Protein Guide
High-protein breakfast ideas that actually fill you up
Breakfast is the meal most people under-eat protein at — small swaps close the gap fast.
| Breakfast | Approx. protein |
|---|---|
| 3 eggs + 1 cup cottage cheese | ~40 g |
| Greek yogurt (1 cup) + handful of almonds | ~25 g |
| Protein smoothie (1 scoop powder + milk + fruit) | ~30 g |
| Oats made with milk + scoop of protein powder | ~30 g |
| Tofu scramble (200g) + vegetables | ~16 g |
| 2 eggs + 2 turkey sausage links + toast | ~28 g |
A simple pattern: pick one protein-dense anchor (eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, or a protein powder) and build the rest of the meal around it, rather than treating protein as an afterthought.
