I love eggs, but I'm getting sick of them. What do you eat to get your morning protein, other than protein shakes? I'm looking for food/recipe ideas rather than adding protein powder to random things.

    I also eat Greek yogurt. My favorite is Oikos nonfat strawberry fruit-on-the-bottom. It has 12g protein.

    chicken, steak, or tuna... u can eat any type of protein for breakfast but if you are looking at "breakfast type foods" then eggs and protein shakes are pretty much the norm because eggs are accociated with breakfast even though i eat them at all times of the day, and protein powder is good for shakes which is what people like consuming in the morning.

    Lately I've been eating a whole wheat english muffin (about 5 grams of protein) and some peanut butter (about 8).

    Socially, the prescribed norm is eggs. I eat anything for breakfast. I love dinner leftovers for breakfast!

    I make a real fruit smoothie and add one egg to it (raw, local farm raised and healthy)
    **And no I am not worried about salmonella, if its from a healthy farm, and you are a healthy person, even if it had it your body fights it off no problem. My grandma and one of my friends have done it since they were little And they are very healthy. **
    (People freak when they see the word raw sometimes)
    The more you cook the egg the more it destroys the good things in it, that people eat the egg for in the first place.

    So i just blend a bunch of real fruit with some orange juice and then put th eegg in mix it up and drink it, Its awsome. Tons of protein and other good vitamins.

    Oh yeah and the flax seeds.

    I like cottage cheese on toast or with fruit. Yogurt is also good especially with fresh fruit.
    There are lots of ways to eat eggs. I like poached on toast, scrambled and in an omelet. I have been meaning to try french toast. Soaking the bread overnight gives you more protein with less carbs.
