Not sugar: As long as it is not sugar, there is little difference. The key to a healthy breakfast is to consume some healthy sarurated fat as found in eggs (boiled or poached, but not fried) and cheese. These healthy fats act like the "log on your metabolic fire" and keep your blood sugars stable for hours. Breat milk contains 55% saturated fats and is the perfect food for human babies.

Check caloric and: nutrition content of each food. But I would not try to eliminate all fat and carbs.

Ironically: if you reduce or eliminate junk carbs from your diet (& replace with healthy ones) - carb craving often starts to diminish in a short period of time. Take care.

Cereal.: I'll tackle breakfast...breakfast cereals can be a great source of energy building carbohydrates. Just make sure to have a cereal with a good amount of fiber per serving to make sure the carbohydrates are supplied throughout the morning, giving you sustained energy.

Could I still be pre-diabetic or have IFG if morning gluc numbers are ALWAYS normal (<90) after low carb dinner the night before? Is data relevant?

Yes, could still be: Hi. Prediabetes can be determined 3 ways: fasting serum glucose, serum glucose 2 hours after a 75 gram glucose challenge, and A1c. It is possible to have normal fasting glucose, yet meet diagnostic criteria for prediabetes by either of the other two means. Eat healthily and exercise regularly. Good luck!
