High Protien Breakfast

Protein shakes for me with some Fage yogurt in it, berries, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Love Bowmarnution Brand (frosted cookie and blueberry cheesecake)

Eggs. Bacon. High protein. Want more protein? More eggs. More bacon.

I decided to have a high(er) protein breakfast when I was losing, because I also thought it would keep me full longer, and because it hit my personal morning preferences. I typically ate a 2 egg omelet with veg (I just found an example that had 100 g broccoli, 50 g spinach, and 35 g mushrooms), a little cheese (I used .5 oz feta), and then to bump the protein would have cottage cheese or greek yogurt on the side (I logged 90 g 1% cottage cheese). That comes to 313 cal, 32 g protein, as well as 13.5 g carbs, 15 g fat, and a nice complement of micros.

I would change up the veg, but largely swore by that for quite some time, and still recommend something like that as an enjoyable breakfast if you like eggs (protein can be bumped even higher with egg whites, but I typically didn't do that).

However, I've recently started experimenting with different breakfasts, including some with less protein (vegetables are a staple for me for breakfast, however). This includes my omelet with a lower protein side like fruit or avocado, savory oats (with only one egg, plus veg), and my current smoothie obsession. While it's easy to make a smoothie with protein #s like my omelet meal (30+), I am currently choosing not to consume protein powder and so my smoothies tend to come in more like 20-25 g protein, and I've made them with less. Interestingly to me, and contrary to my prior assumption, it makes no difference to whether I stay satisfied until lunch (I eat breakfast around 6 or 6:30 and lunch at 12 or 1 and nothing in-between), so I have to assume what works for me for breakfast is more volume based or that fiber can substitute for protein or something.

People are individual, however, so experiment to see what you like.

I like Greek yogurt or plain yogurt with a little protein powder, with some apple or banana. Egg whites with low-fat cheese, spinach, and low cal wrap is also good.

2 duck eggs on spelt toast with a cup of tea is my go to brekkie - high satiate score (for me).

I'm curious if there is any reason you are choosing not to take protein powder?

Just a personal thing.

I just made a “cheesecake” breakfast- it holds together v well, is airy and, when eaten warm is almost reminicient of semolina pudding. I usually eat 1/3 - 1/2 of the recipe if i have it for breakfast.

The whole cake is roughly 480kcal and contains 50g protein.

- 250g of curd
i got the most indulgent-tasting results with 20% fat but 0.2% works just fine

- 4 medium eggs

- 2tbsp Whole Grain Flour
feel free to experiment with this, i have used starch or pulverised oats before for similar results

- 2 tbsp of sugar, or an artificial equivalent

- Salt and Vanilla to taste
this gives the cheesecake it’s “cakey” flavour so i wouldn’t skimp on the vanilla. If you want you could add lemon rind at this stage, it really does elevate the taste.

Mix with you tool of choice until smooth and pour into your preferred mold (ramekins, cake forms of all sizes, cupcake forms etc.) and bake at 175 C* for roughly 15 min or until firm.
