Anyone have any suggestions for Breakfast ideas that are high in protien and are low in starch? I know eggs are high in protien, but I actually have a little bit of a hard time getting eggs down. So I am trying to find some things to eat for breakfast that are good for you and keep you full. My dietician tells us to eat 4 hours apart and absolutely no snacking in between. Which sometimes when I have oatmeal (starch), or a protien shake or yogurt for breakfast, I am really hungry within 2 hours. I don't have fill yet, but I am trying to eat better and need some ideas if you have any! I am hoping that once I start getting my fills, that a yogurt or protien shake will fill me up for longer! I hope this is the case anyway!

I have either Turkey Bacon or Turkey Sausage, and a Poached egg.

It's good too.

Carnitation Instant Breakfast is Good too.

I love carnation instant breakfast, but same thing, hungry after two hours. I am hoping a fill will help with that. But thanks for your input! Much appreciated!

When is your fill? I am always looking for stuff for breakfast also. My doctor said no more Protein shakes at all anymore unless it is the day after a fill. He said that i can do Protein Bars instead, just cant drink my calories anymore. At my fill someone mentioned a mini Quiche that you can make ahead of time. I will see if I can find it to post for you

Good luck!

Connie, please send me the quiche recipe when you get it. I would love to have it.

That would be great! I am not the best cook, but I am sure if I had a recipie, then I could figure it out. I get my first fill on 6/8.

This is what I have for breakfast: Chobaini greek yoghurt 0% fat with fruit; 2 teaspoons benefiber, 1/2 scoop vanilla whey isolate protein powder, splendra, 1/4 cup kashi go lean (high protein version). Mix the powder ingrediants then the cereal. I find if I mix and let sit for a 2-3 minutes it also firms up the yoghurt. I say about 25 g protein for about 250 cal.

Not sure if you tried the website theworldaccordingtoeggface but it has some yummy ideas that are egg free. Here's a link:

If you scroll down the home page there's breakfast items there.

Here are a couple items that I eat for breakfast with relevant nutrition information:

1. Low Fat Cottage cheese - 1/2 Cup is 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 13 grams of Protein

2. Pure Protein Bar - I like the smores and Peanut Butter flavor. The smores is 180 calires, 5 grams of fat, and 19 grams of protein. The

peanut butter is 200 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 20 grams of protein. I buy these at walgreens. They are perfect size for me (less than

2oz)

3. Boiled Egg with Low Fat Sargento Cheese: 120 total calories, 11 grams of fat, and 12 grams of protein

4. Boost Low Calorie chocolate Shake: 190 Calories, 7 grams of fat, 16 grams of protein

Hope this helps

Some days I still do a protein shake because it's quick (my nutritionist is ok with it as long as it is occaisional). My other favs are egg beaters with lauging cow cheese and turkey sausage, chobani yogurt and oatmeal (I try to keep my carbs below 40g per day so oatmeal and yogurt are not something I do often).

oops! I originally entered this wrong! anyway....!

Great suggestions! And thanks for the other info, too!

Best of luck to you. I'm day 5 post surgery.

I drink MUSCLE MILK LIGHT ( CHOCOLATE IS LOUSEY). The rest in powder form is good, some are real good.

Protein kills hunger. and for me, this stuff works.

So check it out on ebay, and see if you cas find

I know you said eggs are hard to get down but you might want to scramble some up with a little salsa or sauteed mushrooms and onions. Seems to help me.

I do turkey sausage crumbles with 1/2 cup egg whites. I heat the sausage crumbles for a minute and then add the egg whites (egg beaters type). Perfect amount and taste really yummy. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese and your good to go.

One of my favorites was a simple poached egg. There's a variety of seasonings if you need any, that will give an astonishing variety to the simple poached egg. I developed a taste for the microed egg with a splash of vinegar in the water cup. There's some mid-eastern herbs that add a world of flavor with 0 calories. Later phase, tiniest kernel of butter and I was pretty much satisfied for hours. Low fat elk sausage, just a 1/2 oz chopped up fine with an egg poured in to the 4" cast iron skillet, slow cooked, turned out on a plate with a few drops of tobasco.....yi!! great for the morning labors. probably not for those recently on solid foods though.
