Protein Packed Breakfasts!

Chris1980 Posts: 67 Joined: 2000/12/16	2001/04/15, 02:17 AM Guys, Being someone that has had trouble eating breakfast, ever since starting my program, I have been having trouble finding a variety of breakfasts to enjoy. Does anyone have any breakfast secrets that they can share that are packed with protein in them?

I always go one day with tuna one day with eggs and sometimes oatmeal but I found out that after having oatmeal I get hungry very fast..... that`s why I stick with tuna and rice with lemon juice(to kill the smell)... it keeps me up for three hours no prob.

Speaking of Mex-how about some beans,rice;,etc. Oatmeal is great beside scrambled eggs, omelettes,add some raisins, touch of peanut butter, wheat germ, maybe some honey or molasses. Nice big glass of no-fat milk. If you make your own pancakes substitute some protein powder. The skys the limit.

If you are hungery every few hours, just eat....the reason you get hungery is because your body needs food....give her some fuel!

lmkarl Posts: 2 Joined: 2001/03/20	2001/05/21, 06:56 AM Hey there! Give these "flapjacks" a try ... take 6 egg whites, 1/2 c. no fat (or low fat) cottage cheese,1 capfull vanilla extract, 1/2 capfull almond extract and 1/2 cup rolled oats. Mix up in a blender for about 30 seconds and then cook like normal pancakes on a non-stick griddle. This recipe makes about 6 flapjacks depending on the size. I like to top mine with a no sugar added syrup, or a fruit sauce. They are a delicious alternative to oatmeal! Hope you enjoy. Lori

Except the shake, I have everything ready, the last night. I also sometimes have bread with butter or cheese. Try and have things that do not need to be prepared. Milk is good too.

It's odd but coco grape nuts as I call them are not to bad lol. -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
