I'm having such a difficult time getting in all the Protein I need, especially since I don't know what to eat for Breakfast. I can only do the shakes so often, sometimes I just want some food instead of a shake. Any ideas? What do you have for breakfast?

Thanks!!

Good Morning, I normally eat a boiled egg, and turkey sausage or turkey bacon. or egg whites and either meat

since you don't eat eggs try turkey sausage and bacon

I just had a bowl of Cream of Wheat with cut up dried fruit and a little

margarine in it. Toast with peanut butter isn't too bad. Some folks eat

Greek yogurt. There are several breakfast threads in the foods section.

I'm not much of a dry cereal eater, but a cheese danish would be good(joke).

I've tried eggs a few different ways and they always make me sick, so I know how you feel!

My favorite breakfast so far is a container of Greek yogurt with some Kashi Golean cereal mixed in. Lots of protein and no tummyache afterwards!

Thanks, I will definitely try all of these EXCEPT for the cheese danish. LOL! I didn't know there was a food thread on here, I will check it out.

I hate eggs. My band is usually tight in the morning so a protein shake or yogurt is all I eat.....plus two or three cups of coffee.

Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles that I put in a frying pan (about a 1/2 cup), heat it up, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and melt. I then put some salsa on top of the semi sausage/cheeseburger patty to help things slide down. After eating and waiting about 15 minutes, I have 8-12 oz of a choc protein shake using Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle w/ skim milk.

Steel Cut Oatmeal with protein powder, banana and almonds. Only a 1/4 total though, have a hard time eating in the morning.

A couple of egg alternatives that I eat are:

Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control (extra protein) made with a cup of 1% or skim milk

or

Greek Yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup of granola.

Greek yogurt with kashi go lean crisp in it!

I make a breakfast protien smoothie. I use 4 big scoops of yogurt, 2 large frozen strawberries, a third of a banana, a scoop of eas 100% whey protien powder i think 42 grams protien, 3 or 4 frozen crystal light ice cubes made of fruit punch, and some crystal light fruit punch juice to keep thinks runny. then i blend it all. You can not taste the protien. I also throw in my 2 vicoden since i can not swallow them. i can not take anything bigger than a tick tack. It makes a rather large size cup of yummy. It keeps me full for 2 to 3 hours even tho it does go right thru the band. i have only 1 fill and i do not have restriction. when i take my first break at work i eat 1 packet of oatmeal and a wedge of quiche i buy at the deli.

I eat greek yogurt mixed with granola and fruit-(sometimes) to thicken it up.

Wow thanks guys, I've actually saved all these idea and I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow! Can't wait to try the turkey sausage with cheese

1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fruit mixed in is one of my favorites! I often have to eat breakfast on the go, so I mix in one of the dole fruit cups (they're 1/2 cup servings, so no measuring needed). Make sure you get the fruit in it's own juice, not in heavy syrup.

I put a little bit of chocolate protein powder in my strawberry yogurt, and add frozen blueberries. This meal could replace ice cream if I was having a craving, I like it so much. PS I used to hate yogurt, and blueberries! Strange.
