best breakfast for protein?

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.

I found a great recipe posted on here which I use at least 3 times a week....called Protein Puffycakes of Joy.
In a microwave save smoosh up a ripe banana, add 2 eggs and whisk up, add a scoop of protein powder ( I use strawberry flavored) and mix that in. Chuck in the microwave for 3 minutes.

Turn over onto a plate. I usually top mine with a couple tbsns plain greek yogurt and fresh blueberries. LOTS of protein in one puffycake of joy...

Dairy products are also good. Yogurt, cottage cheese, spreadable cheeses on bread.

Are dairy products still protein? I'm sorry if that sounds dumb, but it would be dumber not to ask when I don't know. Right? )

Yup! A cup of milk has about 8 g of protein. A 150 g serving of yogurt has 7 g.

I don't know if you'd want this for breakfast, but beans are also high in protein, say if you wanted a breakfast burrito or something.

Just an FYI, although milk has protein in it, does not mean it is a portion of protein, it also has a lot of sugar.
if you want proper protein in DAIRY products, GREEK yogurt, cottage cheese, quark cheese are the only actual protein sources, beans are extremely high in starch, 1/2 cup of beans/lentils albeit great protein/iron source, only count as 1/2 portion of protein and a full serving of carbohydrates. Unless combined with quinoa, the combination equates the complete protein amino acids.
Peanuts & nut butters are also NOT a source of protein, just because they have protein in it, does not make them protein. nut butters are fat and to be limited.

A nutritionist told me the best breakfast is egg whites and beans. Any kind of beans. You can use whole egss if you want. I scramble mine, add canned white beans and a little salsa for flavor. The combination of egg protein and bean protein creates a perfect protein complex which makes you eat less throughout the day! It really works. Try it!

2 full eggs are actually a complete protein on their own... 4 egg whites become a complete protein.

I've been doing hard boiled egg whites and Greek yogurt (sometimes I add a few sunflower kernels to the yogurt). I can get pretty lazy in the morning before my workout, so hard boiling eggs once a week seems to help with that!
