breakfast?

Hi Gang -- Recently crushed the scales, and am in my first week of
Atkins Induction. Enjoying it, and already feeling some progress.
But I also already know that I'm going to get extremely sick of eggs
(with sausage or a small breakfast steak or small hamburger patty) for
breakfast. I enjoy eggs, but never in my life have I eaten them more
than two mornings a week. I do enjoy them for dinner now and then,
too.
Any alternative breakfast suggestions would be very much appreciated.
And I've enjoyed reading the posts I've seen. Looks like a good,
supportive crowd here.
hey, can somebody explain the three weights listed, separated with
backslashes? I assume those are weights at certain progress points?
THANKS

Pretty much anything you could eat for lunch or dinner on low carb is
fine for breakfast. The key is to remove the mental fences that
delineate "breakfast" foods from "lunch and dinner" foods. :-)

It can be. The support comes in different guises, and some don't
really do support well at all. If you've been lurking though you know
that already. ;-)

Correct. Starting weight/present weight/goal weight

Take care,

Forget what most of the world thinks is "breakfast food". For me, anything
that is *food* is food for whichever meal I am having. It could be eggs,
it could be leftover chicken salad, it could be poached salmon with a side
of spinach...

The only limits are those you place on yourself.

Anything you can eat for lunch or dinner, you can eat for breakfast,
although I will admit that I'm in an 8-month rut of cheese omelets.

Most of the time. ;-)

I've gotten to the point (and you will too quite possibly) where appetite
suppression is in full swing, and I hardly ever eat a full breakfast
anymore. Lately it's been one shake (the Atkins-alike generic H-E-B version)
and a cup of coffee each morn with heavy cream / Splenda.

I eat omelets an awful lot. I just use the eggs as a holder for whatever I
feel like, so it isn't like I am just eating eggs. I put all kinds of
things in omelets including leftovers from the day before.

I should stress that this is NOT really suitable for Induction level carbs,
but once you move on to higher level you might like to try my current
favourite breakfast: a few blueberries (or sliced strawberries), a
tablespoon or so of flaked almonds, some natural unsweetened yoghurt and a
touch of splenda. Yummmm. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of All Bran for added
fibre. Shop around for the lowest carb yoghurt you can find. Im not a big
fan of eggs either and I find this really quick and easy.

On another, less-low-carb forum I've seen talk about alternative
breakfasts. For 'dense' protein (as in meat and eggs) they suggest also
traditional cheeses like cheddar, cottage cheese, almonds, various
protein powders, beans.

Less dense are proteins like in cream cheese, milk, yogurt, tofu.

Lots of people use protein shakes, maybe prepare it in advance.

Hi Parker, welcome to the group!

As others have said, you can eat anything you want for breakfast as long as it's
on-plan. Once you are out of induction, you might try making a cereal with
flaxmeal, almond or hazelnut meal, protein powder and flavorings such as vanilla
or cinnamon. Google this group for ideas on making your own cereal. I sometimes
eat a salad for breakfast and often have leftovers from dinner. I tend to have
"meals" as opposed to breakfast/lunch/dinner -- I got into that habit when I was
working nights.
