Breakfast Ideas

Hey Fam!

Just getting fired up on my journey and would love some lower carb/higher protien breakfast ideas that are relatively easy to make. I am still a child and eat cereal, so need to start eating some healthier options. What favorites have you come across that don't necessarily feel like "healthy foods?"

    I do fage 0% greek yogurt with the jam cups--that way you can control the amount of sugar you add. Also a banana, usually with peanut butter

    bake an egg, basil and a little bit of cheese (I've used goat and provolone) into a hollowed out tomato with a side of sprouted grain toast.

    Wheat toast, 2 eggs on top can be scrambled or cooked as you like, a couple tomatoes slices and some avocado.

    I just go with 2 hard boiled eggs. dip in a tiny bit of salt and pepper, and they are very delicious.

    My other go to breakfast is sliced fruit and cheese. I get to pick out some fancy cheeses at the store so this one's fun. And pairing different fruit flavors means that I get a lot of variety.

    My go to lately has been Thomas Lite English Muffins (100 cal) topped with .25 Tablespoon of Natural Peanut Butter and just 10 ml of Cary's Sugar Free Syrup and a cup of Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt (80 cal and 12 g protein with only around 7g of sugar) with 5 grams of Kind Peanut Butter Granola for a little added crunch. For all of this... You get a total of 20g protein, 11g sugar, 40g carbs, 6g fat at only 250 calories. Filling and appetizing. Also just had Kodiak Protein Pancakes recommended to me and tried them Sunday with some fresh blueberries and the Cary's Sugar Free pancake syrup... Good stuff, high protein and filling too.

    You could eat cereal with protein milk (vanilla flavor probably, mixed with milk). That would be super easy and add a lot of protein.

    Otherwise, you know, eggs. I'd probably cook up a few over easy eggs and some bacon and keep them in the fridge because I'm super lazy in the mornings. Maybe eat it on top of a piece of toast with some avocado and bacon. Yum.

    My go to breakfast lately is 3 large scrambled eggs with onions, green peppers, and mushrooms along with a little pepper jack cheese. This is after drinking protein shake after workout with Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries.

    I like to cut the top off a bell pepper (keep it!), scoop out the seeds - add ham, cheese, mushroom, onion - whatever fancies you.... then crack 1-2 eggs depending on the size of the pepper -- put the "lid" of the pepper back on and microwave about 2 minutes give or take depending on how you like your eggs........ It's easy to do at work too - - I just chop up all my add-ins for the week and bring in peppers already cleaned and eggs....... and your co-workers will hate/love you cause it smells so good!!!! :) You could probably bake a bunch of these ahead of time, but haven't tried it - I like the crunch that remains on the pepper since it's only cooked 2 minutes...... or as another person stated make egg muffins - they are good cold or reheat easily........

    Today breakfast was Cocoa Puffs cereal, 60 g, Kefir, 4.0 oz, and peanut powder, 45 g. That was 461 calories and 28 grams protein. The kefir is thicker than milk and all that peanut powder made it thicker still. With the addition of a pot of coffee, my breakfast protein reached 30 grams.

    It's not keto, of course. I don't try for high fat. My goal was to use kefir and reach 30 g protein.

    (1) nothing wrong with the cereal if you don't find a portion of it depressingly small and it successfully keeps you full for the number of calories and you are otherwise meeting your protein and fat requirements. (FYI- it's a good idea to weigh cereal - the bulk density can vary pretty widely)

    (2) greek yogurt is probably the easiest way to add a large amount of protein to breakfast. and/or a protein shake. (or some kind of pre-prep'd omelet-like thing with extra egg whites that you only have to microwave morning of).

    1/3 cup oatmeal cooked with 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk plus 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp flaxseed meal, 1/2 tsp chia seed, 1/4 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, and fruit of choice (today it was a chopped date, other days mixed berries, apple, peaches, or whatever is in season. Fills you up until lunchtime. Yes, it is high in carbohydrates, but also protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fat.

    I pick up a package of Great Value Pulled Pork and heat up a serving of that and add two scrambled eggs. Some days I add a serving of Seasoning blend. Basic, simple and very little cleanup.

    Lately I've been doing a healthy alternative to the egg mcmuffin. Whole wheat English muffin, with low-sodium turkey or chicken and an egg (cheese optional)

    l made breakfast tacos today and I froze the extras. I baked the scrambled eggs so I could easily cut them into proper portions. I hope they reheat well. I used Mission street taco size flour tortillas, eggbeaters, 1/2 slice 2% American cheese and 1/2 slice of bacon. tyufpya5sozj.jpeg
    It’s around 175 cals.
