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 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 =)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
