best breakfast for protein?

I'm not a bacon or a cereal fan so I make salmon or tuna omelet or corned beef with egg plus either rice or bread for my breakfast.

Dairy products have protein in them..some more than others.The highest protein amount that I have seen is in unsweetened Greek yogurt which has 16grams of protein.

Sammi,
Protein comes mainly from meat, cheese and other dairy products, and fish. Not so sure of veggie options

Broccoli, nuts, beans are good sources of plant based protein. Same with soy although the studies about it makes it controversial.

My husband is the breakfast eater in our family. He will make sausage, pork cutlets (pan fried), bacon or ham. Sometimes he makes omelets with the ham, sausage or bacon. I like to add lots of veggies to my omelets. Also breakfast burritos in low cal wrap or burrito. Sometimes we have waffles or pancakes with peanut butter and sugar free syrup or fruit. Yogurt with granola and fruit, you could even mix protein powder in it. Chia seeds have lots of protein also. They can be mixed into anything. :flowerforyou:

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on wholewheat toast OR chopped spinach on toast with smoked salmon on top and a poached egg on top of that

EGGS - I swear by them.

Boiled, fried in a tiny amount of olive oil, served on wholewheat toast, or a lovely chicken breast spinach and cheese omlette/tortilla, poached eggs with smoked salmon, garlic fried egg & rice etc etc....

Recently I tried to swap my daily breakfast of eggs for a big warming bowl of porridge with almond milk and mixed berries. Tried this swap for a few weeks but I noticed I got hungry within an hour after eating the porridge whereas eggs kept me full for hours.

Back on the eggs again now, for good. I just love em.

Several of these suggestions will maybe net you the same protein as a couple eggs but will triple your calories and take out half or more of your daily sodium. Be wary of advice on forums. Punch a few things in the mfp calculator, see for yourself what different breakfasts contain. Dairy has some protein, but it also high in fat and thus calories. A breakfast burrito? Shouldn't even need to say anything. Try sticking with eggs, add vegetables. The protein shake is good too, though liquid breakfasts never keep le full for long.

Remember you eat for nutrition, not pleasure.

You do. I eat for both.

I am not a breakfast person at all. Don't like eggs much, sausage, cereal, etc. I eat oatmeal with peanut butter (protein) add whatever else I want -- usually blueberries or raspberries and 1/4 of a banana sometimes a couple of chopped walnuts or pecans or 1 t. honey. I have 8 oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk - lots of protein and calcium. This breakfast is right around 300-340 calories and I stay full until lunch.

I eat 4 pieces of bacon & 6 eggs (2 whole/4 whites) every morning.

I mix up my eggs to either scrambled or omelette. Also, I mix up how I eat it. That's a big one, sometime I wrap it all in the bacon, sometimes I seperate bacon & eggs on a plate & eat it, sometimes I add some onions, avocados, beef, tomatoes, or whatever to the eggs.

You can easily eat the same things as a, as I call it "BASE" & just add stuff to it to change the taste, which actually makes you feel like it changes the whole meal.

Find different recipes to what you eat, it helps a lot. Doesn't make your diet boring & you won't get tired of it.

Venison and Bison are great proteins.

A salmon omelette sounds amazing, I need to make one.
