[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1203486, member: 32394"] [USER=97703]@latvianchick[/USER] are you sure your 2 slices of whole meal bread work out at 40g of carbs? Do you have a spread or anything on it? It's just, that sounds a lot higher than what I normally see on package labels (normally around 12-15g per slice), you have said you struggle with numbers and nutritional labels are difficult to navigate for everyone. Would you mind confirming the brand of bread so that we could double check for you? So you are looking for a 40g carb breakfast? I was going to suggest cereal - 40g all bran + 125ml skimmed milk = 26g carbs (it sounds horrible, but stick it in the microwave for a minute or two it turns into porridge). Then slice a small banana (~20g carbs) on top and it becomes a tasty, healthy 46g carb breakfast. It makes for a quick, controlled peak and a nice flat line, I think it's something to do with th high fibre content... Or, if you are bored of cereal & toast and want something savoury how about something like a Spanish omelet - boiled potatoes, chorizo, onion, sweetcorn, spinach, cheese and egg - could easily amount to 40g of carbs - you could chop and pre-portion the night before so that the veg came to 40g and in the morning all you have to do is pop in frying pan and pour beaten egg over the top to make the Spanish omelet.
