It's important to include protein with your breakfast, because it really satisfies you and you stay full for hours. In this video, "Hungry Girl" author Lisa Lillien explains protein's benefits, and suggests some high-protein breakfast recipes.
I like high protein breakfast for they really satisfy me. When I tend to eat a lot carby breakfast that don't have enough of protein I get hungrier really quickly and I want a snack an hour after breakfast, when you have a high protein breakfast with 20 or more grams, you'll fill satisfied for hours.
I love proteins. Some of my favorite high protein breakfast include 0% Greek yogurt, loaded with protein, and you can make a huge parfait out of Greek yogurt with a chopped apple or a couple cups of berries, with some high fiber cereal, maybe a small handful of nuts, that's protein packed and very satisfying.
Also I love egg whites or egg beaters, and you just throw those in the microwave, you don't even have to whip up a or skill it and I pair that with fruits as well, and you can even have like a 100 calorie light bun, a high fiber burn, and it's really satisfying, protein is amazing.
