low carb breakfast ?

Placebo

What would be a good breakfast, i cant eat cereal as i have to avoid High GI, i got on the all bran buzz for a while, hate it now.
Cant find O haras low gi bread anywhere these days

suggestions?

Leon11

eggs with spinach, cheese
chicken fillets

g'em

Every morning I eat two whole eggs scrambled with a little bit of grated cheese and some peanut/ almond oil. Yum. And it keeps me fuller for longer than porridge and cereal ever does.

Porridge porridge porridge! Low GI and keeps you full for ages. Add a little honey or salt if you need.

The word "cereal" has sadly become bastardized to mean junk food to a lot of people, the likes of sugar puffs that are almost 50% sugar etc.

Cereal to me is unsweetened pure grains, which is usually low GI. I eat porridge oats and cold milk with some whey mixed in.

I also liquidise oats, milk & and egg, and make pancakes with it.

Vegeta

eggs and some steamed mixed veg

The other 50% being puffs? thank you, I'll be here all week!

For breakfast this morning I'd:
homemade burger patty
an orange
some hazelnuts

delish man!

I'd love to freak out my flatmate some morning by cranking up the cooker and frying a big fat steak with eggs....

Might even pop the cork on a bottle of wine for maximum effect

I'll usually have either porridge with honey and a protein shake or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and some McCambridges brown bread. Usually a glass of cranberry juice too!

Bowl of muesli and a boiled egg for myself.

If you're gonna take on carbs, breakfast is the time to do it - when you need them for the day. Porridge and eggs (not together :eek:) are perfect IMO.

Looked at a Squeeze carton of cranberry juice there over xmas and compared it to a bottle of coke. Cranberry juice hade more sugar. Nothing new to the informed here but heres where I get a little confused....

What type of sugar is in the coke (HFCS ??) and what type is in the cranberry juice and do both trigger the same physiological response?

Placebo

hmm might get myself used to poridgge, any particular brand?


thanks for the replies folks !

Pj!

Flahavans is what I use mate, although can't be much difference (if any) in others.

Aye... now G'em (and a good few others) know waaaaaaay more, and I could be wrong, but I like the Flahavans Quick Oats (big tube). If I'm wrong and it's crappy, please correct me!

g'em

they're still better than Sugar Puffs!

The more processed the oats are, the higher the GI they'll be. Ideally go for rough-cut or steel cut oats.

you would think so, but there is some.
I get odlums or flanhavans, very similar nutritional info on the packs, oldums is a tiny bit cheap so I go for it. If you look at tesco brand ones they have less fibre, the tesco "value" ones have even less fibre. I expect they are processed to take out bran or something, and these oats are the leftovers, or processed to make those concentrated fibre supplements you can get. Also tesco "finest" oats are quite high in fat, around 9 or 10% compared to 5-6% in normal oats, probably "good" fat, but still strangely high.

If you check mushy pea info on the cans it is very low in fibre, I have no doubt the fibre is stripped out for supplements, and you are in effect eating processed waste material, and the bastards have the nerve to charge even more for it!


Some of the "microwave oats" are really expensive for no apparent reason too.

Raw eggs arent worth a cuss..ya need to cook em to get any nutritional benefit.

Where did you hear that? Surely raw egg white contains non-denatured protein, which is better for you? Would raw egg yolks not contain all the nutrients in their purest form?

nope, cooked eggs have higher bioavailability i.e. they are much easier for your body to use
