[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2130839, member: 355878"] Sorry but all your choices are high in carbs - and choosing low fat is not a good idea - first that usually ups the carbs, but you need fat - your baby needs it for growing brain and nervous system, you need to lay down reserves for breastfeeding - assuming that you are going to do that. I make scrambled eggs with grated cheese stirred in just at the end of cooking, with a thinly sliced tomato on the top and the plate over the top to warm it through as the cheese melts. For breakfast I have a proper meal, with protein and fat - tuna salad for instance, or salad with eggs and cheese - even a sir fry with leftover meat or fish cold from dinner the previous day. Roasted chicken thighs with crispy skin are a favourite, done on a rack with mushrooms and other veges underneath in the tray. Bread can be a problem, but I have found that Livlife with each, admittedly small, slice only 4 gm of carbs, but full of seeds, is a good choice. For sandwiches I put a lettuce leaf top and bottom to hold in the filling as there are holes it can escape through. [/QUOTE]
