When you're following a low-carb diet, it can sometimes be a challenge to find meals with 15 grams or less of carbohydrates per serving—especially at the start of the day when grains and pastries are popular options. Just because you're following a low-carb plan doesn't mean you can't have any carbs, though. You just need to fill up on the right ones; complex carbs that take longer to digest, are higher in fiber, vitamins and minerals and are overall essential to any healthy eating plan (and healthy breakfast routine).
