Breakfast - high in protein, low in carbs

My typical breakfast is:

20g of Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate Protein Powder mixed with
100g of 2% greek yogurt
and then I add oats or nuts or 25g of a protein cereal I found here in the store.

Leftover meat on low carb wrap,egg sandwich.....using egg white,small amt of meat on low carb bread or English muffin,hard boiled eggs,lots of melon. Canned chicken or tuna added to Roasted/grilled veggie salad ..........you could also Google for ideas.

smoothies made with protein powder and fruits etc.

greek yogurt (although I don't like it for breaky)

Theres something called "ful" (pronounced "fool") sold here that is made with cheese, beans, lentils, falafel, spices and all the good stuff. Super tasty and while a bit heavy, its low in calories (for me at least). Go to an arabic store and ask for "ful mudammas" and look up recipes for "Sudanese style ful". It would take some practice to make decent ful but the potential is there.

Do you just hate eggs or particular type of prepared eggs? I fry up some tomatoes in oil and when the water is almost all gone, add beaten eggs and then put it in between good bread with hot sauce, pepper, and cheese. I add some other veggie while cooking too and make it an omelette sometimes.

eggs, bacon, bacon and eggs.... :drinker:

Yep!

Thank you all for the ideas. Looks like I need to get out of bed half an hour earlier then lol. If I was to have eggs for breakfast what could I have as a side to them? I only really like scrambled or poached eggs.

A cuisinart egg central makes poached eggs very quickly with minimal cleanup. Costs around $19.

Hormel precooked bacon 72 slices for $11 from SAMs club. Nuke for 20 sec in micro in folded paper towel.

Oats
Fruit
Toast
Bagels
Perhaps switch up the yogurt flavors.
Perhaps add some meat (breakfast sausage, bacon, ect)

I am pretty big on eating a half bagel with peanut butter and sometimes sliced banana on top, add some lowfat milk and you got 20-ish grams of protein.

Also, try not to eat the same things for breakfast every day. That way you tend not to get sick of certain foods.

I have been mixing Glory Greens - collard greens into my eggs, but scrambled eggs are great with onions, tomatoes, and peppers.

As I said above sausage or bacon can go great with eggs. But even something like pancakes are great.

Ooohhhh....


- There's egg whites with sausage / breakfast ham / steak.

- 2-3 Greek flavored yogurts

- Protein shakes with some fruit blended in (low carb)

- Protein pancakes made with egg whites and protein powder

If you like cottage cheese, it's pretty high in protein, especially at just 1/2 cup. I mix it up by adding berries or a Tbsp. of PB2.

Make an egg casserole or egg muffins and reheat throughout the week. No need to wake up early if you prepare in advance.

Thats what I was gonna say.

Eggs only take me like 7ish minutes to make though...that's from walking into the kitchen to walking out. Throw a pan on the stove on high, crack eggs, wander around for a few minutes...scramble them up...wander...flip, stir, flip, stir...done...

Tomatoes and berries are great additions!

I also suggest hard boiled eggs or egg "muffins". I put meat, cheese, veggies in muffin cups and pour beaten eggs over the top. Bake at 350 for around 15 minutes, until tops have puffed up and set. I freeze them in big baggies and take a few out to microwave in the morning...maybe 30-45 seconds.

I'm not a yogurt person, but I eat a lot of cottage cheese and make parfaits out of that with some granola and cinnamon. Or sometimes I'll just grab some deli meat, some string cheese, and a handful of fruit or veggies if I'm not super hungry.

Most mornings I do get up a little earlier and make myself a breakfast sandwich. Canadian bacon, egg, cheese, on an English muffin usually keeps me full until my late lunch at 2pm.

I make egg muffins on Sunday for the week...20 eggs, 1 cup of frozen chopped spinach, 3 bell peppers, 1 onion, and some Feta and seasoning. That yields 24 muffins, which both my husband and I take to work each day. I divide them up into bags for the week, toss them in the fridge, and grab one bag each morning (and microwave 2 for 40 seconds at work)...they are yummy!

I also often have a half of a scoop of protein powder before I leave for work in the morning.

Mine is typically 170g 2% greek yogurt with 20g ON double rich chocolate or vanilla ice cream flavor, plus about 150g berries (raspberries and strawberries, more the first than the second)
