Early Out Morning

Morning ideas:

 Plain full fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with some SF jam mixed in and fresh berries on top.  Omelets, breakfast fajitas (egg, sausage, salsa, guac, sour cream, cheese rolled up in a low carb tortilla), an "eggs benedict" without the english muffin (just use the ham as the muffin part), I would bet there are some low carb crepe recipes on the web somewhere.  Crepes are so thin and you can make them savory instead of sweet- fill them with goat cheese, leftover meats, spinach, mushrooms, ect.  Or make them sweet by using ricotta or mascarpone cheese mixed with SF jam and cream cheese then stuff and top with berries.  Breakfast casseroles are always great and will freeze into portions and reheat well- make em with eggs, loads of cheese and sausage or little bits of bacon or ham.  Also, frittatas, or crustless quiche.  Ricotta pancakes with sausages in them for "pigs in a blanket".  Lox and cream cheese with all the fixins on a low carb tortilla, or just eaten with a fork.  

My go to "foods" during this time was sugar-free Popsicles, egg drop soup, cream soups, pudding, beef broth, babybel cheese, and peanut butter out of a spoon.

2. I have always put my Champion Whey in either cream/half and half and decaf coffee.

3. I have to say that I actually like the taste of my Champion Whey Chocolate protein powder.

I hope the eating get easier for you soon. Remember that liquids are the most important thing right now for you. That is why I liked Popsicles,broth, and cream soups--both food and liquid.

1. Other liquids you could have are jello, broth, creamed soups, tomato soup, Crystal Lite, popsicles (Sugar free), sugar free fudgesicles, mashed potatoes (which you have mentioned),.

2. I have started using Isopure zero carb unflavored protein powder. I 1/2 a scoop to my Crystal Lite and I added a big heaping sccop to 2 cups of homemade chicken broth. It doesn't change the flavor at all and as far as I can tell it doesn't smell either. I onlyh put 1/2 a scoop in the Crystal Lite because it a full scoop changes the texture slightly to something a bit creamy. Since I'm sensitive to textures of foods I really didn't want that but using just 1/2 a scoop doesn't seem to change the texture at all.

The unflavored protein powder I have can be ordered at GNC or if you have a GNC in your area you might want to call to make sure that they have it in stock since I found that many of the GNC's in our area didn't have it.

Also, I don't think I would add protein to mashed potatoes, but you could add it to broth, or soup, such as tomato. Add it to liquid when the product is cold because for some reason adding it to hot food makes it clump.

3. I don't know of any chews, but there are protein bars out there that are somewhat low in carbs. Try Atkins bars for some variety when you get to that stage.
