I make low carb granola at the weekend and take it to work every day. I use the Rose Elliot recipe which is online.
Also, Lidl high protein rolls make a decent breakie, better toasted.

eggs scrambled with some veg of your choice and grated cheese. Throw in a container and nuke at work. You can make it the night before. Also good is leftovers from last nights low carb dinner. Breakfast does not have to be traditional breakfast foods.

i currently eat a slice of ham (from the Deli in the supermarket) and a couple of cheese slices, then roll them up together and they're great. I don't get hungry until well after lunch time :)

One of these would be very easy to make at home, wrap up and eat at your convenience :)

I've found out I can tolerate half a red grapefruit so, when I'm eating breakfast, that is my current favourite.

Sometimes I'll have raspberries with greek yoghurt, eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, a Lidl roll bacon butty and - a real treat this - a visit to a Toby carvery for one of their really lush breakfast all you can eat buffets - just avoid the potato hash, yorkshire puds and toast.

If you need cold breakfast ideas then you could pre-cook some low carb sausages and bacon and make a breakfast type omlette the night before to eat hot or cold - same with crustless quiche.

You never know, you could be one of the lucky ones who can tolerate porridge - do a blood test before eating the porridge then again two hours after - I used to love porridge and muesli but doing that test put me off eating any kind of oat based meal completely.

Sausage can have as many carbs as porridge, plus some other bad fats

Depends which sausages you buy - Black Farmers, Heck, Tescos Finest, and some of the Lidl and Aldi brands are as little as 3% carbs, and not filled with those nasty veg oils.

I am sure there are lots of other brands out there too - but always check the label. :)

Asda do some nice low carb sausages - OH loves their chipolatas and - luckily - they don't affect my BG at all.

However there's such a thing as high percentage (e.g 95%) meat sausages! You just need to read the nutritional information and avoid the starchy stuffed ones.

Wow! My sausages have 1g carb per serving (2 sausages). I also make my own and freeze bunches sometimes--no sweetener, no filler, just meat & spices. (The carb comes from garlic/sundried tomato.)

Think outside the box.

Any low carb meal will be just as useful. I had stir-fry once, whilst waiting for groceries to be delivered.

I suggest yogurt with fresh fruit such as a half apple or pear with cinnamon sprinkled over it. Cottage with chopped fresh tomato and a small handful of almonds or walnuts again with a half a piece of fruit with cinnamon. My favorite is smoked salmon on a low card wrap with chopped tomato, arugula, capers and mustard. I have a small low sodium tomato drink with this as well as the half of fruit. Finally, I will take a third of a cup high fiber cereal, no milk and again the half piece of fruit. Hope this helps.
