Protein for breakfast? Help

So im trying to up my protein intake aswell as my fruit and veg '5 a day' and still stick to 15-1600kcals.

I dont eat things like muffins or cottage cheese or meat for breakfast and im looking for some ideas that are high or even medium in protein?

All i can think of is egg....boiled, poached, scrambled and peanut butter which is v.v.v.high in fat.

I love to eat oats but usually with a banana etc...this isnt high in protein is it?

Any advice, hope this is correct forum?

Thanks alot  xx

Add protein powder to your oatmeal.

A recent study found that the experimental group that had 2 fried eggs for breakfast instead of the control group's carb based breakfast lost more weight and experienced no change in cholesterol.  I adopted this strategy and fry the fastest eggs you've ever seen done every morning...max heat with a steam lid and very little margarine.  Done in about 3 mins.  Eaten 2 mins later.  My diet progress has been very good. 

Once I had my first 10 lbs off I started having cottage cheese for a snack in the mornings too most of the time.  Another small boost there and nice and filling.

Skim milk is a good source of protein, as are nuts.  Even oatmeal has some protein, but not much.

You might try the natural peanut butter, that has the oil sitting on top, and drain the oil off.

Eggs are good and very versatile.  Peanut butter is very good and you'd only use it in small amounts.  Milk and yoghurt are sources of protein.  You could have baked beans on toast.... beans are protein.  I sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on porridge (or oatmeal if you prefer) - seeds are protein.  If you like muesli that tends to have a few nuts in it... protein.   You say you don't eat meat for breakfast but a little lean, grilled bacon would be another good protein source.

Enjoy.

 

I don't know where you live, but in Canada, President's Choice make a breakfas cereal called "On track + Protein" and it's low in surgar and has 13g of protein/serving. It's really good too...!

I had Greek Yogurt the other day what was 0 grams of fat and 13 grams of protein. It was my first time eating it so it was different than the yogurts I'm used to eating, but I really liked it. It's sugar content was a little high because it had honey added to it.

I like sardines on toast for breakfast. Sardines not only have lots of protein but they have plenty of omega 3, calcium, and vitamin D. Very healthy:)

Farmers cheese, also called tvorog, is a great mix in with oatmeal. I also mix it with some greek yogurt and unsweetened cocoa and use it as a spread on a toast. Instead of oats you can also try buckwheat, kasha. Oh heck just make a sandwich with some turkey or chicken breast or something. When I was in Thailand I had grilled fish for breakfast, or some kind of noodle soup.

You can mix in eggwhites to your oatmeal. Just make your oatmeal(I do it int he microwave) So it cookes for 1.5 minutes or whatever, and then separate the egg yolk and white, and then stir in the eggwhite at the end. It is so good. And the heat cooks the egg. It makes your oatmeal fluffier and adds no extra fat just 4g more protein.

I know you said no cottage cheese but if you put 3/4 cup skim milk and 1/4 cup cottage cheese, a banana, and any other fruits, and sweetener of choice you have a very filling breakfast.

I like to add sliced almonds to my cereal.

Greek yogurt is ridiculously high in protein. The unflavored 0% kind has 130 calories and 23 grams of protein per cup. It's good with fruit.

Shakes = milk = protein. You can add extra protein powder, as well. Also an easy way to get fruit. Mmmm, and you can get so creative! Try all kinds of fruit. You can also experiment with flavorings like cinnamon, vanilla, peppermint, chocolate (cocoa powder), coffee, fruits flavors from Crystal Light, etc. This morning I made "pumpkin pie" with milk (I freeze some in ice trays and add that to the liquid), spices, and pumpkin. Yum. Add extra nonfat dry milk for more protein and a malt-like taste.

Cereal can be good. High protein kinds include Kashi and the Speical K Protein products. Milk adds protein.

What's wrong with eggs? They're really not high in fat, and soo versatile! (If you don't like plain whites, a low-fat, high-protein, lots-of-veggies option is an omlette with an egg or two, veggies, and soy meat.) A large egg is only something like 80 calories and is a complete protein with tons of vitamins (if you don't take out the yolk). You should consider it. :)
