Breakfasts on the run?

If he doesn't have time to eat, then tell him not to eat. Missing a few
meals won't hurt him.

What are some ideas for low-carb breakfasts on the run - induction and
otherwise?

My husband often doesn't have a lot of time to prepare something and eat
it in the morning. He prefers breakfasts he can eat in the car, as he
has a 45 minute commute anyways.

He's allergic to tree nuts so the prepared bars are out (although there
may be a nut-free one out there). I brought up the induction muffins
since I think that's a great idea for my breakfasts, but he told me that
he generally doesn't like baked egg dishes and it isn't something he
could eat one-handed.

I'm coming up blank for ideas, so anything y'all can throw my way would
be appreciated.

You could hard boil some eggs the night before, peel them and put them in a
tupperware container. And yes, you can sprinkle salt on them and eat them
while driving, but I just do it at red lights. Or he could get up 15
minutes earlier and eat them before he leaves. Once, out of desperation
when I was hungry but had to head out the door, I grabbed a chunk of cold
boiled ham and some napkins and ate that on the way to work, but I felt
like a gross disgusting pig, so I don't recommend that, lol.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

For post induction:
Breakfast burrito with an lc tortilla - can be filled with leftovers
from the night before or scrambled eggs, cheese and crumbled bacon
(made the night before then warmed in the morning) then wrapped in a
paper towel or a baggie for the drive...

A sweet burrito...plain lc tortilla spread with cream cheese, a light
dusting of cinnamon and splenda with a layer of thinly sliced
strawberries.

A wrap sandwich, a la Subway or Safeway but made at home. BTW...I get a
Safeway wrap and have it cut in half for use as 2 meals. I eat them for
breakfast or on the drive home...as long as it's held by a baggie!

My outta-time breakfast is a meat stick and a cheese stick from Costco!
(this one's ok for induction)

HTH!

Yum, that sounds easy. We get tortillas from Sam's Club with 5 or 6 net
carbs per tortilla, so post-induction that wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Oh that sounds absolutely delicious! If I had the ingredients, I'd run
and make one right now. LOL I'll have to figure out the carb count for
that.

Another good idea. I can also use this one for lunch.

Meat stick? Cheese stick? Please explain to someone who is cursed not
to live near a Costco (or a Trader Joe's or...) *SIGH*

The meat sticks are Oberto teriyaki sticks, 17.5 oz., in the snack
section.

The cheese is Precious brand, a couple of different types (cheddar and
mozzerella?), 1 oz., individually wrapped "sticks" in a 3 lb. package,
iirc, in the refrig section.

Thank you. That does sound like an idea. I'm fairly sure I can find
similar meat sticks (although I *hate* anything with the texture of Slim
Jims) and cheese sticks at Sam's Club.

I'm also toying with making my own jerky, once I find the dehydrator
that's hidden around here. Thanks again for the idea!

FYI, La Tortilla Factory makes tortillas that are 3 net carbs, and
they're available at Albertsons, Smith's, etc. They're pretty good, too.

Hardboiled eggs
bacon
cheese slices or sticks
ham slices
slim jims
jerky
vienna sausages
franks/weiners
sausage links
brats
raw broccoli and/or cauliflower cuts
cucumber slices
mushrooms
whole fresh berries
anything you use for finger foods any other time of day. Think outside the
breakfast box. (G)

Joanne,

Some italian mix herbs too would make hard boil eggs more interesting and the
extra potassium in them would reduce your chance of getting leg cramps.

lol, this reminds me of a few months ago. I had just taken a chicken out of
the oven, perfectly roasted, I was just getting ready to sit down and eat
and the phone rang. Had to take my brother to the hospital, he had a blown
out knee. We went to the small local hospital but their XRay Tech was out,
so we had to go to another hospital (1hr away). We stopped by the house,
grabbed the chicken and ate it on our way to the hospital. There was
chicken grease everywhere! I definately do not recommend it!
