Breakfast ideas when you're egg "intolerant"

[daisymommy]

I need some breakfast ideas that don't revolve around eggs. I am "baby stepping" into TF and I keep reading that we should go light on the carbs. and more heavily on fats and proteins. it seems that eggs and bacon are highly recommended for breakfast.

Unfortunately, if I eat cooked eggs (scrambled, boiled, fried) rather than "hidden" eggs such as baked into pancakes or muffins, I get really sick all day long with digestive problems This is even with really good quality pastured eggs.

So, what's a girl to do? I am used to eating pancakes, muffins, biscuits, cereal....all carbs for breakfast.

Do you think if I eat them soaked, made from whole grains, along with milk (for fat and protein) that it's okay, as long as my other two meals of the deal are full of protein and fats?

I find that a really "good" bowl of oatmeal provides me the same fullness/basic needs as my egg breakfasts. I am not however someone who crashes after eating carbs or sugar so thats part of it.
I buy the organic whole oats and then take whatever serving sive I am making and replace the water with apple juice. Throw in whatever dried fruit I have on hand and then bring to a boil. add oats cook until "cooked" and then dish myself up a serving. I add a spoon of butter, a bunch of whatever nuts I have on hand and milk mixed in to "cool" it down. (plus for the benefits of having the milk) I know people who mix nut butters into oatmeals and other tricky way to add the protein and fat (this is the part that fills me up)
not every meal of my day is 100% fat and protein and "tf". I think for me its that I find ways to add the fat and protein to every meal (like if I eat fruit for a snack like an apple I dip it into peanut butter). The fat and protein help slow the absorbtion of the carbs and make me feel sated for longer...
Sorry if im rambling im sick and crazy today!

We are grain, dairy, soy, and egg free, so we have meat and veggies for breakfast & fruit for morning snack. Bacon, sausage patties or links, ham, porks chops, we are usually having pig for breakfast. I do lots of greens with breakfast, or leftover roasted veggies, or pan fries, etc. Sometimes I make almond flour baked goods for breakfast, but it is difficult without eggs. I do have a yummy almond flour scone recipe that works well with flax goop as an egg replacer.
Before we were grain free, I enjoyed buckwheat pancakes for breakfast. They turned out just fine with flax goop egg replacer.

We are to egg free at least me, dd will be soon, it makes breakfast hard right!!! I have no ideas tho so I'm glad to see this thread!

we eat fermented oatmeal with milk or cream or yogurt and raisins and a natural sweetner almost every day that we eat breakfast. eggs make a cheap dinner and an expensive breakfast.

for special occasions we also like sausages/sausage patties, we'd eat bacon if we could, etc.

mostly though, breakfast is oatmeal with dairy.

sometimes soup sounds good for breakfast, though it's usually to much work to make for my nightowl self.

breakfast

in my country breakfast means cheese, which is quite high in fat and protein.
i also like to add wallnut and sesame to my cheese, pepper, green vegetables,
olive, sometimes kefir. (tastes too much like cheese but still i like it)

There are a number of porridges that you can make -- millet porridge and a quinoa "pudding" come to mind.

The other thing that works is to do other foods for breakfast that aren't necessarily considered breakfast foods.

How about a liquid breakfast now that the weather is getting warmer?

I like preparing a smoothie using whey protein powder (Mercola's new protein powders - the ones with the different flavours like PB, bluebbery etc. - are really delicious and are made with grass-fed raw milk), almond milk and various seeds and/or nut butters. My DH likes adding fruit to his soothie but I prefer to have them on the side with some nuts.

I like to keep my expensive eggs for lunch as well, and as I'm currently seven months pregnant I cannot even smell meat or fish before the pm!

I also prepare oatmeal with coconut milk and coconut oil, I add dry fruit and nuts and serve it with a bit of raw honey.

I add full fat coconut milk to my oatmeal every morning. It is soooo good with cinnamon and raisins!

I really like quinoa porridge. Just cook half a cup quinoa in some water, salt, cinnamon, diced apple or smashed banana, and coconut milk or milk, whatever...butter or coconut oil if you want. It really is very yummy.

subbing since we are egg free.

And adding that we eat teff or amaranth porridge with berries, or gluten free sourdough pancakes, lentil soup, green smoothies, fruit and nuts (and an early lunch since this isn't very filling), or sweet potatoes.

That sounds great!

It's really good! And my kids don't like it but what I do is take half of it, mix in 1 egg and fry them in mini pancakes. If I cook 3/4 cup quinoa, I eat half the pot and it turns in to 2 little cakes for each of them. I make it a little thick, then add cold milk to mine, and a couple ice cubes to theirs to cool it down a little and mix in the egg. This pretty much goes for any type of porridge I make myself, because they totally do'nt like any kind of it in a bowl.

Thanks all! Glad to know I am doing okay if we eat something other than eggs! LOL!

During the last while, I've had the same problem with digestive upset if I eat eggs as they are. If I hide them, I'm okay. If I don't eat them at all, I also feel bad, so I've been making a very simplified egg drop soup in bone broth for breakfast (broth, eggs, green onions, salt, pepper and a big pat of butter in each bowl- that's it). The eggs are whipped in so that they are really spread out and make the broth seem creamy. With the broth, I feel great after eating eggs.

As a plus, my dc absolutely flip over the egg drop soup! They love it, and it is surprisingly filling and also makes it easy to get two or more eggs into them first thing in the morning, and their energy and mood is greatly impacted. I do things to keep it fun too- adding shredded raw cheese, toasting sprouted bread slathered with butter for dipping, etc....

I also eat a dish of soaked oats with raisins, and eggs mixed in before baking. Then we cut it into squares and serve it with butter and raw honey; it's delicious and I feel great having enough protein and my yolks for the day as well (I use a lot of eggs in the oats). This is now that I can tolerate the carbs again... Sheesh, what's with this pg???

I've also done some days with eating just the yolks because I didn't have broth ready or any oats soaked; of course that did nothing for my protein need. In doing that, I confirmed what I had intuited- that it's the whites that are bothering me if they are left intact; the yolks I could eat a dozen at a time and feel fine.

It's here (just don't follow her directions for flax goop if you need it, it should be 1 part flax to 3 parts water):
