Marla290 3 Posted October 26, 2011 I'm having such a difficult time getting in all the Protein I need, especially since I don't know what to eat for Breakfast. I can only do the shakes so often, sometimes I just want some food instead of a shake. Any ideas? What do you have for breakfast? Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corrigan 75 Posted October 26, 2011 I just had a bowl of Cream of Wheat with cut up dried fruit and a little margarine in it. Toast with Peanut Butter isn't too bad. Some folks eat Greek yogurt. There are several breakfast threads in the foods section. I'm not much of a dry Cereal eater, but a cheese danish would be good(joke). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn1214 120 Posted October 26, 2011 I've tried eggs a few different ways and they always make me sick, so I know how you feel! My favorite breakfast so far is a container of Greek yogurt with some Kashi Golean cereal mixed in. Lots of Protein and no tummyache afterwards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marla290 3 Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks, I will definitely try all of these EXCEPT for the cheese danish. LOL! I didn't know there was a food thread on here, I will check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy C 150 Posted October 26, 2011 I hate eggs. My band is usually tight in the morning so a Protein Shake or yogurt is all I eat.....plus two or three cups of coffee.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSORob 1 Posted October 27, 2011 Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles that I put in a frying pan (about a 1/2 cup), heat it up, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and melt. I then put some salsa on top of the semi sausage/cheeseburger patty to help things slide down. After eating and waiting about 15 minutes, I have 8-12 oz of a choc Protein Shake using Syntrax Nectar chocolate Truffle w/ skim milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimR915 21 Posted October 28, 2011 A couple of egg alternatives that I eat are: Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control (extra protein) made with a cup of 1% or skim milk or Greek Yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup of granola. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glowormvl 4 Posted October 28, 2011 I make a breakfast protien smoothie. I use 4 big scoops of yogurt, 2 large frozen strawberries, a third of a banana, a scoop of eas 100% whey protien powder i think 42 grams protien, 3 or 4 frozen crystal light ice cubes made of fruit punch, and some crystal light fruit punch juice to keep thinks runny. then i blend it all. You can not taste the protien. I also throw in my 2 vicoden since i can not swallow them. i can not take anything bigger than a tick tack. It makes a rather large size cup of yummy. It keeps me full for 2 to 3 hours even tho it does go right thru the band. i have only 1 fill and i do not have restriction. when i take my first break at work i eat 1 packet of oatmeal and a wedge of quiche i buy at the deli.

NYdad 21 Posted October 28, 2011 I eat greek yogurt mixed with granola and fruit-(sometimes) to thicken it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marla290 3 Posted October 29, 2011 Wow thanks guys, I've actually saved all these idea and I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow! Can't wait to try the turkey sausage with cheese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klariade 7 Posted October 29, 2011 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fruit mixed in is one of my favorites! I often have to eat breakfast on the go, so I mix in one of the dole fruit cups (they're 1/2 cup servings, so no measuring needed). Make sure you get the fruit in it's own juice, not in heavy Syrup.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
