Low Carb Cottage Cheese Pancakes --- low carb but high protein (use egg whites only) about 28 g protein
don't use butter, roll pancakes around fresh melon or berries, or spread with a bit of peanut butter (more
protein) and/or a small bit of jam.

Low-fat cottage cheese. 28 grams of protein in a 1-cup serving. Top with 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds or pistachios or pecans (about 3 g of protein) and/or top with a 1/2 cup fresh fruit. (frozen fruit will work ok as long as it thaws a bit.

Note -- there are 2 types of cottage cheese, small curd and large curd. I use only large curd but it's a matter of preference. Read label carefully and check salt content ... some brands are excessively high.

Do you like Salmon? A friend has 3 oz salmon once/week. Usually broiled in oven. 30-40 g protein / 0 carbs

Chickpeas -- 1 cup is about 40 g protein. Use canned, rinsed and drained well. can drizzle with oil, add seasonings and roast for a great snack. Or, on a whole wheat tortillas, layer greek yogurt or cottage cheese, unsweetened pineapple tidbits, chickpeas ... roll up and eat. add some rough chopped celery if you want some crunch ... or some green pepper if you like pineapple/pepper combo.

My new favorite breakfast but pretty sure it would work wonders for satisfying an ice cream craving too, is one package of Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek yogurt, I Cup frozen berries, I Cup 1% milk. I put that in the bullet blender & it comes out smooth & creamy. It’s really like having a thick milkshake.

I eat a banana with peanut butter a lot of mornings when I don't have time to make eggs.

Any ideas for breakfast meals that don’t include eggs 😶

Oatmeal, Grits, quinoa, fruits, peanut butter, ham slices, smoothies.

I love these Powercakes. High in protein and fiber. They are not necessarily low carb like you asked. Throw some peanut butter on them and you have a good high protein breakfast.

I really enjoy cottage cheese with fresh fruit. It never gets old for me. I buy the dry curd cottage cheese and rehydrate it myself with with a sprinkle of a tablespoon or two of cream or milk in order to avoid the excess salt they put in cottage cheese. It's a breakfast that packs a big protein punch for the calories. Today: 210 calories, 28 g protein.

In the winter I prefer a hot breakfast and have a ton of oatmeal recipes both standard stove-top and baked varieties that I rotate through. I have to add protein powder or a hard boiled egg to get that breakfast up to the protein level that fuels me for the day, and that tends to be a higher calorie breakfast.

Needing a grab and go breakfast. I have to be out the door at 4:30am to make it to work on time. Ps I’m not a morning person.

I'm not an early morning person either, but I have to be up and at 'em early. I take a prescription in the morning when I get up and have to wait a full hour before eating, and I like to sleep until the last minute, so I just take my breakfast with me and eat it at work.

The only thing that works for me consistently is when I pre-weigh and individually portion my breakfasts, snacks, and lunches for the week on Sundays. Everything is neatly stacked in the refrigerator and ready to be grabbed on the fly.
