How's it different, exactly? Depending on the quality, the peanut butter you get from a jar is basically pure milled peanut. Options on why the type used in fillings might be different include corn syrup, extra oil, sugar or any combination thereof being blended in during the milling process.

[timferius]

Copious amounts of sugar sounds about right. Would explain the grittier texture too. Just make peanutbutter cookie dough and eat that.

Actual soybeans. This exact can, in fact:

try making tofu or soy sause

I don't do much cooking (sadly) and as such rarely have anything to contribute to this thread, but I gotta say: I'm not sure if I'll be able to go back to drinking coffee with boring old milk after this trip. Lactose-free French vanilla coffee creamer is where it's at.

What's a good low-carb vegetarian breakfast? I can't find anything that isn't disgusting or time-consuming.

[Helgoland]

Coffee. Or beer, maybe. Milk is also a good choice.

[Yoink]

Maybe light beer.

* Yoink doesn't know much about carbs... not the kind found in foodstuffs, anyway.

Yoghurt and fruit.

Coffee. Or beer, maybe. Milk is also a good choice.

I've done the coffee-for-breakfast gig more times than I care to admit, but I'm not sure it's healthy.

Yogurt and fruit makes me feel very hungry an hour later. Plus, it's a bad idea to eat fructose without carbs, and I'm not eating carbs so it's kind of a Catch-22.

Wait, now it's unhealthy to pick up and eat an apple without carbs too? That sounds like something that was devised to sell more bread.

Also... fructose is a carbohydrate.

Eggs. Fried, boiled, poached, scrambled, whatever. Zero carbs in themself, half-and-half saturated and unsaturated fat and a ton of proteins.

[hops]

Eggs aren't vegetarian but ok I'm more of a pescatarian anyways.

What I meant is that fructose is digested rapidly in the body, which is good if you're an athlete, but not if you want breakfast.

[Yoink]

Eggs are vegetarian. It's vegans who don't eat them.
Unless you're referring to some weird dish involving fertilised eggs...

And doesn't pescetarian just mean you still eat fish?

[Neonivek]

Eggs are one of the foods that can be considered or not to be vegetarian.

It is milk and honey that are always vegetarian.

Alright, then I'm kinda confused about what your goal here, food-wise, is, because depending on what you're going for low-carb-wise, the things to look for are completely different if you're looking low on simple carbs (i.e. sugars), low on complex carbs (i.e. what nutrition data calls carbs), or low on both.

You need the energy from something, so cutting out any sugars whatsoevers as much as possible means what you're left with is fat and protein, and with the limitation of being vegetarian, the only way to get the latter is eggs, already mentioned and maybe not-vegetarian, cheeses, which you would have to eat on their own, or stuff like beans, which are carb-rich as well as protein-rich. Or basically pure fat. Or cheating and going with essentially flavored water (vis coffee, milk) which is hardly a meal.

That said, cottage cheese might be a good pick. Easy and quick to make, can be eaten on its own, keeps you going for a while, and is easily customizable (chives or onions are a nice option), as well as vegetarian.
