Ideas for breakfast protien?
Hi all, just wondering if anyone had any ideas about what kind of protien to eat at breakfast..something to fill me up and keep me going till lunch?
I'm trying to somewhat change my usual breakfast meal of toast (or some other bread) and fruit...i've never been much for breakfast. lately i have been having a few eggs, but i get sick of that real fast, plus it's kinda fatty.
any ideas for a healthy, protien/fiber packed breakfast would be much appreciated.

Peanutbutter toast? Cheese toast?
I put nuts in my raisin bran for more protein. Toasted cheese is also my friend. You could try cheese spreads: cream cheese, neufchatel cheese (1/3 the fat of cream cheese), pimento cheese, ricotta. Or maybe a bowl of cottage cheese with a sprinkle of seasoning (cinnamon and sugar if you're a sweet eater, mexican seasoning if you like it salty) or maybe yogurt of some form.
Others have suggested mixing peanut butter with your oatmeal.
Of course you could always whip out the bacon. Turkey bacon of course.

I'm a big fan of Morningstar Farm's breakfast patties. They are tasty, like little vegetarian sausage patties. I've even had dedicated carnivores say they are quite good!
Another thing I'll do is put some of my wife's homemade granola (lots of protein in those, soy flour, peanut butter, nuts, etc etc) in with some yogurt.

Some things that I like for breakfast:
Cold, broiled salmon with raw sugar snap peas.
Caprese salad: Buffalo Mozerella and Grape Tomatoes with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper, and optional splash of balsemic vinegar. (I had this one today and it was YUM)
Low fat cottage cheese with cut up raw broccoli and cauliflower.
Smoothies are always good if you have the time to whip out the blender. I make them with bananas and ice and milk. I don't care for the ones with yogurt.
Low fat ricotta with blueberries and splenda. Really, any fruit with ricotta and splenda rules. Or peanut butter mixed in. This was the only thing useful I came away with from the Southbeach Diet.
Low fat Triscuits and low fat cheese, with a crisp Gala apple.
One of Amy's brand organic burritos.

Here are some regulars for me:
1. Toasted mestemacher black bread with cheese and nuts (and salad if there is any leftover from last nights dinner, or cooked vegetables). I often "toast" this all up together in my cast iron skillet (lubricated with a bit of olive oil). Cashews are unbeatable. A piece of fruit or fresh squeezed juice on the side.
2. Some reasonably healthy cold cereal with whole milk, diced fresh fruit and nuts (pecans are unbeatable).
The big common protein motifs are dairy and nuts. I'm a big fan of oatmeal, but I usually save that for lunch. I usually save eggs (and bacon!) for the weekend because it's too much of a production weekday mornings. I sometimes have pate or liverwurst on my mestamacher, which I understand may be too intense for non-teutons.

I'll have to agree with Freakwitch on this one - being a vegetarian, I always get my protein from vegetarian patties, which I think taste delicious. They offer good taste without as much and cholesterol. I'm also a fan of Morningstar Farms, and if you want to pay a little more, Amy's Kitchen has some amazing products!

A good trick is to cook a little extra dinner the night before and have that.
Stew / Mince on toast is yummy.
Chicken / fish fillet with some salad on a roll is also a great one.
To find interesting alternatives try and get away from the thought pattern that breakfast has to be from a set group of foods.

I tried a sausage patty from Morningstar Farms today and it was yummy! I have to admit that i was skeptical...i tried Boca Burgers before and they were NASTY!!! But these sausages are good! I had one with some scrambled eggs and toast and it tasted just like a regular sausage! And i stayed "full" for a long time...i will definately be eating these again!
Thanks guys!
