Protein Filled Breakfast

What is a good source of protein that I could eat for breakfast? (I am a picky eater and don't have eggs in the house.) Also can it please be low cal. Just something on the side to go with my cereal.

nuts

Low-fat/fat-free cottage cheese is low-cal and has a good amount of protein. You could also put some protein powder in a small fat-free and sugar-free yogurt cup... silken tofu blended with a few berries is also good.

Any thing else you can think of please? I hate nuts!

Kashi makes some delicious products... Cereals (W/ Fat-Free Milk) would be a protein powerhouse... They also make Blueberry waffles that are really delicious...

There's all sorts of forums out there already with loads of info on protein... You should do a search for them...

I agree with the Kashi products.  Luna bars are also good for protein.

low fat/fat free yogurt
whole grain bread/bagel/english muffin
low fat cheese
ground flax seeds added to cereal, yogurt, etc
(but you might not like them cuz they have a nutty taste)

I seriously second the l/f cottage cheese -
If you're a fruity, sweet person, add some splenda
If you're a savoury fan, spread it on toast or jsut mix it in.

Try low before no fat. If you dont like the lumps, get it creamed or mix it yourself.

I LOVE the stuff, its good with EVERYTHING, yougrt, on top of porridge, in samwhiches. I've had it three times today (brekkie, lunch and a snack)

If you really hate it no-fat yougrt it good. Get it plain and mix in your cereal or dip fruit in. I make my own and use diet jam or honey to sweeten

Soy products are high protein. Even just having a glass of ff soy or normal milk will give you a good protein boost. Lower the fat, more protein (plus sugar, but a lot is lactose, so I dont mind too much). Some cereals are soy based too.

What about a little bit of cheese? Or a slice of 100% whole grain toast with a little topping (you don't like nut, so you probably don't like peanut butter, eh?)?

Sprouts.  Just about any kind you can think of.  Sprouts are almost universally dense in nutrients, amino acids, and enzymes, while being almost universally low in calories.

Quinoa sprouts in particular are good.  They start out high in protein, but when you sprout them you activate amino acids and enzymes in an even greater variety and way higher bioavailability.  You can eat a huge bowl of these raw or cooked, topped with some honey or whatever you like, and it'll hardly break the calorie bank.

Don't forget -- it's not *how much* protein you consume, but *how good* the quality of the protein is.  To put it another way:  You are what you eat is inaccurate; it should be "you are what you absorb".

Thanks for alll your suggestions. My bio teacher always says "you are what you eat." I never quite understood that and always joked that I was a bowl of cheerios! lol
