I'm curious as to what you guys would suggest for a quickly made, high protein, no/low carb, non dairy, breakfast with about 300 - 400 calories. Scrambled eggs and turkey bacon or sausage is what I'm doing now. It's fine but looking for variety. I'm open to non-traditional breakfast foods too.

    Could you get a protein bar? Non-dairy is hard. I usually drink a cup of skim milk with a scoop of protein powder and that gives me 34 g of protein for the am. I'm sorry I'm not much help! Good luck to you!

    I sometimes like to have a nice Ahi Tuna steak for breakfast. Cook it like you would for dinner, but without the starch and veggie sides. Yummy ... wish I had one now.

    an 8 ounce Ahi steak will give you about 275 calories and about 49 G of protein.

    With all those restrictions..I'd suggest what your already doing...eggs and meat! :) I did try quinoa w/ sauteed spinach and eggs once...really yummy! My usually is eggs, black beans, salsa, spinach, and veggies on a corn tortilla with a side of fresh fruit! Or a protein shake! :)

    Spinach and 1/2 c of black beans would be an easy add. Thanks! Any other good ideas out there? Mahi tuna would be great but the easy/quick goes out the window. Canadian bacon... :D

    Egg whites! I also use life choice bars. The double chocolate is my favorite. Only 190 calories, 8g sugar, 16 carbs but a whopping 21 grams of protein. I like the peanut butter ones too. The chocolate mint...meh.

    bowl of water (like a cereal bowl) two eggs broken into the water. Microwave about 2 minutes. Pretty passable poached eggs.

    You can make any number f egg mcmuffin style sandwiches. I make them open faced. one piece of toast or English muffin and:

    pepperoni and some mozzarella
    canadian bacon and cheese
    ham or turkey
    left over spaghetti sauce
    salsa and cheese.

    Skip breakfast and save the cals for a midnight snack!

    Or

    2 scoops whey in almond milk.

    My favorite summer breakfast is a smoothie!

    I just do it to taste, no measuring.

    orange juice (more OJ than anything else)

    1 or 2 scoops of vanilla, strawberry, or banana protein powder (or mix it up!)

    frozen "tropical blend" of peaches, mango, pinapple, and strawberries (you can find this at any food store, but if you have a wholesale market like BJs, Costco, or Sams near you it seems to be more affordable)

    frozen "mixed berries"

    i like to add a spoonfull of peanut butter too. sounds strange with fruit but I'm a PB nut and it adds a little extra protein and good fats.

    hope you enjoy!

    I'm very new to this (joined today!), so I'm feeling a bit timid.....
    But just for a bit of a change could you substitute smoked salmon for your bacon?
