High protein breakfast?

1 egg yolk has the amount of cholesterol to fill 5 days worth. So I agree with only whites, because even if I ate the yolk the whole time and lost all of the weight I could still die of a heart attack very easily with the yolks.

- Cottage Cheese
- Peanut butter (with something)
- Add plain protein powder to something solid like veggies
- Do 2 shakes a day? I do 3 and add solids.
- Chicken or fish. Some people like breakfast in the evening so why not swap it.

P.S. Go to a whole foods store to find gluten free protein cereal

Plain greek yogurt. Load up on fruit.

Btw, she eats egg whites because it has a great protein to calorie ratio. Nice protein, low calories and fat.

And I guess I'm saying eggs don't have that many calories to begin with and the whole egg has so much more nutritional value that eggs whites are akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Also, fat doesn't make you fat. I thinks it's a wasted to eat just the whites and throw away the part of the egg with the most nutritional value.

I only eat egg whites because I have high cholesterol and the whole egg has alot of cholesterol in it.

The whole 'cholesterol' thing has been done - trust me. The cholesterol in eggs is the least of your concerns and research has proven that it's not the cholesterol in eggs that causes high blood cholesterol. It's saturated fats that your liver converts into cholesterol.

I don't eat whole eggs, because I dont want to lol I'm not a huge fan of the yellow. The white is pure protein. Point is: I'm tired of eggs So I dont want ANY eggs lol
OH! And I can't have gluten, so any bread product is pretty much out

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!

Sorry, I know it's irrelevant, but you reminded me of the Monty Python spam sketch.

As for high protein options (note that we're not talking calorie content - and fats are just as important here as protein):

Cheeses (non-processed preferrably)
Yogurts
Eggs
Meat
Mushrooms (yes they are a good source of protein)

If you want a really nice tasting breakfast...

Slice of wholemeal toast with bacon, black pudding, and a poached egg on top. Serve with a healthy portion of beans.

Beans and grains together make a complete protein source (yes, beans on toast)
Eggs = protein
bacon = protein
black pudding = protein

Obviously if you don't like black pudding, remove as necessary.

I eat high protein, low carb breakfasts every day. Feel free to add me if you like. My diary is open and I always like to see other peoples diaries for food ideas.

A few suggestions:

I add egg whites to my protein shakes.
I had steak for breakfast twice last week.
Turkey bacon is a good addition, but I try to keep my sodium down, so that is a treat just now and then.
I have made a flax meal type cereal with egg whites, salt free cottage cheese and pumpkin ( and cinnamon).
Cottage cheese plus tuna with some mrs dash.

Going back to the link I posted earlier, I made this yesterday and I'm going to eat it throughout the week:

from www.paleOMG.com <---great website, and everything is paleo (aka high protein and gluten free--just what you're looking for!)

I love to eat cottage cheese for breakfast.

the morning star "sausage patty's" are pretty good

dashingdish.com banana protein muffins are made with oat flour so they are gluten free and made with protein powder and greek yogurt so they have a nice amount of protein in them. you can just google search "dashing dish banana protein muffins"

I'm a big fan of the egg whites for breakfast too. I usually eat one yoke and add extra egg whites because 3 eggs is 240 calories and that is too much for me to start my day. Everyone is different. If you like yokes great, if you just want whites, who cares. Be supportive.

Protein Pancake. I make one of these every morning, I like it because its filling, high in protein and fiber and you can variy it as much as you like so it never gets boring. Or just to use what ever you have in the cupboards.

This is the basic recipe below:

Ingredients
Egg - Egg, 1 Whole Egg
Generic - Banana Large, 0.5 banana
Spices - Cinnamon, ground, 1 tbsp 18
Fry Light - Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray, 8 sprays 10" pan (4 for each side of the pancake)
Holland & Barrett - Psyllium Husks, 2 capsules (optional for added fiber)
Seeds - Sunflower Seeds, 1 tbsp
Seeds - Golden Linseed, 1 tbsp
Whey Protein - Vanilla, 30 g, 1 Scoop

Calories: 345
Protein: 31
Fiber: 9
Fat: 13
Carbs: 30
Sodium: 77

Blend all the ingredients together and cook on a low heat on both sides until done.

I usually top with the other half of banana and a squeeze of lemon juice but you can add any topping you like; other fruits/seeds/yougart/honey/nutella etc etc ...

I sometime substite the banana for fresh blueberries or strawberries when they're in season, and they give a fun colour to the mixture :-)

Steak, turkey meat i the form of sausage, bacon, whatever. Oatmeal with peanut butter in it.
