high protein breakfast ideas



Recommended Posts

Ok Ive been eating 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white and turkey sausage. I know im not supposed to eat eggs everyday but im having trouble finding other Breakfast ideas that keep me feeling full. Im not a huge yogurt fan but i do like cottage cheese. I wouldn't want it alone just for breakfast but i Cant think of a whole lot of things to eat that have high Protein. I like malt o meal and oatmeal but they Dont have a lot of protein either. Im kind of stuck i guess. any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Also im trying to limit my carb intake to only having bread/pasta once a day. I know basically everything has carbs but im tying to slowly limit mine!

If you get the quaker oatmeal weight control it does have 7 grams of Protein in it. Cottage cheese, I eat eggs everyday and my cholesterol is fine. You can eat hummus, couscous, I also eat black bean casserole for breakfast which is good. Recipes.com has tons of protein meals. You don't always have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.

Dont forget there is no rule that says you have to eat breakfast foods.

I have been unable to eat anything solid first thing in the morning for quite some time now.....gets better as the day goes on....

So, for about 18 months, I make a high Protein smoothie every morning....

Starting with 100% whey, for 25gm protein....

To this I had 15gm pure liquid Protein.....(medical grade)

For flavor I add anything from mixed berries, pineapple, mango, banana, Peanut Butter, chocolate, coffee, just about anything you imagination can conjure...

Mix it all in a blender with either Water or skim milk, and a ice cube or two....

I also add a non-thickening Fiber supplement.......

So I start the day with 40gm Protein, manageable calories, etc.....and ENERGY and NO HUNGER throughout the day....

I cannot imagine food I could eat to match that...IF I were able to eat i the morning....

The gym I go to 5 days a week also has a "juice Bar" where they make recovery shakes - smoothies.....

I'm not a big breakfast person, Monday-Friday while getting ready for work, so I stick to 1 cup coffee black and 1 costco Protein shake. Seems to hold me until lunch time, 90% of the time. Then at work in my office I obtained permission to purchase a small college dorm refridgerator and I stock it with Protein shakes, SF jello's, Apple sauce and Nonfat Greek yogurt. A nice supply of Crystal lights in a cabinet, lite oatmeal individuals and SF popsicles that I freeze a couple overnight.

Best wishes

Google dr oz and eggs.

Also you can use egg whites or I think the egg beaters are good. You have many choices besides shakes for breakfast. If you don't need a shake you will be better eating solids. Most who do shakes in the morning are tight or in a hurry

I say go with the oatmeal and add a scoop of the UNflavored UNJury; it is a big jump start to have breakfast and Protein ~ seems to work for me :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
