High Protein Breakfast Ideas

[Punkie]

Mine is very nutty. I'm not sure about the original recipe. You could enter it into one of the recipe programs and it'd give you the nutritional info.

Here's another high protein bkfst. idea.

Bread Spornge (yes, Spornge)

Cube a slice or two of ww bread (this is how i use up the "heels" of bread or other dry scraps)
Saute in Earth Balance or butter until lightly browned
Stir in 2 eggs (I use 1 egg per slice of bread, roughly)
Stir until eggs are cooked

Ds likes this with ketchup.

Don't want to lose this thread as I was just pondering this question this morning.

This is a link to Alton Brown's home made protein bars. Once we get done moving, I plan on making a bunch of these to go in the freezer. When I saw him make these on TV he gave the breakdown of protein, fat, etc. But I don't see it included in the recipe.

Thanks for that link Maggie's Mom. Those look very good. Can't wait to try it.

Am I the only one who likes chicken for breakfast?

I like to keep a cooked diced chicken breast in the fridge and then in the morning I heat it in a pan with a frozen black bean mix (black beans, tomatoes, onions and corn) It's pretty good and really filling.

I also like to make diced chicken with veggies. Usually zucchini, peppers and onions. Also tomato, mushroom and brocolli. Very filling with potatoes and cheese too.

Also, homemade Sausage biscuits. 1 ww english muffin, 1 cooked sausage patty, 1 cooked egg and 1 slice of cheese. You can make them in advance and keep them in the freezer. Takes one minute in the micro and they are ready to eat. Super yum. I haven't gotten to have one in ages though

sounds like my guys. they like it when i make "mcmuffins" ala mcdonalds.

and your first suggestion's making me hungry.

I just started reading "Potatoes Not Prozac" so I am still on the food journal part of my journey. This question is for everyone who is eating a high protein breakfast... Exactly how does your day go and how do you feel if you skip the protein in the morning? Just wondering cuz all I had this morningwas cereal and I feel HORIBBLE!!!!!

I can tell you, ds gets much more moody and difficult when he doesn't have the protein - and not just for breakfast. As for myself, I just feel "empty" inside and ready for lunch by 10:45 AM! Then I feel like a wet noodle. And then I crave sugar b/c I need energy.

I have heard that's a good book.

Where do find quinoa and flax seed at the grocery store. What else is it with?

Quinoa should be in with the grains, rice and such, and flaxseed in with flour. (That's how it is in our grocery anyway .) Does your store have a "natural" section? Ours does, and I find both items there.

Thanks so much. I have really been wanting to get it but I never have time to look around for it. Always spending half the time in the store messing with my baby girl. Hopefully I can find it pretty fast when I go in there next time.

It is *so* hard to concentrate when you are with your little one...even a laid-back little one. I have gotten home and been like because I got the wrong kind of corn meal or something, or because I forgot some item.

You can read a transcript of the show here. (BTW- I have broken the link because a friend of ours does this site and I didn't really want it showing up for him to come read my posts )

It does tell the info:
