I love queso blanco fried in butter paired up with sliced tomatoes.

Some of my favorites:

  • string cheese
  • sugar-free Greek yogurt
  • frozen sausage patty (or the meatless Morningstar ones are surprisingly good)
  • breakfast burrito with eggs and bacon in a WW wrap-- I make them and freeze in advance
  • protein bars, look for 10g protein per 100 cal; I like Quest bars and Think Thin chocolate ones
  • smoothie with protein powder
  • nuke an egg, some shredded cheddar, and a bit of taco sauce for an omelette

I typically eat leftovers for breakfast.  Since I never finish all my food and my family gets tired of the leftovers, I try to eat them for breakfast and lunch too.  I also eat Dannon Light & fit Greek yogurt with some Bare Naked protein granola.  One yogurt and one serving of granola is 22 grams of protein which is a lot more than an egg with cheese which is what I would eat before.  When I'm treating myself and know that I'll get more protein later in the day, I cook a jalapeno and a slice of bacon and then mix it with a scrambled egg and a garlic and herb laughing cow cheese.  I love it.

I have the same thing almost every morning- crackers with hummus, cheese, and roast beef.  I use 8 Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins (that's 1/2 a serving, 1.5g protein/65 cals), 2 TBS Sabra roasted garlic hummus (1g protein/70 cals), 1 oz Cabot sharp light cheddar cheese (8g protein/70 cals), and 2 oz fresh roast beef (nutritional info varies, but I count it as 15g protein/125 cals).  So I end up with 25.5g protein and 330 calories, for a breakfast that really fills me up and puts in a good place for my eating for the rest of the day.
