High protein breakfast ideas.

wingedbride · January 2012

Help me with this. I'm totally a muffin/bagel/fruity yogurt and OJgirl. Tomorrow is my 1 hour GD test and I failed last time with dagger. I don't want to take the 3 hour again.

Plain greek yogurt is good, but still somewhat carby.

Eat bacon and eggs.

Eggs with cheese, perhaps in a low carb tortilla if you need something bready.

I assumed eggs would be good. I'm not into meat in the morning. I prefer night bacon.

That sounded bitchy I think? Yes? I didn't mean it like that.

i'd have an incredible edible egg. maybe an omelet or breakfast burrito if you're so inclined?

My elderly coworker makes mashed banana/PB/oatmeal goo in the office every morning. Seems pretty high protein.

Why don't you just follow the Guiliana Rancic diet. All you need it a glass of water with cayenne pepper!

I need to focus on this a bit more too. I end up wanting a snack by like 8:30 or 9 every day.

I hardboil eggs about 6 at time. Brett eats them for breakfast and I use them to make egg salad for lunch. I love PB for breakfast - although usually on toast for me. But you could do it with an apple or banana for less carbs.

Also, I think soy milk has more protein/less sugar than cow's milk. Especially if you get plain.

STOP MAKING FUN OF HERRRRRRRRRRR.

I eat a whole grain English Muffin with a wedge of light Laughing Cow every morning. It's yummy and around 150 calories. Not that this helps you. I just wanted to share. Because I'm bored.

I make a big batch of mexi eggs and eat them for 3-4 days. Scramble 4 eggs and 4 egg whites. Add about 1.5 cups of black beans, 1/2 cup salsa. When you reheat it to eat add cheddar cheese.

Question, though. I did not have GD. if you normally eat a carby breakfast, and you had GD last time, shouldn't you just eat what you normally do just to be sure you don't have GD this time around? or did you just have to take the 3 hr and not have GD?

katie.i.do · January 2012

i think sam brings up a good point, because there seems to be a lot of variability between OB offices w/r/t how they want you to approach the GD test. some tell you to eat normally, some say to eat protein rich, some say to fast. i wonder, does that (probably statistically insignificantly, but still) affect who gets diagnosed with GD?

for purposes of my own amusement i really want to pretend GD stands for goddamn right now.

WendyToo · January 2012

My breakfast usually consists of some sort of fiber bar during the week and egg white omelettes with chicken or turkey and cheese/veggies on the weekend so I'm not sure I'm a huge help, but if you really want to maximize protein, why not consider a protein bar of some sort?

Or you could just go this route: Wink

I agree with Sam. I think I would eat as I normally would. That way you're getting "real" results instead of just tricking the system IMO. If there was a problem with the way you normally eat, you'd want to know as opposed to just masking the problem in order to pass the test, no?

I'll take the Bethie unhelpful route and say that my current favorite breakfast is a toasted whole grain waffle topped with a tablespoon of peanut butter and sliced banana. So good.

wingedbride · January 2012

I passed the 3 hour test. And last time I fasted by accident. The office policy is to eat high protein breakfast. I didn't ask last time and someone at work had told me to fast for the one hour but my ob office policy is fasting for 3 hour but not 1 hour. I failed by a couple of points on the one hour

One of my friends eats oatmeal made with egg whites. Sounds gross to me but it keeps her really full.

This recipe needs a cup of sugar, some butterscotch chips and a dash of vanilla. Mmmm oatmeal cookies for breakfast.

Just talk to Giuliana Rancic. Her breakfast sounds pretty low carb.

noisy_penguin · January 2012

When I was on the GD diet I'd eat half an english muffin or one slice of toast, a scrambled egg, and a slice of cheese. Usually I'd put the egg and cheese on the muffin/toast.

Night bacon, deserves a quiet night

Eggs.

modb1rd · January 2012

Has anyone mentioned eggs?

Make quinoa with milk instead of water, and a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon. MIx in berries.

I had these for breakfast this morning and they were awesome!

J had his with some frozen berries that I simmered with some water to make a sauce. I ate mine with a spread of almond butter. I am going to make a huge batch of them this weekend to freeze.
