Some Low G.I. Breakfast Solutions
Here are some ideas from The Good Carb Cookbook: Secrets to Eating Low on the Glycemic Index.  While it may specify egg substitute or omega-3-enriched eggs, I just use regular eggs.  I wouldn't even know where to find an omega-3-enriched egg.

* Whole-grain pumpernickel toast topped with melted low-fat cheese; apple.

* A small whole-grain bagel or pumpernickel toast topped with light cream cheese and smoked salmon; fresh mixed fruit cup.
