Hi I recently read a post regarding lo carb breakfast (can't find it) and it gave a recipe which included chai seeds/flaxseed /coconut /porridge /flaked almonds/yogurt/blueberries. I have made it a few times and liked it but the portion is huge and wondered if this was indeed low carb ...thank you
 
Just a quick mention .... not everyone can handle porridge.
I can if it has a spoonful of coconut oil in it otherwise not.
I'm T2

You could measure and calculate the weight and number of carbs in each ingredient and total them all up to find the carb content and weight for your whole portion, and either reduce the portion size, or split the ingredients into two portions and save one. Halving the quantity halves the carbs. :D If you don't want to do all the maths, just divide the mix in half, eat one and keep the other half in the fridge for next time. You could possibly just do the initial preparation with the dry ingredients, split this up and add the yoghurt and berries later, depending on how recipe's actually prepared.

Have you tested before and 2 hours after eating this to see what effect it actually has on your glucose levels?
