12 Filling High Protein Breakfasts That Are Really Easy To Make

These high protein breakfast recipes are simple to prep, taste amazing and can help support a weight loss or wellness goal.

It’s true that breakfast (or break-fast, if you’re following Intermittent Fasting) is the most important meal of the day. Your first meal can either set you up for success with your weight loss and wellness goals OR completely derail your progress.

To support weight loss goals, a breakfast should be high in protein and low in sugar. This combination helps to support stable blood sugar levels, shut off hunger and reduce sugar cravings. Plus, getting adequate protein throughout the day is required to help the body burn fat while maintaining muscle mass (and therefore your metabolism).(1)

Today, I’m sharing 12 easy (and delish!) breakfast recipes that are high in protein and low in sugar to help support a weight loss goal.
