High Protein Breakfast/Lunches

have some eggs

"Go to work on an egg"

Bro, come on. That's physically impossible. How can a person ride on an egg.

Breakfast - eggs, greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, bacon, leftovers from last night's dinner.

Lunch - those leftovers again, beans, humous, salad with ham/ tuna/ chicken/ cheese

I usually make a salad the night before. Just increase the quantity of vege's and rice/pasta when you're making dinner and hey presto there's most of your lunch. I then add either tin tuna/salmon, ham, or feta cheese. You could also use cheese, chickpeas/beans, chicken or eggs. It's up to you. Couscous is also great to make and add vege&protein to it. Sooo quick to make, no cooking required. Just boil the kettle.

Have nuts or seeds at every meal, if you are cutting back hard on starchy carbs (wholegrains, beans, lentils) you need to increase your mineral and fibre intake from nuts and seeds to compensate, don't underestimate how much you need. You may find your body responds very differently to different types of starchy carbs so don't dismiss the whole family: beans, lentils and barley are very low glycaemic index so turn to sugar slowly in the body. Processed wheat, white potatoes, white rice and maize/ corn are much higher, some products actually turn to blood glucose faster than table sugar!

lunch is easy tuna, lunch meat - turkey/ chicken/ ham (just make sure low sodium and no nitrates), diced meat, cheese all paired with some veggies or a salad and some crackers if you want some starch for the flavor. I go with whole grain/ wheat crackers or a small pita or even those thin sandwich breads. these are always easy to make and take on the go. you can also eat the eggs, cottage or yogurt for lunch if you want to.

at the end of the day if your protein is still low you can always consider adding protein shakes or protein bar into your diet. The dont have to be meal replacements just supplements since the calorie count on them can range from 100 per serving all the way into the 400+ check out ensure clear or special k protein water. even luna bar now has a line of protein bars.

tuna tuna and more tuna...get creative..there are some great low cal recipes...search pinterest and skinnytaste.com. Something as simple as mixing it with a few table spoons of salsa

i'm trying to maintain a balance of 40% carbs 30 % protein 30% fats...whey isolate is your friend as well...very filling..low or no carbs super high protein

Post morning workout: 12oz, unsseetened vanilla almond milk with 2 scoops protein powder.

Breakfast: Boneless, skinless chicken breast diced up and cooked with 4 scrambled egg whites, topped with fresh, organic salsa. Grapefruit.

lunch: Any protein on a bed of mixed greens with favorite veggies mixed in, or homemeade soup. I love to mix in marinated tomatoes, a few olives, pepperoncini's, salami, things that add flavor and eliminate the need for dressing!

Afternoon snack (and sweet fix): Greek yogurt

Dinner: Protein+veggies (baked/broiled fish and brocoli)
