S - Asiago Cheese Omelet, Bacon, Mixed Berries

S Breakfast - Asiago cheese omelet, bacon, 1 cup of berries, and green tea.

S Because:
1) There are less than 10g of carbs in this meal.
2) It is high in protein and fats.
3) Bacon is my mail protein source.
4) Berries are awesome with an S meal. The suggested  serving size is one cup. Only 1/2 of that cup should be made up of blueberries due to the higher sugar content in them.
5) I used whole eggs. In an E meal, I would have only used the egg whites.
6) I had green tea with my breakfast, but you could have coffee and cream instead if you wanted to.

S - Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese, Tomato and Provolone Cheese, Lean Bacon, Ezekiel Toast

S Breakfast - Whole eggs scrambled with cottage cheese, provolone cheese and tomatoes, fat free pork bacon, green tea and one slice of Ezekiel toast.

When I posted this on the Facebook THM Beginner board, the ladies there helped figure out that this meal was an S Helper. That is because of the Ezekiel bread. If you want to keep this a straight S meal, just omit the toast. For the sake of this post, let's just pretend that the toast is not in the picture! LOL!

1) There are less than 10g of carbs. (Pretending the toast is not there)
2) I used full fat dairy with the cottage cheese and the provolone. I fried the eggs in butter.
3) I have some non-starchy veggies with the tomatoes
4) My protein source is my bacon. This is a lean bacon, because I had some that needed to be eaten,  but feel free to use regular bacon.
5) There is no sugar in this meal.
6) I had green tea to drink because I love it, but you could have coffee with real cream in it if you wanted to.

S - Cheese and Veggie Omelet, Bacon, Cottage Cheese and Strawberries

Veggie and cheese omelet, 2 slices of bacon, full fat cottage cheese, strawberries and green tea.
S Because:
1) There are less than 10g of carbs in this meal.
2) I used full fat dairy sources, like cheese and cottage cheese
3) My protein source is bacon. With an S meal, you can use any cut of meat, even the fattier ones like bacon. If there are carbs in your breakfast meat, it is likely off plan, as carbs would be coming from fillers.
4) There is no sugar in my meal.
5) There are lots non-starchy veggies in the omelet. (Spinach, peppers, onions)
6) Berries are the acceptable fruit for an S meal. Keep it under 1 cup. Blueberries can only make up 1/5 of that cup. (Blueberries are higher in sugar.)
7) I could have had coffee with full fat cream, but instead I chose green tea.
