Protein for Breakfast?

It is important to get the right amount of protein in, in order to be energized throughout your day. As I have mentioned in previous posts, carbs I like to eat earlier on in the day, so that way I have
more energy, and I am feeling good...same goes for protein, EXCEPT the healthier foods tend to have more protein, so it is fine to eat a higher amount of protein than carbs, just as long as you are throwing fruits and veggies into the mix along with it =)

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! You should not skip breakfast, because if you do, it could determine your weight. In other words, you will eat more throughout the day if you do not eat breakfast period. Eating a healthy breakfast, and one being packed with protein, will help you stay fuller, longer. Therefore, you will not be eating as much throughout your day, and your eating habits will be pretty regular. If you think that skipping breakfast will help you eat less calories/lose weight, think again! You are only going to be doing the opposite if you decide to skip the most important meal of the day!

Protein plays an extremely important part in repairing cells, and creating healthy organs and muscles!! I know I have mentioned what I eat for breakfast before, but below are some protein-packed breakfasts that I loooove to eat and that keep me pleasantly filled until lunch time!


  • Egg white omelette with turkey (or turkey bacon), spinach, broccoli, red and green peppers.
  • Same thing ^^^ just in a whole wheat wrap (this makes me super super full)
  • Oatmeal with strawberries, blueberries, banana, shaved coconut.
  • Acai bowl (these I usually buy at the organic food places by my office, but I will be making my own very soon and posting my homemade recipe =). Acai bowls usually include acai (which is a give-in, strawberries, blueberries, banana, coconut.
  • Scrambled egg whites (2 or 3 eggs) with whole wheat toast or Wasa bread.
  • Whole or Rye toast with organic peanut butter.
