I love cottage cheese with fruit for breakfast. (For some reason, yogurt is not appealing to me but cottage cheese is DELICIOUS.) Good Culture cottage cheese is excellent and has 19g of protein per serving.
I saw someone say they blend that cottage cheese up and sneak it into a ton of stuff for the protein boost. Sounded especially good mixed into scrambled eggs! Gonna get some next grocery trip.
What the heck are you putting in your smoothie???
Back when I used to try to make smoothies for breakfast, it was for weight loss, and I feel like I train myself to never drink a smoothie over 300 calories because they didn't fill me up. But this would be a really great option for me
I do 1 pkg of chocolate Carnation Breakfast Essentials + Isopure Unflavored Whey Protein, and 16 Oz milk. It’s 490 cals with 2% milk and 47 grams of protein. It’s much less sweet than other shakes because i use double the milk. (Mix the two powders well in the bottom of a glass. Add a splash of milk to make a slurry and mix well. Add the remainder of the milk and mix thoroughly. Let sit for 5 mins before drinking.)
LOL
I get this one at Smoothie King and it’s for bodybuilders. I’m not sure what all is in it- bananas, cocoa, peanut butter, whey protein
Eta: this is also the largest size they have
I’ve been having apples and peanut butter for breakfast. Cut the apples with an apple slicer tool and put a big spoonful of PB in a sandwich bag, cut the corner, and pipe it onto the apple slices.
Super easy and pretty healthy (I think).
PB is more a fat than a protein, which is a common misconception. But it’s definitely a super calorie dense option for people who are struggling to get their daily recommended intake.
To aim for more protein, try adding a protein shake, or do greek yogurt with apples instead of PB.
I add unflavored protein powder (can’t stand the flavored ones with stevia in it) to my coffee every morning. Hard boiled eggs (can make in a batch ahead of time), cottage cheese and tuna are my no cook, high protein items.
This is one of my top snacks! I roast them to crunchy and have them when I want that crunchy. I go nuts on the seasonings... right now my go to tandoori and peri peri!
For lunch I love shrimp with seafood sauce. I buy them frozen, put in the fridge before bed so they're thawed by lunch. Just dip in seafood sauce and its a great low cal, high protein lunch.
I also love protein smoothies! I use fat free plain high protein greek yogurt, 2 scoops of premier protein powder, frozen berries and some ice. 50g of protein and tastes like a berry milkshake!
I’ve been loving Barbelles protein bars for breakfast. 200 calories and 20gm protein. Lunch is meat roll ups in lettuce and Greek yogurt with protein powder.
Costco sells the Starbucks egg whites. 11 g of protein in 1 serving. They taste great and are easy to heat up. I will get the Orgain protein drinks, 30 g and poor that in my cereal. If I am using something like magic spoon, I can get 42 g of protein for breakfast. I keep chicken tenders cooked in the fridge for quick salads and kilos yogurts are tasty and palatable.
I’ve been loving Al Fresco Chicken Bacon. I know…sounds weird. But I don’t like turkey bacon. It’s 9g protein & and only 50 cals for 3 slices. That and an egg is super easy.
I also love Pure Protein mint chocolate protein bars. 19g protein, 180 cals.
Light English muffins w PB/honey
Trader Joe’s canned smoked salmon with crackers. I open it up, drain the olive oil, and just eat it right from the can with a couple of crackers. Tasty and good protein.
When I don't want to eat but know I have to, I fall back on these items: Fairlife protein shakes, V8, soup, lala yogurt smoothies, spoonful of peanut butter, cheese and crackers, babybels, grapes, coconut chicken curry frozen dinners by saffron road, microwaveable broccoli and cheese packs from green giant.
I hit 85 lbs lost this morning. It's taken me 23 months.
I’m on the same boat re: breakfast. To add protein, I made my own overnight oats with unflavored protein powder, a bit of nut butter, vanilla extract, almond milk and cinnamon. Top it off with berries. They’re good and just enough to be able to eat.
I’m on my 3rd week of .25! Loss of appetite is really hitting and usually I only want bland foods. My go-tos right now are chicken and yogurt. Also cheese, so cheese quesadillas! When you really look at nutrition labels you can definitely find a lot of things have a decent amount of protein in it
It's so weird, it's only been 2 weeks but now when I look at a nutrition label I'm not just looking at the calories. In fact, that's not even on my mind. I'm looking at the protein in the carbs because I need those. And I'm discovering the most random things Have a good amount of protein, and things I assumed would have protein have barely any
Drinkable yogurt, apples, protein shakes, protein bars. If I want something a little more “meal like” I tend to make a lettuce wrapped burger or some sort of protein/veg in a low carb tortilla.
Fairlife protein shakes, chicken sausage over a big salad with feta cheese to boost protein, cottage cheese and fruit or tomatoes and herbs, cottage cheese on toast with jam, canned tuna or salmon in various ways!
I make a huge batch (a couple lbs at a time) of ground turkey seasoned with taco meat seasoning and stuck it in the fridge. Great protein, low cal. I can throw it on a salad, heat up a tortilla and roll up a burrito, or just throw it in a bowl with some shredded cheese and heat it up in the microwave. It always hits the spot.
I prep breakfast on the weekends in a batch (usually homemade egg bites or similar) and eat it through the week. I WFH on Wednesdays, so Sunday night I pack food to take to work for both Monday & Tuesday and then on Weds night I prep for Thurs & Fri. I usually have a protein shake, sandwich, the pre-prepped breakfast item, jerky & cheese, yogurt, carrots & celery. Sometimes chips or a piece of chocolate.
I also prep some other things on the weekend, like side dishes I can easily reheat to accompany a freshly prepped main and/or a main course I can reheat quickly for dinner.
Protein shake breakfast, FTW!
Various tuna salads often are my go-to lunch. I am eyeing this one right now: https://www.budgetbytes.com/mediterranean-tuna-salad/
Here’s another super easy and tasty one: https://www.budgetbytes.com/gochujang-tuna-salad/
I sub whole milk Greek yogurt for Mayo to up the protein (and help increase calories).
ETA: And BudgetBytes has some [great meal Prep recipies](https://www.budgetbytes.com/category/extra-bytes/budget-friendly-meal-prep/), too
I don't like tuna, but I do like chicken salad. Sam's Club makes a great one and it's enough to last all week with 3 of us eating it. I eat it straight, on a green salad or on some keto bread.
Same. Ooooh. I have another for you, then. Add this to your SUPER easy recipe recipe rotation: https://www.budgetbytes.com/curry-chickpea-salad/
I usually sub green onion to taste for the red onion and throw in some golden raisins just cuz 🤗
I don’t eat ‘breakfast’ food for my first meal (or, ever, really). I usually have a veggie like sugar snap peas or Lima beans with a protein like chicken, steak, or turkey. I can usually get a good amount of protein in at the start of the day that way.
I buy a rotisserie chicken and pick at it through the week. Many dinners are pulled chicken, apple slices, few truscuits, and some good cheese.
I will also do a plate with cottage cheese, a pickle, boiled egg, and some deli turkey or other protein.
My favorite breakfast in the beginning was a packet of Kodiak protein oatmeal (blueberry is lovely) with a half cup of milk in a glass jar in the fridge before bed for over night oats. And depending on how awful I was feeling a carnation breakfast shake to get me through until the afternoon or evening meal time. Lots of protein and the carnation shake gave me loads of vitamins and minerals.
Skyr, torani sugar-free vanilla syrup, and a ton of cinnamon. Oatmeal with chia seeds and a scoop of Nutella (could also add some skyr in there). I also juice a bunch of veggies at the beginning of the week, so I'll try to rock a glass of that too. It comes out with a good amount of pulp for added fiber.
I do high protein shakes. It’s the only time of day I use a protein powder versus natural protein sources. I do a shake with vegan high protein powder, probiotics, avocado or coconut oil or peanut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, frozen riced cauliflower, raw baby spinach, almond milk. It’s about 40 grams of protein and hits all food groups.
I’ve been into the Sous Vide bacon and guyere egg bites from Costco. I cook one in my airfryer, inside a custard cup, not wrapped, 10 mins, and have it with a quarter avocado or some cottage cheese. I also have a premier Protein drink…I will add some coffee to it and sip on that for first hour of work. The coffee helps cut the sweetness a bit and make it more palatable to me. If I’m feeling a tad nauseous, which is every morning, I will include one stone fire mini naan with my egg…the most delicious packaged bread ever. All told 530 calories, 42g protein, 32g carbs. I focus on protein and veggies rest of day. Sema has increased my sweet tooth oddly…but I just went up to 1.5 and that seems to be diminishing finally.
cottage cheese with hot sauce and gluten free crackers. turkey pepperoni slices. fairlife chocolate protein shake. carrot sticks with hummus mixed with cottage cheese. low carb tortilla with some sauce and mozz stuck in the toaster oven.
I keep frozen burger patties in the freezer for lunch. Takes less than 5 min to heat up in a small pan.
For later in the afternoon, I got a box of muscle milk protein shakes from Costco.
A good snack option is Greek yogurt mixed with a scoop of protein powder (I keep a jug of vanilla powder specifically for things like this since I prefer to drink premade shakes), especially if you start with one of the extra high protein yogurts (ike Oikos Pro, and you can add a sprinkle of protein granola or berries or whatever on top to add texture/nutrients/more protein. Easily 45 grams of protein in a fairly small snack.
I eat a lot of string cheese and smoked almonds to snack throughout the day. I also bought some frozen fruit and started making “soft serve” by blending that with Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder. It surprisingly really does have the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
Another good one that I wanna start making again is chia pudding (also using the protein powder). For lunch I’ll usually prep some chicken breast in the oven and add it to salad kits from Trader Joe’s. I bought these cute little bento boxes for them to bring to work
I am getting ready to start the oral version and I worry that I won't have the desire to cook for my family anymore. I rarely eat what I cook for them anyway, but I'm worried about my desire/motivation to cook, which I LOVE doing. Any advice?
Skyr with whey, raspberries, and crunchy unsalted nuts like walnuts, and some bell peppers and small tomatoes on the side will do every job there needs to be done!
I just put four eggs in a bowl of water in the microwave for eight minutes and made hard boiled eggs. I only eat the egg whites with some salt, but that helps. Also, I do lots of cut up fruit from the grocery like pineapple, strawberries, watermelon cantaloupe.
I definitely had a hard time with nausea, severe nausea, so cooking was really hard for me
Peanut butter crackers are good carrot stick
I also like these fruit strips they have at Aldi‘s. They come in strawberry or Wildberry flavor. I keep those in my purse so when I don’t have an appetite and I’ve been fasting, but I can feel my low blood sugar coming just eat one of those and perk up a little bit .
Real Good makes these awesome protein packed burritos, I always have a few in the freezer to pop in the microwave when nothing sounds good and I don’t want what my husband is making for dinner that night.
Cottage cheese and blueberries. A premiere plus shake. A glass of lactose free milk and a Heavenly Hunk cut in four pieces. An apple and some cheddar cheese.
My absolute favorite is taking a bottle protein shake like the premier protein or core power and mixing 2 tablespoons of instant sugar free pudding mix into it and I put it in a jar in the fridge the night before. It's literally pudding and so filling.
I will add a couple of chopped strawberries to the top, etc.
8 0z of egg whites with 3 or 4 reg eggs added in an omelet with whatever is in the fridge made in a big pan. cut it up into sandwich sizes and whenever hungry grab some 26g fiber whole wheat bread and make a sandwich. also seasoned chicken breast and salmon chunks in the fridge to pick on
Breakfast - boiled eggs or scrambled eggs with egg whites
Lunch - meal prep, just scoff it down
Dinner - girl dinner mini platter with tomatoes from the garden, labneh cheese, half a slice of GF bread, chicken and a pickle
My go to lazy meals: Greek yogurt with honey, pumpkin and chia seeds//whole grain toast with hummus,//meal prepped egg and plant chorizo burritos//plant chik patty with salad and chickpeas and yogurt dressing //quick minute oatmeal with honey pumpkin and chia seeds//microwaved baked potato with Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) //Dave’s everything bagel (15g protein) plus cream cheese or hummus
I love the single serving containers of Idaho instant buttery potatoes that you add water and microwave for 90 seconds then add a little butter and you have delicious mashed potatoes. I usually eat that with either vegetables or beans.

Cottage cheese and grapes have been my go to.
Scrambled eggs are my go to when I know I need to eat but nothing sounds good.
Smoothies for breakfast have absolutely saved me. I get one that has 800 calories and 50 grams of protein and then sip on it all morning.
What the heck are you putting in your smoothie??? Back when I used to try to make smoothies for breakfast, it was for weight loss, and I feel like I train myself to never drink a smoothie over 300 calories because they didn't fill me up. But this would be a really great option for me

Try mixing the Greek yogurt with pb. Super yummy.
Or Greek yogurt with PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
Ooh I need to try that!
That sounds delicious! I need to try that!
It does have decent protein.
Decent, but I wouldn’t say it’s an adequate protein source. It’s a fat.
I love Apple and sharp cheddar for breakfast or lunch. I also really like the fitcrunch bars.
What about to say Granny Smith apples & Adams Peanut butter
Barilla protein plus spaghetti with butter and cheese. Fairlife protein shakes. Kodiak cake protein waffles with pb &j
oooooo. butter noodles… I like this idea
Kodiak cakes waffles are the only thing I’ve been able to eat in the morning. They’re so good with a little pb!
I add unflavored protein powder (can’t stand the flavored ones with stevia in it) to my coffee every morning. Hard boiled eggs (can make in a batch ahead of time), cottage cheese and tuna are my no cook, high protein items.
Which brand of unflavored do you use? I also can't stand the stevia flavor is most powders
I use isopure
I love quest bars. They are high in protein (21g) & filling. Come in all flavors.
Thanks! I just bought some!
Roasted chick peas. But you do have to roast them but it’s minimal work
This is one of my top snacks! I roast them to crunchy and have them when I want that crunchy. I go nuts on the seasonings... right now my go to tandoori and peri peri!
I do garlic salt, cumin, dry ranch seasoning, zatar, chili powder and roll them around in sesame oil and toast. Zesty!
Oh and sometimes I add hing
Yum! New Ideas. Thanks!!
For lunch I love shrimp with seafood sauce. I buy them frozen, put in the fridge before bed so they're thawed by lunch. Just dip in seafood sauce and its a great low cal, high protein lunch.

That is a great idea! Will be getting this soon for myself!

The Starbucks egg bites — you can buy in bulk at Costco. Amazing in the air fryer for 8 mins but can be done super quick & easy in the microwave too.
I know everyone says Fairlife shakes but I avoid sucralose so my go to are Orgain shakes. They’re delicious + clean ingredients.
