I wanted to add some suggestions

Kashi Go Lean cereal has 13 grams of protein and 10 grams fiber per cup. I actually measure it out because more than 10 grams of fiber would be too much of a colon blow Since it's only 140 calories, I add another type of cereal (I like Weetabix lately), so that generally adds a couple more grams of protein. Add 1 cup of cow or soy milk, and you're up to 22-23 grams of protein.

Another easy way to add protein is to have high-protein snacks with your breakfast. Sometimes, I add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to my breakfast or have it for snack, with 1/4 cup of soy nuts. The cottage cheese has 14 grams of protein and the soy nuts have 11-14, plus 8 grams of fiber. That's 25-28 more grams of protein right there.

Another good option for breakfast is eggs and toast. I buy Ezekiel bread. It's made from sprouted grains (not flour), and is high in fiber and protein. The average slice has 80 calories, with 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. I actually prefer the sesame version, but couldn't find a picture. The raisin version is really good too, especially with peanut butter. I get cage-free eggs with Omega fats. 6 grams of protein per egg, plus lots of healthy fats. So with 2 eggs and 2 slices of toast, we're up to 20 grams of protein. I sometimes supplement with egg whites, 6 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. That's 26 grams of protein. Add a couple veggie sausage links to that, and you add 9 grams of protein (we're up to 35!).

Adding a serving of dairy helps. Other good high-protein snacks include yogurt (10-13 grams of protein per cup), cheese sticks or slices of cheese (protein varies, usually around 8 grams per ounce), or a glass of milk (also usually around 8 grams per ounce).

Smoothies make a good breakfast as well.

To summarize:

1 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal: 13 grams of protein
