Default High Protein Breakfast Ideas

Quite a few of us are focusing on eating a high protein / complex carb breakfast, and I thought it would be great to have a thread to list breakfast options!

Default Re: High Protein Breakfast Ideas

I am so pitiful that I made a chart of how much protein things contain

I figured out that if I have
1 C of oatmeal (6 g protein)
2 T peanut butter (9 g protein)
2 T walnuts (2 g protein)
2 T ground flax seed (2 g protein)

that makes 19g of protein so I am pretty good with that.

I also figured out if I have
2 slices toast (4 g each = 8 g protein)
2 T peanut butter each (9 g each = 18 g protein)
I have 26 g protein so that is even better

And if I have
1 C quinoa with butter it's 22 g protein

I also have wierd ideas about what's tasty so I figured out my squash/garbanzo bean dip is about
8 g protein per serving
If I have two open pieces of toast with 2 servings dip I'll have 24 g protein

Not quite as high I as need but better than I was and I am trying to build slowly.

can you see I am overanalyzing this. It's hard cuz I don't like meat and I don't do dairy so I have nuts, seeds, grains and eggs left. Well, I can only eat so many eggs so. . . . .

Here's a website with protein grams if you don't have them on cans/jars/packages http://www.nutritiondata.com/

How much protien is in popcorn anyway?

I'm eating spinach dip right off my finger...too bad the finger doesn't count towards my protien.

a little turkey sausage instead of cheese and teh breakfast wrap is about what I eat. Failing that, two boiled eggs, one piece of whole grain/whole wheat toast w/some peanut butter.
It will keep me until about one pm which is good cause I can feed the girls, nurse Ri and get her down to her nap without snapping (much) or feeling like I will faint, which happens if I just eat oatmeal and walnuts or something. I must need high, high protein.

How about these pancakes:

6 eggs
1.5 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup flour (I use whole wheat.)

Blend in blender then cook like normal pancakes. They are really yummy, taste almost like sourdough.

we just eat eggs in their various states- boiled, devilled, boiled and chopped up with butter, salt, and pepper (with whole wheat toast), scrambled, fried, etc... sometimes ds will eat yogurt and cottage cheese too.

I'm always starving an hour after breakfast. The egg wrap sounds great, but I don't know if I could do salsa in the morning.

What kind of oatmeal do you use? Do you make it with water or milk? Any sweetener? Can it be done in the microwave?

That sounds awesome!! I think it's something my four year old would go for, I have a hard, hard time getting her to eat protein in the morning and she crashes and yo-yos all day long if she doesn't! How many does that make?
