Low Protein Breakfast?

Donzz75

Does anyone have an idea for a low protein breakfast that is filling and under, or not too far above 200 calories?

Why low protein?

pastryari

Would like to know why low protein as well?

If you're worried about MFP's protein numbers, their goal is actually set ridiculously low. Going over on protein is actually a good thing for most.

A sub-200 cal, low-protein breakfast isn't going to be filling...unless you consider "a tablespoon of sweet-cream butter" to count as breakfast.

Like diannethegeek said, MFP sets protein absurdly low - don't worry about going over that. You really can't have too much, honestly, unless you eat nothing but steak all day erry day.

That said, 2 scrambled eggs + a handful of diced veggies (I like onions and bell peppers, sometimes mushrooms, asparagus, spinach) + a sprinkling of cheese comes out to about 250 calories, if you lube the pan with minimal oil (get a spray bottle, fill it with olive oil - bam, you got your own cooking spray!)

You can eat Fiber One Cereal (1/2cup is 60 calories), 1/2 cup almond milk is 30 calories and a small banana which is 101 calories.
Total 191 calories with 4 gr. protein. I eat the cereal that looks like worms which has 14 grams of fiber. If your breakfast has a good amount of fiber, you will not get hungry before lunch.

Why low protein? I can't imagine NOT eating a high protein breakfast cause it ALWAYS fills me up, and leaves me feeling satisfied

ndj1979

if you are going to go sub 200 just skip breakfast and eat more at lunch ...

are you sure you mean low protein not low cal?

1/2 C oatmeal?

WOODWAYONE

Some people, because of health problems, have to restrict protein.
Crock pot apple and steel cut oatmeal
Mini blueberry bagel and cinnamon laughing cow cheese
Corn Flakes or Rice krispies with silk almond milk
Strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie
Cream of Wheat
Lite cream cheese on lite toast with lite jam (cheese is considered a fat here, not a protein)

These are some of my go to foods

Thank you everyone, I said no protein because I was so high on MFP, I usually have a boiled egg and a slice of toast for breakfast but am worried that I am eating too many eggs?

One egg is not too many

Theres a bunch of good options.

Have some oatmeal with honey (for taste and extra nutrition)
cereal with milk
pb&j sammich
honey and cream cheese sammich
nutella and cream cheese sammich
fruits
Pancakes
waffles

Sky is the limit really. And honestly, a bit of protein wouldn't be bad either. Protein is good eats but if you wanna stay away, theres plenty of options

The number suggested on MFP for protein is the MINIMUM you should consume. If you go over on your protein, you will still be fine. A boiled egg would be good. I have eaten upto 4+ eggs on breakfast alone while I was training but obviously not going to recommend that since I was rather too active those days.

1-2 eggs for breaky is fine. I personally like a small omlette with cheese on a slice of GOOD bread.

coco-pops with orange juice instead of milk. measure the quantity according to the desired number of calories. tastes great, not much nutrition though.

though I agree with everyone who said MFP sets protein too low and you don't need to reduce the amount of protein in your breakfast. So stick with a higher protein breakfast and give the coco-pops with orange juice a miss, unless you fancy a chocolately orangey treat first thing in the morning and it fits your macros.

MFP sets protein too low. To set your macros, check out this link:

Also, it's hard to have too much protein. 

"It has been observed that the human liver cannot safely metabolise much more than 285-365 g of protein per day (for an 80 kg person), and human kidneys are similarly limited in their capability to remove urea (a byproduct of protein catabolism) from the bloodstream. Exceeding that amount results in excess levels of amino acids, ammonia (hyperammonemia), and/or urea in the bloodstream, with potentially fatal consequences,[1] especially if the person switches to a high-protein diet without giving time for the levels of his or her hepatic enzymes to upregulate. Since protein only contains 4 kcal/gram, and a typical adult human requires in excess of 1900 kcal to maintain the energy balance, it is possible to exceed the safe intake of protein if one is subjected to a high-protein diet with little or no fat or carbohydrates. However, given the lack of scientific data on the effects of high-protein diets, and the observed ability of the liver to compensate over a few days for a shift in protein intake, the US Food and Nutrition Board does not set a Tolerable Upper Limit nor upper Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for protein.[2] Furthermore, medical sources such as UpToDate[3] do not include listings on this topic."
