Not for everyone. I’m sure the OP has reasons.



I like low carb protein shakes. I make them myself but I keep Atkins French vanilla for when I have to run out quickly.

Vegetable soup! Use whatever veggies you like. Example: https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/wei...ss-magic-soup/

Any kind of broth or soup you like, yogurt, berries, melon, sliced cucumber, sliced tomatoes, vegetable stir fry in oil or butter, nuts, avocado with lemon juice or sour cream, a cup of coffee with cream, canned smoked fish or any kind of fish you like. Plain lightly salted rice cakes are only 7 g apiece, and you can spread some butter or peanut butter on that and have it with a cup of tea or coffee.

My favorite breakfast is a smoothie made from non fat Greek yogurt, a tbsp of almond butter, a sprinkling of walnuts, a few dashes of turmeric, a squirt of honey (but you could use stevia - I'm not a purist - LOL), and a splash of milk or water. YUM. I feel like I'm having a DQ blizzard and it's super bad - except it's not!

You may want to compare the low fat to the whole milk yogurt. The lowest and healthiest IMO is the greek whole milk yogurt. I like it with berries such as strawberries and some kind of fiber. Since I don't do regular granola, I add flax meal or Psyllium Husk for a nutty and crunchy texture.

YMMV of course and the labels tell the whole story.

Typical Carb Counts for Plain Yogurt
A 6-ounce serving of plain yogurt contains these typical carb counts:

Whole milk Greek yogurt: 7 grams of carbohydrate
Whole milk yogurt: 8 grams of carbohydrate.
Low-fat yogurt: 12 grams of carbohydrate
Nonfat or skim milk yogurt: 13 grams of carbohydrate

Someone told me about that chia pudding mentioned previously. I soaked the chia seeds overnight in almond milk and, in the morning I added chopped nuts and cold almond milk. It was pretty good, like a pudding.

Another breakfast I make is from bone broth. I just take a chicken carcass and put it into the slow cooker overnight and the next day. Then there's broth for breakfast and I can add chopped chicken or vegetables. Sometime you might want to make miso soup out of it using dried seaweed (it's expensive but lasts forever) and a bit of miso.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Non fat usually translates to high carb. I avoid all non/low fat items for that very reason.

I just read the label.

So do I. That's how I've noticed that non/low fat equates to high carb.

Well my fat free yogurt has 7 g carbs. That's not too high for most people.

I do prefer full fat, grass fed greek yogurt, but Costco doesn't carry that and it is more than double the cost, so it's a treat.
