So kind of a follow-up of the healthy living thread. The more I read the more I want to do low-carb, but a sustainable low-carb. I have plenty of lunch/dinner and even snack ideas, but I'm really failing on breakfast ideas.
I haven't officially started yet, but I have been trying to just eat less carbs the last few days. Today for dinner I had salad with cheese and tuna and a pickle (my mom made noodle soup with bread on the side and then complained that my dad ate too much bread and should have eaten more noodles *sigh*). For lunch I had some cheese and a pickle (wasn't really hungry).
But breakfast? I don't have time to cook in the morning. I *might* be able to get away with popping something in the microwave to heat up, but that's it. I'm not a fan of eggs, but I can force down a cold hard-boiled egg once in a while, and I like cooked-to-death scrambled eggs...but not cold. I'd really rather not eat breakfast, but I have to eat with my meds. Right now it's usually a granola bar or an Ensure or something like that.
ETA: Also for those of you who eat low-carb, how many carbs do you eat in a day?
