Im trying to start my day with a good amount of protein first thing in the morning. Last week I had a hard boiled egg each day which wasn't bad but I feel like I was forcing myself to eat them.
Today I tried 2 scrambled eggs in the microwave with a little bit of Frank's Red Hot (only cause I heard that boosts metabolism) but that didnt sit well in my stomach.
So basically I need some suggestions for high protein and preferably low(ish) calories that can be made fast as I am always rushing in the morning.
Im thinking of getting some protein powder and making shakes in the morning but would like some opinions first.
I have trouble eating in the morning too. It's an important meal, but it takes me an hour or two before I get really hungry. What I do instead of force-feed myself is mix cappuccino flavored whey protein in with a cup of coffee. It's quick, tastes great, and has high protein and low cals.0 -
*sigh*
I must really be getting old, or be in love, or something, to let this opportunity pass by...

My breakfast this morning was: 1cup strawberry halves, 1cup greek yogurt, 1 scoop protein powder, and a half cup of milk. 51g of protein for all of it.0

Here's what you do. Go get one of those little microwave egg cookers. Put in two whole large eggs. Take the yolks out with a spoon (that's all your fat and cholesterol right there). Nuke for 1 minute. Serve on a 110-cal wheat bagel or 2 pieces of wheat toast with a slice of reduced fat cheese and maybe a slice of low fat ham or turkey. Delicious.0

My wife and I are strapped for time in the morning as well so here's what we do.
1 Banana
1 scoop of protein powder
1 cup of fat free milk
1/2 cup of Kashi cereal
All in a blender. And we drink the shakes on the way to work. It comes out to 380 calories but 37g of protein and 55g of good carbs. Only 4g of fat. Fills us up for a few hours. Good luck.0 -
Herbalife shakes. They will give you about 24 grams of protein and the different receipes gives a varity. I went from 260 lbs to 200 lbs in 4 1/2 months (https://www.facebook.com/#!/ScottsNewLifestyle) using Herbalife products. Your body can only obsorb about 27 grams of protein per meal, so anything over that is simply a waste. I have a shake and tea every morning and every lunch.0

I ate this for dinner the other night but there is no reason it could not be for breakfast as well. Scramble 1 whole egg and a few egg whites. Add in some diced leftover chicken breast and cheese. So freakin good. Ate it with some skim milk and it was loads of protein. Took maybe 5 minutes to make.0

I like this quick breakfast:
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
8 oz water
baby spinach
frozen blueberries
Blend together and enjoy!
My daughter saw me making it and said, Ewww, you are putting lettuce in your smoothie? The next day, she said, Oh, you are putting lettuce in your smoothie? I want some!0 -
BUMP!
I normally have a protein bar but a friend at work is trying to get me off of them so... yeah... looking for more ideas that I can get ready in under 10 minutes!0 -
Isosensation Cafe Brazil - tastes just like coffee with milk, is 93% whey protein and is just delicous.0

How does this have two pages without one mention of tuna (unless I missed it). Awesome protein content, low calorie, low fat, and good for omega 3s!
Often I'll just mix a can in with my eggs for a protein powerhouse for breakfast!0 -

Thank you for all of the great ideas!!
Im not really a fan of Greek yogurt so I feel like thats another one that would be forced down.
I ended up going to Walmart on my lunch and picked up some Jillian Michaels vanilla whey protein powder (since it was only $10) so Im going to start experimenting with some morning shakes.0 -
