice of ham, and some cider vinaigre hollandaise.

Eggs Paleodickt!

Just remembered a favorite of my wife's.... Bullet Proof Coffee, used to give her energy pretty much all through the day (or at least until lunchtime), I didn't much care for it as I like my coffee black (no sweetener).

not sure if that is for me TBH, I'm like you, I like it black and bitter.

Almond flour can be bought from wholefoods online (l think that's right) or you can get ground almonds from Lidls which should work just as well.

To satisfy my drooling taste buds I had a go at the muffins. And they were a success (though I might add a bit more liquid next time to get it to rise a bit more):

Butter grease two ramakins
Melt a knob of butter - 1/4 of an inch off a block of butter sort of amount
Add to 1 tbsp coconut flour
1 pinch of baking powder
1 egg
1 tbsn milk
Pinch of salt

Whisk then spoon into 2 ramakins. Microwave for 2.5 - 3 min. Take out of ramekin, let it cool a bit, then slice.

I ate one, after toasting it and putting a slice of warm ham and a fried egg on top.

I think these work out to 5-6 carbs a muffin. I have the next one to eat tomorrow 🙂

I have gone off eggs at the moment but often have 2 rashers of bacon, some mushrooms and half a small tin of Sainsburys reduced sugar baked beans. Other mornings I have 2 small slices of toast and marmite made with a low carb bread such as Nimble or Burgen.

Good morning Shelagh, I have not read all the above, but I picked up tone useful idea from here of just googling 'recipe for lower carb .....(whatever your meal of choice is)'
There are usually loads of ideas. There are some differences between people's definition of lower carb, but the ideas on here will help you to pick the appropriate sites.
