Induction Breakfast Suggestions

[shawnee]

Come on guys there are a lot of new folks here let's give them some options. Makes this a long thread

for me this week

Monday: chopped & Turkey Pastrami mixed & scrambled/w eggs
Tuesday: Turkey Bacon & Eggs
Weds: Smoked Mackarel & Eggs

Do I ever have a no egg breakfast

Yeah I sometimes do the "I Can't Believe It's Not Panackes" made from crushed Pork Rinds & Cream (& eggs)w/small layer of butter & not syrup.

I'm always looking for b'fast ideas. Somebody help me out here.

Maybe a hint that can help others - as I am a mom of 6 and work full time - I have found instead of adding pressure for myself - I cook my breakfast night night before (2 egg omlet with cheese 2 sausages) and cover put in refig and then heat it up in the morning - I also pack my lunch the night before for work so this way in the morning all is set when I walk out the door.

I sometimes eat a "mock danish". Have you heard of it? It's famous on lowcarber website. The original recipe calls for an egg, some cream cheese, a little bit of 50 fifty jelly, lemon extract, and Splenda.
Let me know if you aren't familiar with it and want the recipe. It is great. I don't know who's recipe it is, but I've altered mine several ways. I highly recommend it.

I eat lettuce rolls sometimes: Get a leaf of lettuce fill it with egg salad, chicken salad, bacon and tomato, etc. and roll it up.

I also eat left over creamy vegetable soups that I make from scratch...good especially now in the winter.

Leftovers are good too.

my favorite breakfast
cold grilled fish (done the night before)
and miso soup....yum!

[James'Girl]

Pammie: What is miso soup?>

Momof6:I make both my lunch and now brkfst the night before also, it taltally saves on time esp. for those non-morning people like me.

got4girlies: Yes yes I have not seen a version of the mock dnish with lemon extract. Give some more examples if you can

[Calouste]

Thanks for all the breakfast ideas guys! Third day on atkins, I actually cheated last night. I am so disappointed with myself. However, this is a new day and it won't happen again. This site provides such encouragement. Thanks a lot!

James'girl- I am not sure if these recipes are allowed on the normal induction phase of Atkins, so do it at your own risk. :laughing However, I have them because I nurse and therefore add a few more carbs to my diet.

Here is the original recipe I found :
2 ozs cream cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp Splenda
1 tsp lemon concentrate (sorry it wasn't lemon extract, just juice)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Soften the cream cheese in the microwave in a small bowl for about 20 seconds. You may want to spray it first with Pam because the egg does stick a bit.
Stir the cream cheese, then add the egg. Mix it until the yolk is blended, but don't blend it completely because you'll want the pockets of cream cheese in there (the best part to me). Then you stir in the remaining ingredients and nuke for 2 minutes in the microwave.
This recipe is 4 grams of carbs like it is.
I've never made it just like that though. Here's the way I've eaten it:

Pumpkin Pie-like Mock Danish (this is my favorite version)
2 oz cream cheese
1 tbsp Splenda
1 tbsp pumpkin
a touch of pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Soften the cheese for 20 seconds. Stir, and add the egg. Stir until the yolk is blended. Add the remaining ingredients, make sure you just sprinkle a little bit of pumpkin spice. Nuke for 2 minutes 10 seconds. I like to stir it. The pumpkin I use by Libby says a WHOLE can is only 9 gram, so I know that a tbsp can't be much at all. I would say it may be around 6 grams total. You may want to add butter to enhance the flavor even more, but I don't.

With the original recipe, you may want to omit the lemon and add a teaspoon of low carb jelly. This is the way I eat it most. Get some 50 fifty jam or other low carb jelly (be careful though, I saw that mine was 5 grams for a tbsp, so I use half the serving). When everything else is mixed up, drop 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp, depending on carb amount, in the center. It taste great to me!
I've also heard of some people making them with a little bit of cocoa in them to give it a chocolate cheese cake flavor to it. I recommend adding a little maple flavoring to this, as it always enhances the chocolate flavor for low carb recipes.
You just get creative with it. You can make it with a variety of low carb things really.

I wouldn' eat the chocolate version on the induction no matter what though. I haven't eaten it yet because I'm afraid it will cause chocolate cravings for me. :grimble
