If you are in a rush for time and just need something quick, have you
tried some of the low carb breakfast bars or protein shakes? There are
several available out there. I'm not much into breakfast foods so this
was a quick alternative since I needed something with meds & vitamins I
take in the morning or prepare at the office. Boiled eggs are great
too--lots of protein! If you do have PCOS and are taking Spiro or some
type of insulin sensitizer, be careful about grapefruit--there is a very
detailed warning on most Med-Checkers about a reaction with grapefruit.
It will also list foods to be aware of with certain meds. Hope some of
this helps. :-)
