I would replace cereal with Turkey egg white muffins. I bake a pan on Sundays and the last me all week. All you have to do is warm them in the microwave.0

Carbmaster yogurt from krogers/Fred Meyers has 9g protein, 3 g carbs 60 cal. I eat 3 for breakfast many days.... special k protein cereal . ...occasiobal protein bar (pure protein is low sugar and 20g) tuna from a pouch. I get anywhere between 90 to 150 of protein in a day without using any powder.
So you realize that the Carbmaster yogurt derives it protein from protein powder right (milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate)? If you get a pure whey protein isolate or micellar casein with minimal ingredients, they are not all that bad. I like myprotein powders personally as they have pure versions (most pure is the unflavored) and fair price.0 -

Great thanks I'll maybe try the burrito and egg sandwich. Do you just take it out of the freezer the night before?
You should! I make breakfast burritos for my partner and I take them out of the freezer and put them in his lunch box in the fridge. Then by the time he is at work it just needs to be heated. When they have to be defrosted via microwave the tortilla gets hard in places. Tolerable but easy to avoid!
