Breakfast foods high in protein

MrsLannister

Ricotta cheese is basically the same as cottage cheese with smaller curds and less sodium. 1/2 cup has 14 grams protein. Mix in some fruit or instant pudding.

I go with plain greek yogurt, hardboiled eggs or cottage cheese. Ricotta unfortunately is like 2x the calories per gram of protein than cottage cheese. Cottage cheese 4% is 220 calories per cup, ricotta is over 400. With 25 and 28 grams of protein respectively.

Some great ideas here

Try a mix of cottage cheese, fruit-flavored greek yogurt and lemon juice. I usually mix 1/2 cup of the cottage, 1/2 cup of the greek yogurt and 1 tsp lemon juice [enhances the flavor]. I get about 26g protein each morning from this.

If you're watching fat and salt intake, the flavors from the greek yogurt and lemon juice will even mask the meh flavor of fat free cottage cheese, though I usually use low fat cottage cheese.

Shakshuka (a baked egg dish with a tomato base) - I add beans, usually chickpeas or white beans, to mine and top with cheese for more protein and fiber.

Here is my protein smoothie: 2 cups milk, 1 banana, 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, and a cup or so of blueberries or strawberries. Hmmm, I should try this with peaches sometime too.

Waffles (with egg, milk, flaxseeds etc) that have 12gr of protein and 310 calories each. Served with peanut butter for more protein or baked beans, back bacon and poached egg (but that's more for a lunch cause it's 500-600 calories altogether)

Adding: I talked to my dad about this thread and he tells me that Tangerines are unrelated to oranges. When his food restriction (for kidneys) would not allow him oranges any more, he could still have Tangerines.

[Edited to add] Oops wrong thread.

I can't do very high protein because it leaves me with a headache but do go with complex carbs, nuts and seeds.

Herdez's Salsa Verde has saved my world! Also Olé low cal, high fiber tortillas. They make it easy to eat eggs every day.

For something different, I like half can baked beans, 2eggs, mushrooms and either turkey breast or turkey bacon. If you have a sweet tooth try greek yoghurt pancakes: 1 large Egg, 0.50 cup flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 6 ounce, Greek Yoghurt -Plain. This gives you 180calories, 5g fat(from egg, omit the yolk for no fat), 11carbs, 7sugar and 24g Protein. Add in fruits or whatever you desire! Perfect for Sunday morning.
