Megan S replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"The amount of protein you need will depend on the type of protein. For example with cheese I was told a matchbox size, and with bacon three slices is a serving.
You could also try:
Scrambled eggs (you can do them quickly in the microwave)
Yoghurt…"

Timothy replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Proteins for breakfast?'"peanut butter is great for slowing carbs, I can actually eat a half a bagel with PB on it. Plain, I can not seem to manage the carb explosion. so I normally avoid them.
Kids usually like PB. Also if he is into fruit, then a high protein yogurt works…"
acidrock23 replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Proteins for breakfast?'"I don't know any kids that like nuts. Bacon, eggs and hotdogs maybe..."
Christopher replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Proteins for breakfast?'"Bacon makes everything better. :-) Eggs, salami, hot dogs are some other ideas."
Brian (bsc) replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"Perhaps you are looking at this wrong. Perhaps your other child needs to increase protein and fat at breakfast as a way of supporting their growth and weight gain.
And I like JohnG's suggestions and I still stand behind my fried bologna."
Daisy Mae replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"it may not work for your son, but for me, for whatever reason, if i eat oatmeal i dont spike as much. but of course i eat it with buttere and salt as opposed to sweet and milky. another carb brkfst i enjoy is grits mixed w/ cottage cheese. the…"
Sam replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"Breakfast is the trickiest meal for a lot of us... I still don't feel I have it 100% dialed in, but almost every day I eat 1 english muffin, 2 eggs, and sausage. That still spikes me, but generally not more than 50 pts... since I usually wake…"
Baby Tee replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"I have the same thing but I use 8oz coconut milk, protein powder, and frozen blueberries. I eat this b/c it is low in carbs, quick and easy, and low in sodium.
For added protein: Bacon, canadian bacon, or link sausages can work. Put peanut butter or…"
still_young_at_heart replied to c.schambers's discussion 'Looking for protein ideas to add to my sons breakfast'"Maybe an eggbeater along with the carbs?"
