i currently have my goals set to 40% protein 30% fat and 30% carb. If ultimately like to lower the fat to 25% and 35% carb... But I'm maxing out my fats basically at breakfast! One egg contains almost my day's source of fat! So what the heck do I eat?

    25% of 1200 is 300, divide by 9 is ~33g of fat which I would think is more like 3 eggs.

    Chicken breast and other depressing lean foods may help with your objective.

    Tilapia is high in protein & low in fat. Chicken breast is good. Turkey meat. Lentils, kidney beans. Nuts. Check this website www.bembu.com

    Aaack! Nuts are high in fat. To eat fat-free eggs, eat the whites only.

    Protein and fat go together, and the fat makes the protein more portable/palatable. Some fat-soluble vitamins can only be found in animal fats. That's why you will see the recommendation to eat fatty fish like salmon.

    Yeah, one whole egg supplemented with egg whites makes a honking huge omelet. Other low fat/low calorie options with lots of protein:

    greek yogurt
    kefir
    shrimp
    cottage cheese
    chicken breast
    tofu and other soy meat substitutes
    legumes
    edamame

    I just had 4 oz of chicken breast dipped in hummus for lunch. The hummus makes the chicken less dry and sad, and adds even more protein. About 36 g protein in one sitting, and only 270 calories.

    I would suggest oatmeal with fruit. Also, fruit, fruit, and more fruit!
    Even a few vegetables like baby carrots are good for breakfast.
