When I set out to do some targeted meal plans, I don’t think I realized how in-depth these would become! Bear with me, they are going to be GOOD!
In preparing the meals plans, I realized I had quite a few great breakfast options. So I wanted to give y’all some High Protein Breakfast options, all geared for fat loss and Fat Shredder. You could totally make these bigger if you were bulking or on a maintenance plan, but as they stand they are all great for watching your calorie intake and getting that protein in early! So let’s get to them!
Classic Coach Wayne Shakeology
I had to start here :-) This is my go to. Granted I make it bigger calorie wise now, but I started so many days with this exact high protein breakfast recipe! Fills you up, gets you locked in with tons of great protein, and gives you the best start of the day with all the superfoods in Shakeology. So get your blender ready!
Oats and Eggs!
This is another classic. I use quick oats a lot throughout my day. It’s really easy to keep in your desk at work, and as long as you’re making it with water it can be pretty calorie controlled. I used egg whites in this example to make sure to keep my fats and check. There’s nothing wrong with whole eggs, but you will need to watch your fat intake if you’re going to use whole eggs. For getting the amount of protein I needed, it wouldn’t have been easy to use all whole eggs. I diced up 2 oz of deli ham too, just to make the scrambled egg whites a little more enjoyable :-)
All cooked in a skillet with PAM. How easy is that for 34g of protein?!
BIGGER Oats and Eggs!
My modified high pProtein breakfast classic LOL I wanted to show you this just so you can see how easy it is to scale up a meal. Instead of 3/4 of a couple of egg whites I used a cup this time (16 oz). That brought protein up to 27 g. To bump up my oats, I added tablespoons peanut butter. Just enough to give it a nice flavor boost without making you feel like you used to your entire fat budget at breakfast. Be careful with peanut butter! A true 2 tablespoon serving the 16 g of fat. That will eat your fat budget away quickly.
*Adding salsa to your scrambled egg whites is great too. Very few calories and a big flavor boost!
Hashbrown Omelet Mmmmmm
This High Protein Breakfast recipe I got from my buddy David Jeffries. He and his family came out for a visit this summer and he made these for everybody. This is the Fat Shredder approved version LOL
People often think hash browns are really unhealthy for you. They can be, but it depends on how you make them. If you cook your hashbrowns a quarter inch of oil, yes they will be unhealthy. Here we just use a little Pam and it makes all the difference.
Steps:
- Warm a skillet to medium and spray with PAM.
- Layer hash browns in pan evenly and cover with lid.
- Cook one side until they start to brown, and then flip whole layer.
- Cover cooked side of hash browns with egg whites, diced ham, and 1/4 cup cheese.
- Return cover and cook.
- Feel free to add a little water (2 TBSP or so) to the edge of the pan and cover quickly. This will produce some steam and cook the top of the eggs to finish the omelet.
- FOLD and EAT!
No ham in that one. Thanks David!
Loaded Oatmeal: Final High Protein Breakfast
Want just one bowl of goodness to eat? This is your recipe. Make your quick oats with a little extra water (or pull out of the microwave a little early). This will allow you to mix in the protein well. Stir, stir, stir to make sure it is all mixed and dissolved. It’s a chocolatey, peanut buttery, fruity bowl of gainz :)
**You can pass on the Stevia or use honey if you have the calories.
