Yes, as much as I like the challenge, I don't think it's beneficial to
focus on desserts and baking. I do need to think of something I can make

What's your current carb quota? At 50 grams per day it is easy to have
oatmeal for around 20 at breakfast. Every so often my wife makes a cup
of uncooked steel cut Irish oats into a big batch, cuts it into 4
portions and I have 4 breakfasts of it. It's easy to make the remaining
30 grams with low carb veggies and the half gram here and there that so
many items labeled as zero actually have.
I think you are speaking to two different people. The above is in
response to me. I have no set quota. Low. Probably not as low
as traditional Atkins induction but not as high as you are going.
I want to lose weight, but I am looking for a sustainable WOE,
so I am eating the less carby fruits and veggies. Here I am
debating about whether I want to use 1/4 c of oats in a recipe
that will produce 8-12 servings.
Sometimes I use a large spoonful of CarbQuik mixed into 10 eggs, with
western omelette stuff and shredded cheddar, underbake it a bit and Tom
warms up a square for breakfast that week.
Uh oh.... Carbquik is made from wheat.
I've seen wheat-free low-carb flour replacements occasionally at
specialty food stores. No idea what the stuff is made from and based on
the combination of "wheat free low carb" it's probably nasty. But the
stuff works fine in the rare caes I can find it. No if only there would
be a wheat free low carb tortilla no matter how nasty the obscure
ingredients ...
As much as I like eggs there's no need to have traditional American
breakfast ingredients at breakfast. Veggies, meat and cheese for
breakfast. Omlette for lunch. Yum.
