best breakfast for protein?

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!

A broccoli omelette.

I usually add a half a serving of protein powder to my morning oatmeal and banana. I also found a great suggestion on the recipe forum for a cottage cheese pancake. I also add pumpkin to it for some added Vit-A. Off hand I don't recall the recipe though but I'm sure if you search cottage cheese you will find it.

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

It's not dumb- its better to ask. And yes, dairy products can offer a good source of protein.

I just make a shake with chocolate milk, pb, banana and tbsp of either olive oil or coconut oil. then coffee with 1/4 cup coconut milk. Keeps me from being hungry for a minute. And if you have protein powder add that too!

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.

Dairy comes in a lot of different fat content. I have skim milk which is high in protein, and has no fat. Greek yogurt is high in protein, and if you read the labels, there are those that are lower in fat. As with all things, they are not created equal. Read the labels, plunk some numbers in MFP to get the breakdowns. Not all fat is bad for you either. Your body requires some to function properly. A breakfast burrito is a good choice, depending what goes in it. The suggestion to make with beans is a good one. Eggs can be high in fat as well. A combo of an egg (with the yolk for the fat) plus some egg whites is a good choice. Combo it up with a carb such as whole wheat toast for a good breakfast. I started just with actually getting a breakfast in. This was a big change in itself, an over time, have cleaned it up and made it more balanced. I like my oatmeal for breakfast, often add protein powder to it, or have the combo of egg/eggwhites. And a glass of skim, no fat milk. Try some things & see what works for you!

Greek yogurt! One cup has like 140 cals and 23g of protein. I mix mine with fruit and honey.

Don't limit yourself to just "breakfast" food for breakfast.

I have a protein drink or greek yogurt most days. That usually gets me to an early lunch.

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

WHAT? How does whatever types or parts of protein are lacking in 2 egg whites suddenly materialize when you add two more?

Unless she's talking about BCAAs, she has no clue what she's talking about. Even then, her post was BS. I've never known a nutritionist to say you can't get protein from peanut butter or beans.

I wasn't talking about PARTS of protein, i was talking about PORTIONS of protein. And although peanut butter contains some source of protein, it still remains a fat, beans are also a good protein source however it still remains 1/2 PORTION of protein because they also have a greater source of carbohydrates. I got my information from licensed dietician at a local diet centre that doesn't push supplements or weight loss products, just proper eating. My dietician's information isn't BS, it's quite simple. When it is broken down into portions. PROTEIN, VEGETABLE, FRUITS, CARBOHYDRATES, FATS & DAIRY because having a healthy balanced diet is usually the best way to eat...
a portion of protein has about 23 grams of protein.
if milk has 8 grams how does it make it a protein??
if peanut butter has 3 grams of protein but 8 grams of fat, how is it a protein? last I checked, 3 grams isn't 23.

Oh, and people in the fitness world, training and having eating schedules for other reasons, measure out their proteins the same way I do.
