the hope of having something to eat for breakfast on Atkins besides eggs finally convinced me to register. Hope you all can help!


Ok - 2nd try at a reply here. This newbie will get the hang of this eventually... If you are in Atkins induction this won't work for you but for anyone else it will. I like to make a quesadilla once in a while for breakfast. I found some great tortillas on the net - made by laTortilla Factory. They have 9 grams of carbs. But with the newest Atkins method of counting carbs they are only 3 net carbs each - the 9 minus 6 grams of fiber. So an entire quesadilla is only 6 carbs. They come in green onion, whole wheat and herb/garlic and some other flavors too, I think. They are a heavy tortilla but then I like bread that when you drop it on your foot it hurts. You can also use them to make tortilla chips, just cut them in wedges and fry them in olive oil or I guess you could deep fry them as well. Great with guacamole. There are lots of things you can eat for breakfast besides eggs. Previous nights left overs work for me sometimes... but then I have never been a picky eater ;)

Great ideas for breakfast AND snacks!! Recipe for the quesadilla, please?! (I'm a lousy cook - can't make anything without a recipe!) ;o)

You know, once we were able to adjust for the fiber, I found this way of eating a LOT easier. :-)
