Any ideas for a breakfast that does not include cereal or cooked food eg bacon, eggs etc. Also what fresh fruits contain the least amount of sugar. At the moment I am having cereal with Tesco sweetener and a few pieces of melon or grapes.

Most berries are lowish in carbs.
 
Hi. Avoid the sweeter melons and bananas. Generally berries are OK and so are things like apples and un-crushed oranges and grapefruit. I do have a small quantity of oats for breakfast but mixed with nuts, seeds and dried unsweetened in the form of mueseli.
 
Yoghurt - preferably greek or full fat version, unsweetened. With berries, chopped, roasted almonds or psyllium husk if you want. Should land on under 5g carb/100g yoghurt.

If the reason for no-eggs is a time constraint, you could make microwave scrambled eggs. Takes less time than your average tooth brushing session.

Almonds, nuts, seeds.

Cold leftovers if you have any - I love cold stir-fry in the morning - probably me being weird.

Boiled eggs would keep in fridge for several days.

There's a recipe around somewhere on the low-carb forum for a porridge with mainly almond flour and stuff - I wouldn't be surprised if that can be premade and microwave heated too.
 
I don't think I could manage seafood for breakfast :sick: and banana is probably the worst fruit for a diabetic, but otherwise I'm right there with you Harry :roll:

I had a protein shake, with Lactofree milk, almond porridge, bacon, egg and greek yoghurt with redcurrants for breakfast but then I'm pigging out as I have a cold. You can buy bags of frozen redcurrants/blackcurrants in the supermarket and I defrost a little at a time for adding to yoghurt.

Oh and I'm sprinking flax seed on everything at the moment..
