What's the best protein for breakfast?

[ttkels]

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas! Just got my Fitbit Force and am wondering what's the best protein for breakfast? I make my own breakfast smoothies during the week and usually add protein powder to them. Right now I have Pure Protein Whey 25 mg, I bought this from Walmart. Is one protein powder better than the other?

Back to the origninal question... Best protein for breakfast.   I mix it up but my favorite is 2oz. chicken breast,  1/4 avacado and 1 poched egg.  It sticks with you until lunch and not a lot of carlories.  I'm getting good at poching eggs in the microwace.  Yes, it can be done.

Love hard boiled eggs or cottage cheese and a few walnuts

My new favorite 'supplements' (I say that because I don't consider it an actual food) is Reserveage Organics "Grass-Fed Whey" - particularly the vanilla flavor.

• Calories = 120 / Calories from fat = 15
• Total fat = 2g
• Cholesterol - 50mg
• Sodium - 45mg
• Potassium - 110mg
• Total Carbohydrate - 6g
• Fiber - 1g
• Sugars - 2g
• Protein - 20g

As for real food? EGGS! You can prepare them in so many ways. Today, I sliced an onion into rings and set them in the frying pan, cracked the eggs into the rings, and seasoned them with sea salt, pepper, and garlic. I should have let the onions cook a little longer before adding the eggs, but otherwise it was excellent!

Thank you. Your answer was educational.

Hi! I am newly exploring the various fitbit communities and came across this one. I like that there is the focus on nutrition as well, as that is the biggest component to weight loss. I have found that my protein shake for breakfast is the best choice I can make. I am not a morning person and it is a much better alternative to not eating at all or going through the McD drive thru. I have done a overhaul of my nutrition and now am eating clean foods and utilizing a system to help me. 

4 months ago my life was leaving me run down. Working FT and Grad school FT I was exhausted, day dreaming about naptime at 12 in the afternoon. Shopping for clothes is difficult. One of the worst experiences was riding on an airplane for the first time in years and struggling to fit into my seat. Something had to give. A family friend introduced our family to this nutritional system designed to provide amazing support to help us in achieving our goals. I began to use the products with my boyfriend in conjunction with a change in overall eating and wellness habits. I feel better than I have in a long time. Officially I have released 50.4 pounds since starting July 6th. But it is more than my weight that has been affected but my mood and outlook on life, ability to handle stress, and improved relationships all have benefited my overall wellbeing. Now I want to share this amazing opportunity with everyone. I struggled so much and am so thankful that I’m relieving those struggles.

Try taking some frozen spinach (remember it will cook down in size) and zap it in the microwave.  Then spoon cottage cheese over the top.  Yummy - and it is dense in vitamins and minerals, too.

Breakfast isn't something that I regularly get to eat unless I wake up early, in a rush I make some rolled oats with milk and a little honey on top. It is delcious and protien full. On the weekends I made some protien powder pancakes with a little honey and fruit on top!

Good for you!  I am sending you a cyber-hug to let you know I admire how you are taking charge of your body and your life.  We need to treat our bodies with the respect and love they deserve; after all, they are loyal buddies who will be with us all through our lives.

I just tried turkey bacon.
Not bad 🙂

[HelenaFitbit]

I'm more of a chewer rather than a drinker at breakfast, a smoothie usually doesn't cut it for me. 

I boil turkey sausages, eggs or grains the night before and I pack it in my bento box.

I enjoy steel cut oatmeal

My best morning protein, is Egg whites!! I make them a thousand different ways.. 

with real bacon on the side

but I add to the egg whites

spinach 

peppers

tomatoes 

if you have a medium size pan you can make a egg white pizza and its sooo good and very low fat. 

2 slices of whole grain bread and done deal for breakfast!

I use organic brown rice protein powder which is easier for most people to digest. "This easily digestible protein provides an extensive array of naturally occurring amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Ideal for individuals who suffer from food allergies and digestive difficulties."

I will admit it doesn't blend as smoothly as whey protein so I blend it a bit longer and add a few more berries to it to sweeten it up - I always buy vanilla flavored. You can find it most anywhere. I do believe it is healthier and better for you when you compare nutrition labels.

We do a lot of eggs, GF toast with organic honey and organic PB, GF chicken sausage (no nitrates-we get this from Costco), nitrate free canadian bacon (Costco), omelettes-you can do a meat in them or saute tomato, spinach, feta, throw that in there. 

[HelenaFitbit]

@mommamaze  That omelette sounds yummy!!

I just found out i am sensitive to whey protein.  Is thier another protein for a women that you suggest?  of course this is to lose weight. 

[cd27]

good suggestion.  what type of cottage cheese do you buy?

[mommamaze]

I would highly recommend JuicePlus Complete Protein Shake. You can add it into smoothies and or just mix with like almond milk or something. Here is a video on it.

Hi, I too am gf and found that I couldn't eat a lot of the commercially produced protein powders. There is a local food co-op in my area as well as an herbalist, both sell hemp and chia. They help me get protein without the stuff I don't want. I add it to fruit and veggie smoothies for breakfast in the summer. Thought I would mention it if you ever wanted to change up your breakfast a bit.☺
