Favorite Breakfast Foods



Recommended Posts

So when it comes to Breakfast, I'm looking for quick, easy, "clean" and loaded with Protein. I used to do a Pure Protein Bars, but am looking for a cleaner option with similar amount of protein (20grams)

Any suggestions would be great!

Greek yogurt with a few fresh berries on top. Occasionally I'll add a half a scoop of Protein powder to my yogurt to bump up the Protein even more

I do yogurt or eggs a lot, but those don't have all the Protein you want. You could always eat the non traditional Breakfast foods like fish, chicken, etc

I have a "real food" Protein packed breakfast I love:

http://www.mnn.com/food/recipes/stories/spiced-lentils-with-arugula-and-fried-eggs

I tend to omit the arugula, but I usually do about 3/4 cup of the lentil mixture and one egg. This gives you about 225 calories and 21 grams of Protein.< /p>

To me, it has a similar to taste to Huevos Rancheros.

I buy the grilled chicken from Trader Joe's and just chop up 3 ounces in the morning. 90 calories, 0 carbs, 19 grams of Protein and it takes under 2 minutes to prepare. Hard to beat.

I eat deli turkey (2 oz) wrapped around a piece of low-fat cheddar and fruit (usually 1/4 cup blackberries and 1/4 cup blueberries but sometimes some apple slices). If I have time (and depending on my food plans for the day), I add a piece of whole grain toast. Every once in a while I will try the yogurt, but I seem to be not as satisfied, so it is not my usual go to.

Depending on how early I eat that day, I will have a Premier Protein for a morning snack (a couple of hours after breakfast).

I am always out the door B4 breakfast so must make and carry mine with me.

For quick gathering, I enjoy some mornings to have Cottage cheese with fruit and stevia, or even cheese for a more savory taste.

The mornings I go the gym B4 work and breakfast, I make and pack Protein shakes, and with all the different varieties I can think up to get Protein and carbs at right levels.

My favorite breakfast is oatmeal made with Water. Cook 3/4 cups of dry oatmeal with 1 1/4 cup of skim milk. Add 1 chopped apple and 1/4 cup of brazil nuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Total: 24 grams of Protein. Brazil nuts are rich in Proteins, dietary Fiber and fat. They are good for heart and skin health, as well as cancer prevention. https://wikihomenutrition.com/brazil-nuts-health-benefits/

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
