There's lots of recipes on this forum under breakfast ideas. Try grilled tomatoes topped with cheese. Probably leave out the seeds til you're out of induction. Currently, I have a bowl of linseed and cream and cheese and tomato for breakfast.

Atkins bake mix recipe can be found here:

I'm guessing you'll find most of those ingredients at a GNC or health food store.

I've been experimenting recently with LSA mix (linseed, sunflower seed and almond) ground up to make a sort of multigrain flour. Mix with an egg, a little butter and some splenda and baked.

Almond flour by itself is also a good substitute.

For breakfast, get creative. Why do you have to have traditional breakfast food?

I ate 2 hamburger patties (100% mince, no added carbs) with shredded cheese melted on them and a bit of Rosella diet tomato sauce this morning *YUM*

leftovers from the night before are good as well.

Eggs: quiches, add herbs, parmesan cheese. There is a recipe for a mock danish in the recipe forum which is really good. Make devilled eggs, add cayenne pepper (only a tiny tiny amount) for extra kick.

Or beat up an egg with a little bit of water, spread it out thin on a hot frying pan, cook, flip, cook, add a bit of cream cheese that you have beaten up with lemon extract and splenda to the middle and roll. Fabulous

Hi DJ
Have you tried scrambled eggs made with cream, and cooked in butter. They're really good and you get to feel self righteous while you eat them.

I tried that the other day and boy was it a yummy breakfast. It lasted me much longer too than the usual whisked up eggs cooked in butter.
