Hi: I'm not much of a breakfast eater, but know I should eat something w/
protien. What I eat is 2 pieces of string cheese. Gives me about 15 grams
of protien, and I can eat it on the go...

I've seen someone else post that they have had an open faced egg mcmuffin.
They take the top of the muffin off and have the egg, cheese and canadian
bacon. lots of protein.

I use Procell and put it in the blender with a piece (about 1/2) of a
banana, any other type of fruit I have on hand (i.e. berries, plums,
apricots, cherries, etc.) and about 1/2 of a carton of the blue label
Yoplait yogurt. Give it a whir and I have the Mondo Protein
shake/smooothie to blast off with! (a sneaky way to get extra protein and
fruits in at the same time).

If you have a microwave I found in the freezer section at the store the new
breakfast bowls from Uncle Ben. You might want to check with the DR to see
if you can eat it but the one with ham,eggs and peppers has 17gr of protien
but 7% carbo. I am still pre-op and trying to figure out myself what is
high in protien and what's not healthy to eat. If you find something let me
know because I am just like you, no time for cooking in the morning when
you have to be at work at 6am..good luck!!

Two of my favorite are 3/4 cup cottage cheese and a bowl of fresh fruit
(you'll eat much less with your new little belly) and La Yogurt Light mixed
with 1/2 cup Grape Nuts. (I buy the store brand grape nuts b/c they are
cheaper and 40 less calories. Also my mom in law makes me a squash &
onion egg beaters omlette that I put on whole wheat bread. YUMMY!!

I cook up taco meat a lb at a time, and keep it in the fridge for quick
breakfasts. Add a little cooked rice to the meat for some body. Take the
cold taco meat, along with a beaten egg, and put it in the microwave for 45
seconds-1 min or so. Along side that, put in a flour tortilla (they have
low carb ones, if you like). Or, you can dump the whole mixture in a frying
pan for a until heated through. Put the mixture inside the flour tortilla,
add some shredded cheese, and eat! I also add salsa and sour cream, but you
don't have to to get a good breakfast. YUMMY! If you use 2 oz of meat, one
egg and 1/2 oz of cheese is over 25 grams of protein!

I was never much of a breakfast eater prior to WLS. My favorite "grab
n go" is a protein shake or bar. My favorite bars are Pure Potein by
Worlwide Nutrition. I order them online from netrition.com since I am in
Italy but I have seen them at GNC back in the states. They come in yummy
flavors like strawberry cheesecake, lemon chiffon, vanilla raspberry,
smores, etc. They have abot 260 calories, 6-7 carbs and 30g of protein. I
keep one in my purse at all times if I'm out and don't want to turn to high
fat or junk food. Some people knock them but they have helped me reach a
substantial weightloss. I am 10 months post op today and down to 127 (-110
pounds) and wearing a size 6. Take care and good luck! Ciao, Victoria
from Italy :)

Hi! I take a slice of swiss cheese (any cheese would do), put some mustard
or mayo on it. Then add a few slices of ham or turkey. Roll it up, put it
in a baggie and have breakfast on the go. Add some milk and up the protein
more. Peanut butter on toast, egg, tuna or chicken salad on toast or
crackers. Go Lean has a cold protein cereal that you can just munch on.
Good. Luck!
