Though there are surely other savory options for those who like them early morning, there are sweet "low carb" items. Beyond Atkins type products, you can homemake low carb sweet options. Low carb ricotta or cottage cheese based options with or without nuts and berries come to mind. I even ate low carb cheesecake for breakfast. I didn't mind sugar substitutes, like Stevia or even sugar alcohols, so that gave me many options.

I do not believe I could ever go below 40 g net carbs without being severely miserable. If you need to stay in or below that range, I don't have any suggestions.
No I am allowing myself 100g carbs a day. I tried super low carb a couple of years ago and even though I lost weight it was miserable, as you said. Not a sustainable lifestyle. So I gained all the weight back plus ten more pounds. This time I’m doing better. So far lol.

I remembered a cream cheese pancake recipe I made a few times when I was super low carb. They were really good paired with sugar free syrup! Plus I have plain yogurt and berries.
