What do you eat in the mornings to get your protein in?

Just looking for some new ideas not just for breakfast but overall. Would love to hear some of your meal plans from those that have been successful in their journey.

I'm having a protein shake, but I need something new.

My usual breakfast is two eggs. Sometimes if I am in a time crunch I just grab a premier protein drink.

I have a Cinnamon Twist Combat Crunch protein bar every morning for breakfast. On the rare occasions I go out for breakfast, I will have one scrambled egg with some feta cheese melted in and a little breakfast sausage.

I only drink my Protein shake for breakfast ...

lunch is a P3 ...

snack is peanuts ...

Protein Shake on the drive home ...

dinner is meat of some sort ...

snack is either a SF fudgesicle or 1/2 of a Protein Bar ...

and lots of Water of course!

that is pretty much it for me ...

too scared to venture to new foods right now ... did that a couple of times and didn't feel the best afterward ...

so i'll stick with what I know for now :)

EAS Protein drink (I take my meds with that) and followed by a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese

walmart or dannon light and fit yogurt with 1/2 scoop unflavored protein to get total of 30 grams

string cheese and lunch meat

sometimes a protein bar - trying to cut back on them. New fav is the power crunch salted caramel with a cup of coffee.

My go-to breakfast is a hard-boiled egg. It's quick and easy and I can grab it on the go. My kids love them too so I always have a supply in the fridge.

I tend to mix things up frequently ... can't eat the same thing too long or I get bored & cravings kick in. Here are some of my go to's:

5 oz greek yogurt with Protein powder (adds an extra 10g) w/ small bits of fruit or berries

1/2c cottage cheese (+powder) with diced peaches

1 scrambled egg with salsa & cheese

1 chicken sausage - large (favs are the spinach & feta or apple)

1 tuna packet (premade) or 1/2c with fat free caesar dressing instead of mayo

1/2c chicken salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo & Mrs. Dash seasoning/flavor

In a rush I will have a Protein Drink (either EAS or Syntrax nectar fruit flavored) or when we are traveling I order a plain bagel with sausage, egg & cheese and have them put the cheese between the egg & meat. I give the hubby the bagel and eat just the egg and meat.

How far out are you?

These are my standards-overnight oats with protein powder mixed in, scrambled eggs, protein pancakes, a protein shake or bar.
