Hi Shirley.
You are off to a good start. Millet would be a brown.
To figure out how much protein you need, take your weight, up to 250 lb, and divide it by 6. (dividing by 2 gives protein for the day, then by 3 for the amount per meal.) That is how many grams of protein you would need. A large egg has about 6 grams. So you could scramble up some eggs with ham and have the millet on the side or something along those lines. But you can increase the protein slowly.

: protein for me should be easy as I
: love 2 things - protein and
: sweets. I could live on meat,
: eggs, cheese and anything with
: sugar or honey in it. So today I
: had breakfast. I made boiled
: millet - it's a healthy, no gluten
: grain and when it was just about
: done I whipped up an egg and
: stirred it into the millet. It
: turned out kind of like custard.
: Then I put this in a big bowl with
: 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed,
: a teaspoon of cinnamon and about
: 3/4 teaspoon of truvia. Then I
: poured almondmilk on top and mixed
: it all up. I don't know how much
: protein I'm supposed to have or
: about the brown but for some
: reason I think I did the right
: thing. What do you all think?
