So I've been on Adam's Diet for a few weeks now, and I'm starting to tire of eating eggs everyday for breakfast. Does anyone else recommend anything different? I'm looking for a low carb option, simply because I prefer to save my carb meal for after my workout. Thanks in advance for sharing.

I have made ham and cheese rolls before when I got tired of eggs.
I also sometimes put some cold cuts in the pan before I put the eggs in, add some grated cheese, then when it starts to sizze you can add your eggs or egg whites. I use dried oregano or basil to sprinkle on top, and voila...
Another option is scrambled eggs with feta cheese and tomatoes...
Of course leftover chicken breasts (or any meat) from the night before with some cheese melted in the microwave, bacon and some steamed veggies also isn't a bad idea.
Most often I have a lb of full fat plain yogurt with flax seed and coconut flakes in it + protein powder. Makes a nice breakfast, it's not eggs and it keeps you full for a few hours. You also get some of the good bacteria from the yogurt.
hope you can feed on some of these ideas

I like to have broiled tomatoes.

Start oven on broil (leave oven door open a crack)

Slice a tomato thick about 1/2" slices

Place some aluminum foil over a cookie sheet and spray with Pam or similar.

Top tomatoes with meat of choice (ham, bacon, turkey, etc..) Lunchmeat works fine.

Top off with favorite cheese. I like sharp cheddar or parmesan.

Place under broiler and watch. Remove after cheese starts bubbling and turning brown.

You can add other veggies (onion slices/asparagus)and also spice it up. I like tabasco on the ham a cheddars.

Hope this helps!

In addition, another idea that I believe fits into the diet is to mix your yogurt with cottage Cheese. This is the only way that I can eat the stuff. I also have been using my two fruits in the morning. It is easier for you body to digest and is a great kick-start to the metabolism.

Yogurt contains carbs (much more than CC), which would probably cause an insulin spike. I have been cutting out yogurt completely since I'm on the diet.

But the ham and cheese idea is a pretty good idea, I think I'm going to have to give that a try.

Actually yogurt contains very few carbs, and because the amount of carbs is calculated "by difference", and since bacteria eat a bunch of it to make lactic acid (which there is plenty of in plain organic yogurt), you can divide the number in two and be safe with it.
There is a good link about it:
