    Chicken, fish, a steak.. you don't have to eat traditional "breakfast" foods for breakfast. If you want to, though... there's always sausage or a personal favorite....

    BACON! :smiley:

    The same things that are high in protein at any meal are also high in protein at breakfast. You could always drink a breakfast shake with protein powder. Breakfast shakes are all the rage right now.

    Protein waffles, pancakes or oatmeal. In fact, protein pancakes are my dinner tonight!

  • This morning I had 4oz oven roasted deli turkey, bean sprouts, lettuce, and hummus on two slices of fiber one bread. Yummy and filling. Greek yogurt, meats, veggies, smoothies, etc. etc.

    You can eat whatever you like for breakfast. There is no reason to eat "breakfast" foods in the morning. Eat what you want, when you want it.

    I had chicken enchiladas this morning...in the summer I often enjoy some grilled fish and rice with veg...we make a lot of hardy stews in the winter and I often have leftovers for breakfast.

    As a person who recently developed an egg allergy, I'm just happy I'm an adult and can eat whatever the hell I want. But oh gah, I miss a good breakfast burrito.

    if you're hung up on wanting "breakfast-type" foods, - you have still have a lot of meat or dairy options. Yogurt, Greek yogurt, (you can always mix stuff in for flavor/texture), cottage cheese, ham/bacon/turkey bacon on toast, peanutbutter toast, etc. I personally love my balsamic red lentils for breakfast - texture similar to oatmeal, a bit sweet, and good warm or cold and protein!

    I hate eggs too, since I was a child! I can't stand the smell

    Edit: it keeps cutting my post //

    I hate eggs, too. This has long made getting enough protein difficult as I don't have the money to eat tons of meat either.

    With enough trial and error, I've developed my go-to breakfast of greek yogurt (200g) with blueberries (100g), pumpkin seeds (1 tablespoon), flaxseeds (2 tsps), and slivered almonds (1 tablespoon). Altogether it comes to around 20g of protein.

    I usually eat my protein bar and a cheese stick for breakfast. Mostly because it's quick and easy, but also because if I'm going to run that morning, that particular combination works well for me - I don't feel sick or sluggish like I might with a typical meal.

    I love all kinds of eggs. But suddenly hard boiled eggs taste like fish. Can't eat those any more. :(

    Wha???? You hate eggs. I can't take part of this negativity? LOL

    This was my reaction as well. I typically eat 2-6 eggs a day. They're the most versatile food I have in my fridge. My sister used the last of the eggs last night so I woke up this morning to an empty carton and that pretty much set the mood for my day, lol.

    OP - eat whatever. I had a friend who used to eat grilled fish almost every day for breakfast (he was Japanese). Bacon, sausage, and ham are always great "breakfast" proteins (as sides, in empanadas/wraps, etc). You can also get some protein powder and add it to oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, yogurt, etc. Greek yogurt by itself is also a great source of protein. And then, of course, there're protein/energy bars. Oh! There are high-protein breads, too.

    lulalacroixlula If your eggs taste of fish - you might have been buying the omega 3 ones laid by hens fed on fish oil. (My grandfather fed his war-time chickens with cod-liver-oil that his children wouldn't eat. They preferred the oil when in the eggs but apparently there was a slightly fishy taste.)

    You might not be surprised that I quite like porridge. It has to be 'just right' of course - -made with milk and served with walnuts; I don't like it lumpy or cold or with a spoon too large or a chair too small. Luckily it doesn't make me sleepy and since the local supermarket sells oats and milk and walnuts - no need to go looking for these things in the woods.

    Thanks for the info. I had been buying my eggs from an organic farmer at the time.

    I enjoyed having fish for breakfast in Japan
    My English dad used to eat grilled kippers.
    Sometimes I'll eat a canned sardine or a bit of pickled herring.
    Or kitcheree (lentils and rice leftovers).

    Lots of choices that aren't dairy, if you're bored of dairy

    I blend 30g of silken tofu with a frozen banana and 200g of another frozen fruit (berries, mango, etc.). It's 23g of protien per portion and 336 calories. The texture is between a yogurt and a soft serve ice cream.

    One very interesting thing about travelling, particularly in Asia, is that many many people in the world eat non western breakfast foods.

    Breakfast buffets always included noodle soup, cold meats, pork and rice etc.

    Just eat something non western breakfast food for breakfast OP.

    If you want it to have protein, pick something high in protein

    If you dont like eggs, don't eat eggs.

    NOT a good source of protein at all.

    But any kind of meat, Greek yogurt, seafood...

    That is the best web site. Try the microwave chocolate chip cookie for breakfast! Lots of protein and there's so much fiber it's really filling.

    Don't eat eggs. I prefer a tofu scramble mug with veggie bacon. More protein than stupid eggs
