Something, ANYTHING but EGGS!?!
Question: I'm doing really well having protein for breakfast - I don't really get hungry until lunch, and if I do, a small piece of fruit or something is fine. When I only had cereal, or a bagel, or something similar, I would be starving by 10 o'clock. But I've been having eggs/egg substitute for breakfast for nearly a month now, and it's getting redundant! Any other ideas? I don't do tofu, or anything else weird, and I don't have a lot of prep time in the morning. Thanks for the help!

bran cereal keeps you full untill lunch time. eat fruit, veggies. Drink plenty of water
sausage and ham is good protein and u can mix it with eggs in an omlette or scramble to get a little diff. kick out of the eggs!
chicken, oatmeal, peanut butter pita,
Nuts, peanut butter on toast or on an apple, oatmeal, reheated leftovers from last nights dinner that contain meat or beans, eggs, bacon, ham, sausage.
You don't have to be limited to eggs for breakfast, any protein is fine, the body doesn't know the difference between different protein sources other than how fast it's assimilated. Lean ham, beef or even chicken or turkey can work just as well.
You could try preparing eggs in different ways from what you're used to. Mix them with different veggies, cheeses, spices and even lean meats like ham can add variety to eating eggs every day.
You could even go as far as having a blended protein shake with a piece of fruit and a fat like flax seed oil for breakfast.
Try perusing different recipes from healthy cookbooks, substituting egg whites or egg beaters for whole eggs (nothing wrong with mixing a whole egg in there once in a while).
Protein--->
Chicken is a lean meat as well as turkey.
I have peanut butter on a banana or apple. With nuts, you just have to watch out because they have a high fat and lots of calories so in small amounts.
You could also try tuna (with lite mayo) on whole wheat bread.
I know you are sick of eggs, but maybe try an egg white omelette with lots of veggies (for fiber) a couple times a week.
Have you considered combing eggs with bread. If you are trying to eliminate carbs, this won't work, but if it's satiation you are going for, try making French toast. It is surprisingly not that many calories if you just have two pieces and don't overload with syrup and butter. I find that combining the carbs and the protein keeps me satiated longer than the same amount of calories from carbs or protein alone. Plus, French toast takes like 5 minutes to make and with a little cinnamon it's tasty.
something that's easy to make on the fly or make the night before and freeze is bananas covered in peanut butter and granola. slice you bananas in half, melt some peanut butter in the microwave, roll the banana in the peanut butter, then roll it in crumbled granola. lots of protein, potassium, and fiber.
