Can anyone please provide suggestion for those breakfast items high in protein. I am tired of eating egg whites with veggies every morning and turkey bacon. The bacon I don't mind so much. I need other alternatives instead of the eggs with veggies. Something that can be nutritious, yet delicious and keep me full until my first snack of the morning.

    I feel like getting creative. Silk flavoured dessert tofu. What shall we pair it with? How about a teaspoon of maple syrup and something crunchy. Maybe a quarter cup granola. Or if you must stick to protein, a tablespoon of hemp hearts.

    I have tried a whey isolate protein shake blended with banana and almond milk, salmon, and chicken breast on flatbread as alternatives lately. Good luck and you got this!

    avocado - either on toast, by itself, of baked with an egg in the hole left by the pit.

    That's high fat, not high protein. I'm definitely going to try it though. Maybe some bacon on top?

    Pure Protein or Think Thin bars. I also put a scoop of whey protein in my coffee or make a smoothie with banana and milk. You can also roll up a piece of deli ham or turkey and a slice of cheese around a slice of avocado.

    I like whole fat cottage cheese on a whole wheat english muffin. It keeps me totally satisfied.

    I have fat free Greek yoghurt with granola or protein enriched cereal with milk, both give me around 18g protein for 250-330 cals

    And sometimes if I'm eating a bit later--like at 10 am I'll have a chicken breast with blue cheese and hot wing sauce,

    Yes - I was just about to suggest protein powder - one scoop is usually around 25 g of protein.
    Also, Dry Curd Cottage Cheese has a lot more protein than regular cottage cheese and way less
    sodium too - You could mix some of that into your smoothies...along with greek yogurt

    I found a recipe for a "sweet omelette" which is eggs (or whites), cream cheese or cottage cheese, a little sweetener, and fruit.

    I make mine with 4 egg whites, 1/4 c cottage cheese, 2 splenda pkts, and a handful of frozen blueberries. I also like a cup of cottage cheese with a little low sugar jam or unsweetened applesauce.

    Protein Oatmeal I used quick oats from kroger and when they are almost done I add a scoop of protien powder in. Quest salted caramel is so good with a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips. Made with 1/2 cup of fat free skim milk it has 33 grams of protein.
