In case you don’t know, I want to tell you … PROTEIN IS THE QUEEN MACRONUTRIENT.  If you want to lose weight and maintain nice muscle tone WITHOUT fighting hunger pangs and out of control cravings, getting enough protein each day is a MUST.

Your success in getting enough protein begins with your fist meal of the day.  Eating a low protein, high starch breakfast sets you up for runaway hunger and cravings for MORE CARBS as the day continues.  It gets increasingly harder to slow down the carb fest and get in the protein when you don’t start the day off right.  For that reason, I am giving you 8 ways to get AT LEAST 20 grams of protein with breakfast without eating dinner for breakfast.

EIGHT PROTEIN RICH BREAKFAST OPTIONS

  • 2 eggs + 2 ounces of ground turkey (scrambled and served over rice)
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt (layered with berries and sprinkled with walnuts
  • 1 egg + 6 egg whites (hardboiled and served with a bowl of oatmeal)
  • 1 egg + 3 egg whites + 2 slices of Applegate Farms turkey bacon (served on Ezekiel bread)
  • “Sweet Tacos” (substitute cottage cheese peach spread instead of Greek yogurt and strawberry spread)

Enjoy these breakfast ideas and feel free to share them with friends.
