I like to get around 30 grams with breakfast and do so usually with a 2-egg vegetable omelet plus some low fat cottage cheese or low fat/skim greek yogurt (plain) on the side (or various other sources of protein on the side, depending on what I feel like). In the alternative I occasionally have oatmeal (which has some protein) with protein powder (usually with berries in the oatmeal and some vegetables on the side).

This makes a pretty big omelet that fills me up. If I need something quick I usually do "double protein oatmeal" English muffins with peanut butter and then after I get to work I have a Greek yogurt/string cheese/cottage cheese or something like that.

What do you mean by double protein oatmeal?

Depending on how many berries I add, around 295 calories, 28 g protein. I usually eat some veggies too which kick me over my 30 gram goal and into the 300s for calories, which is what I aim for at breakfast.

That's a good one but do you really eat that for breakfast =0) It sounds like a full/ half a day's meal (calories) Yes, i actually do it it for breakfast/brunch (more so on the weekends)... 8 oz sirloin, 2 eggs over easy, a side of bacon and potatoes. If I didn't work at 0600, then I would do it during the week. My normal work breakfast is a P28 protein bagel with peanut butter, an apple and a Quest protein bar. You can see my diary (my breakfast and morning snack are at the same time now.. just never modded the entries). It's about 1100 calories, but it gives you close 85g of protein. When I go with a very large breakfast though, I skip lunch. But I will also have a large dinner

I've started thinking outside of the American box of sweet/carbed-up breakfasts, and that's helped a lot. Chicken soup for breakfast? Sure! Veggies at breakfast are the best! The fiber/protein combo helps keep me feeling full and energized. Stirring protein powder into everything- some whey protein can be a great addition to my morning tea (wait until it's cooled a bit first to avoid gelling).
