Breakfast protein ideas

huggit

Hi I know I need protein for breakfast, but I can't eat eggs or yogurt and shouldn't eat bacon every day right? I have had chicken on toast this morning and frankly it was a bit bleurgh! Any suggestions of an easy protein breakfast oh I don't eat processed meat or drinks either.

i beg to differ




in all seriousness though you could just add a protein shake or bar to your normal meal... or maybe have sardines or smoked salmon, cheeses (cream, cottage, cheddar to name a few), baked beans, peanut butter...

obviously some of those suggestions are better sources of protein than others, but hey.

Personally if it's not eggs and bacon, I like to have overnight chocolate protein oats which has 18g of protein in the form of a delicious chocolate cake-batter tasting concoction.

I really recommend yoghurt for a low calorie, high protein breakfast. I have 125g fromage frais (or any low fat yoghurt will do just the same), a scoop of protein powder to add flavour, and I also have granola from myprotein which is very tasty and great macros. I suppose other granola or cereal would do but try to get good protein:calories as some cereals are just criminally high cal.

All in all what I have is 333kcal for 45g protein which is amazing.

I don't eat what you would call breakfast foods solely at breakfast time (or other foods at other times), I eat what I need to in order to hit my calorie/macro goals. That being said, I would recommend protein porridge or protein cereal with skimmed milk.

I love ham, smoked fish (particularly trout), and cottage cheese at breakfast. All of them are great sources of protein that pair well with other foods.

Baked beans are good. A bit high in sugar though. Or what about hummus on wasa bread with cheese on the side. Or peanut butter on toast. Hope some of these suggestions help. Good luck.

You don't have to have a lot of protein at breakfast. You need to get enough protein during the day, but there's no reason why a certain amount must be at breakfast unless that's your personal preference. If you prefer to eat most of your protein at other times, then try eating more fat and/or fiber at breakfast, since those things help many people feel full.

I love eggs and usually have a 2-egg omelet with lots of veg, but I also like smoked fish (especially salmon, but trout works) or cottage cheese on the side or as an alternative.

I love avocado toast with lox (1pc Dave's thin sliced bread, 1/2 avocado, 2oz lox, Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning). I try not to have it more than 1x-2x a week because the sodium creeps up on me like crazy, but the protein+fat combo is awesome and gets me all the way through my noon crossfit class easy.

I love protein, meat especially. Some of good combos -

frozen grilled Tyson chicken, roasted broccoli with nutritional yeast and cottage cheese
1 bag of Chefs Cut beef jerky, Quest bar, apple
oatmeal, 1 scoop protein powder mixed in, topped with cottage cheese and banana
sliced deli turkey, sliced cheddar cheese and hummus on a waffle
Quest bar, Isopure drink, berries
boca veggie burger, melted with 1 slice of cheese, 2 pieces of bacon, and a side of roasted Brussels
2 turkey meatballs, English muffin melted with cheese and marinara
