Breakfasts are hard

This low carb thing requires I eat breakfast. I am not a breakfast person, but have learned that I have to be. It does make a difference. All that "it's the most important meal of the day" I think is kinda true.

What makes breakfast hard for me is I'm not an egg fan. I've had to come up with other alternatives.  But what makes it easy for me is I could eat cold pizza for breakfast....in other words, traditional breakfast foods are not required for my breakfast.

So I thought it might be worth dropping a few "recipes" of what I've done for breakfasts.

Bento Boxes
My favorite has been my "Bento Box Breakfast". You see them at Starbucks all the time and those are pricy, but they're easy to make. I bought myself some "bento" lunch boxes on Amazon and use them for  my breakfasts.

Ham Bento - Total Carbs - less than 3, protein around 20 grams
2 oz Black Forest Ham (or any ham you like)
1 hard boiled egg
1 oz hard cheese

I swap out ham with turkey or salami occasionally. Getting the hard boiled egg down is always a struggle for me. I eat it first so I don't say "i'm full" and then not eat it.

I've also done bento boxes with salami, cucumber, cheese and almonds. You can do a combination of anything. The options are endless.

Ham/Cream cheese roll ups
2 oz black forest ham
1 to 2 Tablespoons cream cheese ( you can use the lower fat, but I don't bother)
I spread the cream cheese on the piece of ham and roll it up. It's surprisingly good. Sometimes I've put a green onion in the middle and roll it, but not that often.

Easy Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls
These were fantastic. I did egg "muffins" before, but they were too eggy. These turn out like muffin tops. I've made them with bacon as the protein and ham as the protein. I prefer the bacon. You could toss anything into these too: onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc.

My most recent favorite is these protein, cheese "burrito" rolls.  Mission has carb friendly (I think they're called Carb Balance) tortillas. The wheat tortillas are 13 grams of carbs, but 10 grams of fiber per tortilla - which means it's 3 grams net carbs (carbs minus fiber). I've been taking those and slathering with a combo of mayo and mustard, putting 2 oz ham (or turkey) and 2 oz swiss cheese and roll those babies as a burrito. These have been the perfect breakfast so far.

There are a ton of blogs with Keto friendly, low carb recipes. Again, I'm not doing Keto, but their recipes are exactly what I needed to get this moving forward.
