Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Your favorite breakfast food?
What is everyone's favorite breakfast food? I have been eating eggs and bacon for almost a week. Is there another solution for breakfast...something as convenient as eggs and bacon? I have looked at several recipes, but everything looks like it takes at least four ingredients, plus preparation time. I am looking for something quick that can get me out the door...before Atkins, I ate a banana and coffee on the way to work (I commute about 45 minutes each morning), and then a McDonald's fruit n yogurt parfait when I got to work. I'm afraid that breakfast will be my worst time to succum to the old way of eating... Thanks, EB > What is everyone's favorite breakfast food? romaine lettuce with chopped up chicken breast and lots of olive oil dressing. You won't find it in your "traditional breakfast recipes" cookbook, but food is food, to me :) Likewise, I enjoy haddock and green beans at breakfast time. "Breakfast" is just a time of day.

If you point me to studies where people on Atkins had a reduction in cholesterol, I'd not, but point out that the reduction wasn't across the board, and that the actual content of the individuals' diets weren't monitored for comparison. I think it's likely that some had a lower cholesterol intake than others, and, if there is a cholesterol-lowering benefit of the diet, it's possible that those with a lower cholesterol intake would benefit even more from that effect. Plus I find eggs boring after a while. I'm comfortable limiting my egg days to every other.

The research by Sung I. Koo, Yonghzhi Jiang and Sang K. Noh has resulted in the issue of U.S. Patent No. 6,248,728, "Compositions and methods for lowering intestinal absorption and plasma levels of cholesterol." The patent was issued June 19 to the KSU Foundation. A peer-reviewed research paper by the three researchers, "Egg phosphatidylcholine decreases the lymphatic absorption of cholesterol in rats," appears in the September issue of Journal of Nutrition. Many people believe that dietary cholesterol directly contributes to raising blood cholesterol. Because eggs provide about half the dietary cholesterol in a typical Western diet, the public has been advised to limit its egg consumption. Under the experimental conditions using an animal model that closely mimics human physiology, Koo and his associates found that a particular egg phospholipid interferes with the absorption of egg cholesterol and markedly lowers its uptake by the intestine. When the phospholipid is saturated, its inhibitory effect is further enhanced. The researchers controlled experimental conditions to specifically look at egg phospholipid and its effect on cholesterol absorption. Even though a good amount of cholesterol is consumed when an egg is eaten, much of the cholesterol becomes "unavailable for absorption" in the presence of the phospholipid, Koo said. "This may be a reason why so many studies found no association between egg intake and blood cholesterol," he said. The phospholipid, or lecithin, found in egg markedly inhibits the cholesterol absorption. The inhibition is not 100 percent, he said. Some cholesterol is absorbed but the amount is significantly reduced in the presence of this phospholipid. "Less absorption means less cholesterol introduced into the blood," Koo said. "We were able to determine experimentally that a substantial amount of the egg cholesterol is not going into the blood stream." But I think you've made up your mind already.

Skinny -- pre-diab hypo > >> What is everyone's favorite breakfast food? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Skinny -- > pre-diab hypo Hi Skinny (like that name) You could always cook up some fruit with Splenda the night before, and pretend it was jam and mix it with your cottage/ricotta cheese in the morning. You'd have to refrigerate what you weren't using right away, and use it within a day or two. It doesn't keep very long because real sugar acts somewhat as a preservative, but Splenda doesn't seem to do that. I cook up strawberries with Splenda and use them as a sauce over lowcarb ice cream. Probably would work with other berries as well towards satisfying a fruit craving..... Yummy.

Is there another solution for [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks, > EB I sometimes make a casserole in advance. Cook a pound of breakfast sausage up with some chopped bell pepper and onion, drain and line a large casserole with it. Beat 18 eggs with a half cup of cream and pour over the sausage. Top with shredded cheddar and bake at 350 until cooked through. This makes 8 *large* breakfasts that can just be nuked before work. For variety's sake, eggs are good as omelets or custards which can give you tons of ways to eat eggs differently all the time. Any type of meat works too, not just bacon - a ham slice, a pork chop, a steak, a hamburger. I particularly like beef with over-easy eggs myself. Protein powder shakes are a big around here too. Full-fat yogurt or ricotta flavored with cocoa and sweetener or a Davinci syrup. Plus just general leftovers from dinner, doesn't *have* to be breakfast food for breakfast. I have eaten for breakfast at various times: EGGS - every sort of way - sometimes with bacon, sometimes with sausage, sometimes simply fried (with the yolks pierced so it fries flat) sometimes as an omelet with a few spears of leftover asparagus and a sprinkle of grated cheese in it. Sometimes scrambled very soft and mushy with freshly grated pepper and a dash of cream in them.....Current favorite - sauteed onion omelet with asiago cheese shredded over the top.

It reminded me of one of the breakfast items at my sons school. Its like a corndog, except its got a sausage in it. The cornbread is very high carb for sure. I like boiled eggs, sometimes I dice them up, add some vegies to it, a little mayo. The cottage cheese with splenda and cinnamin sounds really good. Havn't tried that, great idea! I also make scrambles eggs, then make individual portions by putting them into a nonstick muffin pan, top it with crumbled sausage, with low carb ketchup. The boys like that. I love omelettes, with green pepper, red onion, ham, cheese, tomato in them. No one else here likes it that way.

With low carb maple syrp. Except it has too many carbs for breakfast for me. I like to save the carbs for later in the day. On weekends when we are not all rushed in the morning, I make it.

Again, my whole family loved them. In the future, I will thaw some frozen cooked shrimp and throw those in too. Any more fun ideas for omelets out there? Rebecca I love my buffalo chicken omelets myself. 2 large eggs, some heavy whipping, left over chicken strips, motozerlla cheese(i spell bad I know) and homemade buffalo sauce(basicly butter, hot sauce of choice, a little garlic powder) mix the eggs and the cream of course drop it all in a pan wit a bit of butter in it then drench the chicken with the buffalo sauce, put on a layer of cheese then add the chicken flop the omelet then server with a little drizzle of the win sauce on the top and a little shake of cayanne pepper. Also serve with a bit of bleu cheese dressing and calery obviously. > > What is everyone's favorite breakfast food? I have been eating eggs and > > bacon for almost a week.

I am looking for something quick that A scoop of cottage cheese with a few chopped strawberries and Splenda, or a tablespoon of sugarfree strawberry jam. Breakstone is one brand of cottage cheese that doesn't taste salty like a lot of them do.

Breakstone is one brand >of cottage cheese that doesn't taste salty like a lot of them do. I made a sort of chocolate decadence with cottage cheese, cream cheese, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Maybe some sour cream. Could add instant coffee or expresso. Make a lot in advance. Could add fruit, fresh raspberries or tart canned cherries soaked in whatever sweetner. This would also work as filling for a crepe. Ground nuts or sunflower seeds would be good too. Problem with this is it's so filling I don't want more to eat for a long time. Another idea. In the past I would make a whole blender full of eggnog flavored with instant decaf coffee. Then warm up a cupful for breakfast. I'd heat milk till scalding, then beat the eggs in the blender and pour the milk in while the blender was running; the heat would cook the eggs, and they got more cooking when I warmed it later.
