Many breakfasts are mostly carbs: toast, cereal, pastries, juice. They taste good, but you are often hungry again by mid-morning. Adding protein is one of the simplest ways to fix that.
Why protein in the morning helps
- Protein keeps you full for longer, so you snack less before lunch.
- It helps you keep muscle while losing weight.
- It makes your daily protein goal much easier to reach.
How much is in a good protein breakfast?
One large egg has about 6 g of protein. Two eggs plus a pot of Greek yogurt get you past 25 g before lunch.
Easy ideas
- Scrambled eggs on wholegrain toast
- Greek yogurt with berries and a handful of nuts
- Cottage cheese with fruit
- An omelette with vegetables and a little cheese
- Overnight oats made with milk and a scoop of yogurt
