GD Breakfast ideas?

WinsyWade

Any good GD breakfast ideas that stick to 30g of carbs and avoid milk/fruit? 

Is the milk just considering dairy milk, or can I do a small glass of almond milk?

All I can think of is eggs and a slice of toast.

I have 15 g carbs.

I have been having one piece if wheat toast and two eggs.

I have had some bacon instead of one of the eggs. I am thinking I buying some breakfast sausage.

Are veggies good?  Or are they a no-no?  I remember that I was told "anything that comes from the ground" is considered a carb/has carbs, but I thought veggies were less?

Same here eggs with whole wheat toast. And either sausage or bacon. Every morning. Getting boring

I do eggs, bacon, sausage, w.w toast, yogurts (the light and fit greek no fat 2x the protein yogurt) I recently switched because it has less carbs, more protein, and less sugar than the other brand I was eating, plus it's a bigger portion. You can also do whole wheat pancakes or waffles.

I went to my GD counselor yesterday and she said milk is a carb, and she suggested to do unsweetened almond milk, however; I am fine with my no fat milk as it doesn't have any effect on my numbers.

She also said veggies were "free" and I could basically eat as much as I wanted, except the starchy veggies like potatoes, corn, beans, ect.... I still need to portion those veggies out.

I am able to do fruit for my morning snack as long as I pair it with protein. I was originally told no fruit before noon, however I have played around with my food, and what times to eat them, and again, no effect on my numbers.

another thing she suggested for the morning is to have 3 egg whites, and one egg yolk, and make a veggie omelet. You can even add more protein like bacon, ham, sausage into the omelet. It will get you nice and full.

I was having some trouble staying full in the a.m. so she suggested that.

I also was told to stay away from oatmeal in the a.m. but I tried it out on Saturday, with whole wheat toast, an a glass of no fat milk. I put a little truvia in it to sweeten it up a tad and my numbers were great!! I think they were 97 at my one hour test.

I know some woman are pretty sensitive to certain foods in the a.m. so you gotta just play around with what works for you.

I have found that on the days I gave no time to make my usual egg whites, turkey bacon and wheat toast, I can get away with a mcdonalds egg mcmuffin.

I am always pressed for time in the am. I have been eating half a fiber one English muffin with peanut butter, cottage cheese, boiled eggs or mini bagels.

I think it all depends.

I typically have cereal and unsweetened almond milk. I typically eat Kashi Go Lean, All Bran, or Fiber One and my numbers are in the 80's.

I can use ff milk and eat a banana with cereal and still keep my number around 100.

I actually found for me eggs and ww toast dropped my numbers into the 60's. Go figure.

1 pc buttered whole grain toast and 2 pcs of bacon or yogurt.

I've been eating the same breakfast pretty much throughout my pregnancy - am currently 20 weeks - it's a Thomas bagel Thin with 1 tbsp peanut butter, and 2 tsp of low sugar preserve (smuckers makes a bunch of them), with a quarter cup of cottage cheese, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.  Extremely boring, but it keeps my numbers in check, so i can deal with it for another 20 weeks!

I was told that oatmeal, not instant, was good because it takeslonger to digest so the sugars were being released slower and over a longer period of time. Instant oatmeal often has sugars added and digests quicker so that is not recommended.

I ate oatmeal with the liquid caramel vanilla, my fav, coffee creamer and nothing else added as I found the coffee creamer adds enough sweetness without adding too much sugar.

Dh also fixed slices of ham for me to eat with my breakfast.
