What's for Breakfast?

Since there's a "What's for Dinner?" Thread, I thought I'd start a "What's for Breakfast" to get an idea of what others eat.

Today I ate:

5oz of New York Striploin Steak
2 large eggs, fried (in butter)
1 oz. of old cheddar melted on the eggs
1/4 of a Granny Smith apple

(I find I don't tolerate much carbohydrate at breakfast, except when I'm doing distance cycling in the day, so I eat one slice of apple, or a small serving of berries, or something similar for fiber, etc.)

Nutritional Info: About 640 calories, 6g of carbs, 54g of protein, 42g of fat.

I also take some meds, etc., with my breakfast:

1000mg Glumetza (Extended-release Metformin)
75mg Arthrotec (for my osteoarthritis)
900mg Gabapentin (for nerve pain)
81mg Aspirin (Family History of Heart Disease and my own hypertension)
2000iu Vitamin D (I'm extremely deficient without supplementation)
100mg R-ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid, for glucose management)

So, what are the rest o' ya eating today? Or any day?

not very interesting breakfast but here it is..

corned beef hash, I like mine crispy. 2poached eggs on top.

I got some new for the season coffee, Pumpkin Pie with spices. I whipped the cream & put more pumpkin pie spice on it.
Not to sure I even like it :tea: but it sure smells good when being ground.

I think it's very interesting - and it's popular because it's so good. Crispy is the way to go - love it!

Y'know what? I think I should try CBH with my wee turnips . . . betcha'd never know the difference!
:D Now if our market will only put corned beef roasts on sale . . .

p.s. This thread has now been duly "stickied" right up there with what's for dinner! :D

I had 2 slice of multi grain bread with turkey, avocado, olive spread and 2 slice of chicken breast + instant coffee with milk and a glass of green tea.

No sure how many carbs it is. To me, just eat and exercise it all out.. LOL..going to have a 5 kms walk soon with my Standard Poodles

most good quality breads like that have 21 or 22 carbs each, I love sandwiches but they spike me quickly, as one person put it on FB, that keeps me high for days, haha!
I really like the sub. bread that I made for my breakfast sandwich, it is tasty, you can add seeds or finely chopped nuts to it, nutritional yeast, etc., and it does not break apart.
your sandwich does sound good though :)

Hmmm... I don't really eat a breakfast. I have some nuts and cheese first thing... then 3 hours later I have some scrambled eggs and/or bacon. Today I had bacon :)

Hi, I know this is a post from a few years ago, but I was wondering if
you still use it. I have egg beaters with 1tbs of flax, 1/2 Avacodo, a tbs of blueberries. I eat at 6am.. My reading at noon are close to 200. I can't understand it. Any suggestions. Am I eating to little? Thank you for any input. Sam

Today was a leftover burger patty from the other night with 2 eggs fried, covered in a slice of old cheddar.

Greek Full-fat Yoghurt with one level teaspoon honey and flaked almonds. I just can't face meat and eggs for breakfast daily...

Sounds yummy! Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite dishes, but english muffins are so carb-dense. I started just putting it over a slice of thick cut ham or Canadian bacon...but I fried the eggs instead of poaching b/c I can't poach worth a crap.

Going to make egg cups tomorrow... butter a muffin tin, line each cup with a slice of ham so it goes up the sides and makes a cup, break an egg into it, top with cheese, and bake until done.

Would like more info on this. What is the temperature of oven? How long do you bake these? Is it difficult removing them from the muffin pans after baking? Thanks

Two eggs over easy in coconut oil and/or butter
8 Kalamata olives (La Mezzetta brand from Smart & Final -the BEST I've ever fount).
Double Espresso with 3 tbsp of heavy cream and 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil, blasted with the steam wand.
One slice low-carb toast with:
- lots of butter (as much as it can absorb)
- peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 tbsp "spreadable" heavy cream
1 - 2 cubic inches high-fat cheese like Kiri, Laughing Cow, Brie, etc.

Same thing every day. I never get tired of it.

On weekends I have 3 or 4 eggs instead and make them into an omelet with hot green papers, onions and lots of grated Mexican cheese.

Mmmm.

Oooo... I think I need to add olives back into my diet. I keep forgetting about those! And pickles!

No Salim, I'm in the US same as you . . . presently in south-central Missouri, but was a young adult in central Nebraska where this thick cream was found. My then in-laws lived in a rural environment called Dale Valley, and my assumption at the time was that the cream came from one of their neighbors who kept dairy cows. These were farming families with few monetary resources, but very rich in the basics like very thick unpasteurized non-homogenized cream! :D

Shanny, you can probably find a few sources of raw milk in your area and find your cream there :) I've been toying with the idea of switching over to raw milk...we just don't use milk that much in general in the first place.

Made egg cups today... chopped up ham and shredded cheese, put it in muffin tins greased with butter, then poured beaten eggs over it, baked... they taste good, but they stuck pretty bad to the pan.

Lord I hate it when stuff sticks in the muffin tins! ;)

There's a dairy over in Newburg, I think, that sells in this area & as far east as St. Louis . . . Greenwood I think is the name. The prices are way out of our reach, but still - it's a relief to know they're there, in case we win the lottery someday! (don't anyone tell me we'd have to buy a ticket first . . . :D)

This morning was two hard boiled eggs left over from salads last night. Not very exciting, but my digestive system is off a bit lately :( Thought I would take it easy on what I put in it. Actually, not feeling all that great today. Hopefully I'm not catching any viruses or anything. Hoping it's just a fluke and I'll feel better tomorrow. Yes please?

Hey Shanny, I have to mention we went to Branson, MO for vacation this year (I have a niece that lives there) and we took the scenic railroad through the Ozark Mountains. My Dad's family was born and raised in the Ozarks, and I probably still have family living there, but don't really know where or who they are. My Dad was telling us about his childhood and visiting aunts and uncles and cousins who were down right dirt poor, but said it was the greatest memories he has from his childhood. He said they had so much fun when they went to visit because they had to make fun out of whatever could be found. My Dad did not have that great of an upbringing (he and his brothers spent several years in foster homes, but his Dad would take them on the weekends and of course vacations, when he could). It makes me happy to hear my Dad talk of good times from his past, even those spent in a very rural area with no real fancy stuff at all; just his family and their love. Makes me smile :)

Where we live it's still a lot that way - we live on a dirt road way out in the boondocks & there's definitely no fancy stuff in THIS county! It's the home of Ft. Leonard Wood, but we don't even get to count the wealth of that installation as part of the county.

My everlovin' was brought to this area by his grandfather when he was a child back in the late 30s/early 40s - they stayed with relatives on the banks of the Gasconade River & went fishing every day. When we were married forty-five years after those fishing trips, he went looking to find if that river was a reality or a figment of his imagination. He found the river and he found an old fishing lodge with a for sale sign in the front yard. The rest is history.

Lol..certainly nothing fancy about the ozarks. We'll probably move back some day...although we have talked of staying here cause hubby could easily get hired at Boeing...but the in laws are getting older and will some day need help with the farm
