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!

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/

Re: High Protein Breakfast Ideas
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.

Re: High Protein Breakfast Ideas
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.

Re: High Protein Breakfast Ideas
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. |

Re: High Protein Breakfast Ideas
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. |
