Joy dot: Kissing our old border collie goodbye before leaving on a short trip

Hi Michael
One egg and a slice of toast won't be enough, but if you are not used to eating breakfast, it's a great start and you can get used to eating and then gradually add more.

I need about 22 grams of protein, although since I exercise a lot I sometimes eat a bit more. I like to have a protein shake on weekdays, and on weekends I have an omelette. I don't want to eat more than 3 eggs, so I make up the rest of the protein with ham, cheese etc. And I always have 2 slices of toast.

As you get used to breakfast, if you are open to unusual breakfast choices, you can get your protein needs in with less volume of food with something like a 4 ounce turkey or beef burger with cheese. I used to cook a turkey burger every morning, and I had a bowl of oatmeal with it, but you could eat it on a whole grain bun. A shake is also an easy way to get in protein. I use a scoop of Restore in mine, and then supplement the protein with some cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I put the oats right in it.

But if eating breakfast is a challenge, by all means start off with an egg and toast. Eventually your body will start asking for more.
