    Hi there. My go-to for breakfast is egg whites. I've recently discovered that making a bowl of oatmeal with savory ingredients helps me stay full and can help with adding protein to an everyday high carb (oatmeal) breakfast. Here's what I'm making right now: 1/2 c. old-fashioned oatmeal made with water, 1 whole large egg, plus three egg whites (any way you like them; I like the yolk soft, so I can stir it into the oats), 2 strips turkey bacon, cooked & crumbled, couple of dashes of hot sauce. Yum! Another great protein additive to breakfast foods: Kefir (plain). Delicious in smoothies too.

    I don't eat breakfast, and I like to fill up at lunch. A plain Fage Greek yogurt with honey, 2-egg omelet with cheese and vegetables, and a banana does the trick, for about 550 calories and 37 g protein.

    Chicken thighs (boneless skinless) with some sort of sauce (bbq, chiles, etc). I used to eat a lot of hard boiled eggs, but I got burned out. XD

    Cottage cheese is probably my favorite source of protein. It's filling and versatile.

    Grilled chicken or salmon. Side salad. Adjust the meat size to meet your protein goals. Be sure to measure the dressing out.

    Tillamook Farmstyle Greek yogurt or Yoplait 100 Greek both have 14g of protein and are keeping me SUPER full these days.

    Breakfast today was a good example.

    Chicken breast with swiss cheese and a side of oats topped with oil wilted kail and eggs.

    Isopure Whey isolate mixed with chocolate milk and/or a nice, well done sirloin are my favourite protein sources.

    Too many options....

    A good piece of eye fillet steak, on the rare side of medium rare.

    Protein pancakes

    Frittata for a quick dinner - great for using up vegies hanging around in the fridge at the end of the week

    Chobani strawberry Greek yoghurt. 13.8 grams of protein per 170 gram serving. 531 kilojoules.

    Tuna. Best "protein per calories" food of them all.

    Try egg whites with steel cut oats. I cook the steel cut oats in the insta-pot, and they have a similar consistency to brown rice

    Never tried donkey steak.

    I have to go for eggs, they're just so convenient. Fried eggs are my quick go-to. And any kind of eggs are a good way to feed mini-me in a hurry.
