I dont eat eggs - what are you non egg lovers eating instead?

I am a former non-egg eater (having in just the last month or two started trying to make myself eat eggs... they're okay for me scrambled really soft with parmesan cheese on them).

I eat plain Greek yogurt nearly every day for breakfast! Perfect for lots of protein. I'll also make a tofu scramble sometimes with spinach, tomatoes, and seasonings, or sometimes a protein shake with Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and half a banana.

For snacks I often eat nuts, FiberOne bars, cheese sticks, and pepperoni (depending on my macro needs for the day). (I also don't really enjoy snacking on veggies, lol, so tend to have them with meals.)

I thought I was the only "weirdo" that hates eggs! You could try a whole grain waffle or bagel thin with turkey sausage, or chicken/turkey slices to make a breakfast sandwich. Maybe with a little avocado for some healthy fat. (I don't like avocado either, so I would skip that.) My personal trainer really wanted me to try eggs or egg whites. I just couldn't. Even with every condiment known to man...I still wanted to throw up!

There's lots of things to eat that don't involve eggs:) I love to stir Greek yogurt (100cal 13g protein) into low-sugar oatmeal, makes a creamy delicious hot breakfast. Bananas apple, or carrot sticks with peanut butter/pb2 or cheese stick make great snacks. You can make breakfast tacos with bean and cheese, ham and cheese, bean and potato, etc. Even special k protein cereal and milk is a good source of protein and easy.

I saw something of tv about a yogurt bar that serves both savory and sweet yogurt bowls. They topped the yogurt with all kind of savory veggies, spices, seeds and herbs. Example cucumbers, dill, garlic, lemon and olive oil. Looked like deconstructed tatziki. I tried it with both yogurt and cottage cheese. Very good! The possibilities are endless. Caprese? Spinach? Garden veggie?

Poptarts aren't a bad option if you just want something sweet! They're around 200 calories per pastry -- some are a little higher and some are a little lower! For just random snacks, The Sandwich Bros make an entire line of microwaveable sandwiches for under 200 calories. I was able to pick up their chicken melts at my local Sam's Club and they're 160 calories and so delicious and filling! Interestingly enough, their labels don't have much that I can't pronounce which I find to be really impressive! In the place of snacks I also tend to eat a fairly large salad which makes it almost like a meal but for snack-level calories (1 romaine head, 56 grams of ham, 28 grams of ranch dressing comes in at under 200 calories)! I am also really fond of ramen noodles for a snack (a bit higher at 400 calories). Depending on brands you can probably even get away with a piece of toast with some peanut butter or jam for breakfast! Another snack that I've been enjoying is cans of vegetables from the store with various fixings - they are all just a bit over 100 calories from what I've experienced and very satiating!

I hate the taste of eggs too. Glad to see I'm not alone.

I might add that protein is in almost every single produce - even celery contains protein. It is impossible not to get enough unless you only eat oil and fruit or are on a starvation diet in which case there isn't anything you would get enough of.

I have no substitutes for eggs, because I absolutely love them. I know ways of sneaking them into your food without tasting them, if that helps, though.

Can you handle egg whites? I add liquid egg whites to shakes to beef up my protein intake. It makes my shakes thicker and a little frothy, but adds no flavor at all. I also add them to my grits while they're cooking, it makes the meal heartier and fills me up longer.

I'm not using protein shakes at all, but could certainly add eggs if needed - as long as I cant taste them = all good.
But I try to make meals from readily available ingredients (in the pantry) just works easier for the whole family.

Will look into protein shakes as I can certainly see them as a 'life saver' when I am having a blah moment for sure. DEFINATELY when at work or when I've had a late start to the day
What is the reason for adding an egg to a protein shake?

To boost my protein intake. Protein fills you up better than carbs, and egg whites are a clean, protein-packed filler that beefs up shakes. And not just protein shakes, I don't think I even mentioned protein shakes. It works great for ANY shake, green veggie shakes, frozen or fresh fruit shakes, even milkshakes!
