Any ideas for good on the go breakfasts with Protein?

I have always just had a Protein Shake for Breakfast. I tend to be pretty tight in the mornings and I've never been a breakfast person anyway. A Protein shake is easy for me to sip while I'm busy getting kids off for the day and doing stuff around the house.

If I have time I eat turkey sausage links and egg beaters.. sometimes it's greek yogurt with a little granola or a Protein shake.. it all depends on how much time I have ... I don't stay as satisfied with the yogurt as I do with the sausage and eggbeaters though....

There are some great Protein bars that are good on the go. I found one (Quest Bar) that has 21 grams of Protein, 17 grams of Fiber, and only 5 net carbs. But I'm with Sharpie.....the only thing that really holds me, is eggs and turkey sausage, or eggs with an ounce of melted cheese. When I say "eggs", for me, it's really only one egg.

Another suggestion is making a bowl of egg salad. In a pinch, it's quick and easy to scoop some out into a to-go cup, and be on your way.

I saw those for the first time when we were there a couple of weeks ago. I had the bag in my hand, but then thought...what am I going to do with ALL these eggs...they'll go bad. I didn't realize that they last that long. Okay.....on my list :)

I put a scoop of chocolate Protein powder in my coffee....it kills two birds with one stone.

Does the Protein Powder dissolve, or does it clump? I tired putting unflavored Protein powder in Soup, and it was a total mess.....had to throw it out.

If you are using Unjury you need to be careful about the temperature. I think the label says you shouldn't put it in anything over 140 degrees, but I always make sure that if I am using Unjury I cool it down to at least 130 degrees. But right now I am using Body Fortress from Walmart, and that dissolves really easily.

I have a ready-to-drink Protein Shake and Greek yogurt every single morning. It's boring but I stay satisfied for 4-5 hours.

They're great for deviled eggs cuz I hate boiling, peeling eggs.

That's good to know....about Body Fortress. I was using nectar, and it was disgusting.

I usually have coffee in the morning, and then around 10am a Protein Bar. That holds me till lunch time.

I stock up on Atkins Advantage shakes and bars for when I don't have time to make a scrambled egg. Sometimes I make a coffee (hot or iced) and eat a Mini Babybel Light cheese (I buy the huge bag from our local warehouse store). For when I'm home I found that WeightWatchers SmartOnes's has some good breakfasts that fit with the program as well...Good luck =)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
