High-protein breakfast foods often seem like a smart, nutritious choice to jumpstart our day. They're hailed as morning heroes, offering sustained energy and keeping you full until your next meal. From protein shakes to egg white omelets, there are a variety of options that make it easy to add more protein to your mornings. But despite all their benefits, some high-protein breakfast foods can have hidden pitfalls that may compromise our weight loss efforts.
Many high-protein foods that seem healthy often hide ingredients like added sugars, unhealthy fats, or fillers that can undermine their benefits and stall weight loss progress. To stay on track, it's essential to know what's in your morning meal so your high-protein breakfasts can truly support your health goals.

Anyone on a low carb, high protein (or fat) diet such as Atkins or Ketogenic would know to avoid all of those - except maybe the sausages. Those can be confusing if you don’t check the ingredients.
Just finished my breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and grits!

looks yum ...
we use El Pato [mildly hot] on our eggs:

El Pato means “The Duck”, so we call it Duck Sauce!
We skip Breakfast but have an egg ‘brunch’ nearly every day. So excited to have laying hens again; I’ve missed that so much!
My original ‘Chicken Coop’ space had been taken over by more dog kennels, but with our barn re-model, Beau made me a Chicken Palace inside the barn. It’s awesome and they are completely safe from any predators - even inquisitive roaming puppies. ;)
We got six Buff Orpington and six Barred Rock chicks this spring. They started laying a few weeks ago and give us 4-7 eggs a day.
Best protein there is! ‘Chickens: The pet that poops breakfast!’
Raccoons (probably) or coyotes (less likely) once got through our chicken wire by literally tearing a hole in it. Guess they were really hungry. Total bloodbath; they killed them all.
Now, I have chain link buried 3 inches deep completely surrounding with concrete blocks inside and out to prevent tunneling, with both chicken- and hog-wire on the roof. That has been predator proof.
We get our fresh, backyard eggs at the local farmer’s market....I couldn’t handle dealing with the feed and rat problem.
Not to mention the coyotes and other predators the hens attract, here.
Will you be able to have new hens at your new place?
What kind of idiot would think that *any* of these heavily processed, bullshit “foods” would help you lose weight?
LUCKY!!
Your ‘inside the barn’ hen house extraordinaire sounds like the perfect palace. Love it!!
Nothing better than freshly gathered eggs ... for brunch/lunch/dinner :D
I eat two scrambled eggs and a piece of sausage each morning with a little bit of picante sauce on them. My breakfast for the last 20 yrs.
And don’t overlook benefits of the poop!
We shared our tree leaves through a Honda bagging mower each fall and deposit them in the coop. Chickens tear through that stuff looking for bugs, it hosts worms for them, and they poop on it for 6 months of the cold season. Then, come Spring we have the best organic chicken poop mulch tow turn in to the raised vegetable beds.
Winner, winner!
An orange, two poached eggs on toasted rye bread, two strips of turkey bacon, coffee this morning.
Yup! Will disassemble the coop and cart across state lines, reimplementing the anti-predator fencing. Have the spot all picked out. Out of sight behind my garage, with ability to walk completely around, doors on either end. My neighbors behind will just have to deal with the noise, but I don’t feel so bad because I’ve had to stare at their gay and palestinian flags hung for my benefit.
We will probably stop putting kitchen scraps in the coop for the chickens to eat and for decomposition; that was probably part of what the rats loved. I bought a barrel composter for that, which I need to assemble.
We have an occasionally successful ratting cat who patrols the exterior well.
Whole milk Kefir is great, too!
So many good probiotics.
The less ingredients, the better, with whole milk yogurt and kefir ... just whole milk, and the probiotic strains ... NO gums, etc.
Look at the prices of some of their selected alternatives. A 20oz bag of cereal for almost $25. No freakin way!
Well, if you’re buying processed convenience *high protein* breakfast foods, yeah, it’s not going to work.
Eat real food.
El Pato is la bomba!
an occasionally successful ratting cat
LOL ... well, that’s better than a NEVER successful one!
Sounds like you have your plan and predator proofing down, pat.
Good luck with the move!
I cook a lot of egg white omelets.....it’s been my experience that egg whites cook slower than whole eggs, regardless in either scenario the omelet must be almost all the way cooked through before tossing in the pan without a spatchula.
One guess how I know that 😏
I have never eaten any of the “foods” on either list.
Good for you.
