Start The Day Out Right With An Easy Low-Carb Breakfast

Breakfast has been long declared the most important meal of the day. There are a number of reasons why this is considered a fact:

Breakfast is like the kindling that starts your metabolic fire burning for the day. Start with weak kindling and you’ll get a weak fire. Start with good kindling and you’ll get a big, bright fire that burns long and strong.

Having a good breakfast starts you out right mentally, as well. It gives you confidence in the decision you’ve made to eat well which will set you up to continue that trend throughout the day.

If you eat a good breakfast you’ll feel satisfied and you won’t start off your day thinking about what’s in the vending machine at work. If you’re not thinking about food you’re much less likely to binge and cheat during the rest of the day.

Now we know how breakfast works to our advantage. But, the hardest part of breakfast might not be whether or not to eat it, but WHAT to eat. Here are a few quick and easy low-carb breakfast ideas:

Scrambled Eggs and Spinach: Crack two eggs into a skillet, stir, and when they start to set up add in some chopped spinach and mix together until eggs set up and spinach wilts. Add some cheese on top when cooked if you like.

Ham and Poached Egg: Place ham slices in a muffin tin, forming it like a cup. Then crack an egg and add it in. Cook in the oven until the egg is set. Top with cheese. For variety beat the egg slightly with some added spinach or other low-carb vegetable.

Loaded Omelette: Put low-carb veggies of your choice cut up in a skillet with ham or bacon, cooking slightly, then add eggs, and top with cheese when the eggs are cooked. Fold over and serve. Don’t worry if you can’t flip it perfectly, messy omelets taste just as yummy!

Low-carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake: Use chocolate flavored protein powder and natural peanut butter, add them to unsweetened Almond Milk (check the carbs ñ should be 1 carb per cup) and blend with ice to make a great shake.

Non-Breakfast Breakfast: You don’t always have to have eggs or shakes for breakfast. Mix things up with a green salad or coleslaw topped with diced cooked chicken, or with chopped chicken salad served in celery boats, or with smoked salmon mashed into cream cheese and spread on celery sticks. White tuna mixed with yogurt and mustard is another low-carb treat that can be enjoyed anytime, morning, noon, or night.

You can get tired of the same thing each morning, especially when you are limiting your choices. Look for ways you can use similar low-carb ingredients, but mix them up into new ways. Breakfast doesn’t have to be boring if you expand your thoughts about what breakfast should be. Take the time to plan for breakfast and you’ll notice the results all day long.
