GD - Breakfast idea's

in High-Risk Pregnancy
I just found out that I failed my 1 hour GTT.  My OB said because I failed by quite a bit and because I passed my 3 hour glucose in my last pregnancy by 1 point, I need to start following a diabetic diet.  I am having a 3 hour GTT but the earliest I can schedule it is next Tuesday.  Until I have my 3 hour my insurance won't cover a nutritionist.  I was hoping you guys could help me with some breakfast ideas.  I am really hungry when I wake up in the morning so I need more than a peice of bread and peanut butter.  I don't really like eggs but other than that I am not picky.  What do you eat for breakfast?

    Lately for me 1C cottage cheese and a slice of 15g bread has been working. This is my lazy breakfast.

    Usually I do 2 eggs with turkey (cooked in the pan before the eggs so it gets a little crispy) with cheese and a slice of bread. I know you said you don't like eggs, but with the cheese and turkey, the eggs do get a little lost.

    There are also some tofu scrambles with veggies that you can do that have worked for me, but I'm not a huge tofu fan to begin with so I gave that up pretty fast.

    The main thing is to combine carbs with a protein.  You need to make sure you are getting enough carbs (so 1 piece of bread with peanut butter wouldn't be enough anyway).  I started off with 30 g. of carbs in the morning.  My numbers have been good so I'm allowed to go up to 45 carbs for breakfast if I want.

    This morning, I had oatmeal which was 27 carbs.  Then you'd just have to add a protein (scrambled eggs, peanut butter, cheese, etc.).  For awhile, I was making an egg sandwich with 2 pieces of low carb bread (18 carbs) with a slice of cheese and one egg.  Then I'd add some fruit on the side.  Some people can't do fruit in morning, though.

    I only got 15-20 carbs for breakfast, so I usually had half of a whole wheat English muffing with a sausage patty or ham and slice of cheese. Sometimes I did an egg scramble with cheese, veggies and ham.

    Here are a few that have worked for me.  I'm only allowed 15g carbs in the morning. 

    Half an english muffin w/ peanut butter, bacon, scrambled egg, and a glass of milk. ( i even tried this one with the whole muffin and did fine)

    Oatmeal, mixed fruit, glass of milk. (Can get this at Chick-fil-a if your needing something on the road)

    For eating out: a McDonald's sausage egg and cheese McMuffin with only half the english muffin.

    How many carbs are you allowed in the morning?  Everyone is different.  I saw someone else on here who is allowed 30 carbs for breakfast but I am allowed 15-20. I usually have 1 peice of whole wheat toast w/ 2 eggs and cheese and sometimes ham on top.  I'll also have cottage cheese and an apple or banana.  Protein with carbs are the best combo to not make your blood sugar spike.

    My "go to" hearty breakfast is a bowl of low sugar oatmeal with a big tablespoon of peanut butter in it.  I just recently had to switch from making my oatmeal with milk to water (the milk had too many carbs for me).  It's actually really good.  I usually save eggs for lunch or dinner.

    I always eat a packet of high fiber oatmeal (Quaker high fiber maple & brown sugar) and a breakfast meat of some sort - turkey bacon, sausage, etc. Something with protein. I am allergic to eggs, so that's not an option for me. I'm allowed 30 g carbs for breakfast.

    I made these over the weekend and they are super yummy!

    (sorry, not clicky on a mac)

    You could eat two of these with some peanut butter smeared on them for extra protein. Might be a nice change from plain toast or english muffins. They seriously tasted like dessert!

    I am allowed 30 carbs for breakfast so I eat half a bagel with cream cheese  and 3 slices of bacon for protein.  I am opposite of you and are pretty picky so my food choices aren't very big.  I also will have 1 waffle or 5 mini pancakes just to break up breakfast choices.  They told me no fruit or milk at breakfast.  You might be able to have 2 waffles because that would be your 30 carbs they only told me 1 because sometimes in the morning my fasting number is close to 95.  Good luck to you.

    I had breakfast tacos....eggs and turkey on corn tortillas. On days when I was rushed, I would have half a bagel and a string cheese.

    I have a slice of bread and pb with a teeny tiny bit of jelly.  Or I have a tortilla and melt cheese on it with salsa.  On weekends eggs are fine as well.
