Bulking breakfast for people who don’t want a ton of food

[iwantpeace]

@bigbossjock That’s actually really smart, I make a bean “mash” sometimes but even then I find I have to eat a larger volume of food to meet my calorie/protein goals for that meal. I’ll definitely give making bean patties a try! I haven’t had a good bean burger in a long time, so I’m excited to give it a try, thanks a lot!

@iwantpeace Not sure if this meets your requirements but I eat basmati rice and dal in the morning a lot. I also like to make besan omelettes. Both keep me full and have protein, but I’m not trying to bulk up.

 

[iwantpeace]

@iwillwalkinfaith I think this would be a really good breakfast. I notice I’m losing my appetite for traditional western breakfast foods which might be why I have trouble getting enough food in the morning. Thanks for the recommendation!

@iwantpeace Protein bread! If you have it in your country. With melted violife cheese. Or Indian moong dal snacks, for ex haldirams.

 

[iwantpeace]

@kizzie I’ll have to see if they have protein bread at my local grocery store! I could totally bang a grilled cheese for breakfast. Thank you!

 

[kizzie]

@iwantpeace Yes do it! I think it need to be a store with good products, not just a regular store. Or online.

@iwantpeace Do you need macros or just calories? If its just calories, add olive oil to whatever you're eating. Over 100 calories a tablespoon.

@coindude123 Apologies for the late response. I put in another comment that I’m looking for both higher protein (not insanely high or anything, but moderately so), and somewhat lower fat. I’m not low fat by ANY means lol, but I do try to keep my fat intake somewhat moderate

@iwantpeace oatmeal is low in calories but you can easily do overnight oats which are high in calories and protein make a batch of that and have it for the week basically

 

[iwantpeace]

@xbluxtunicx82 I wanted to love overnight oats so bad but I’m a part of the “oats should be warm” club lol. Maybe I’ll try a recipe this week and give it another go though. Thanks a lot for the recommendation!

@xbluxtunicx82 How is oatmeal low in calories but overnight oats aren't?

 

[xbluxtunicx82]

@felicitypenny you can add stuff to it like fruits, protein powder, milk,seeds, PB, and a whole lot of other stuff make it the night before putting it away for the morning time called overnight oats for that reason

 

[felicitypenny]

@xbluxtunicx82 Oh, yeah, I just do that in the morning with hot oats. I was confused on your comment. I know 1/2 cup old fashioned oats are 150 calories, so I add soy yogurt, milk, berries, peanut butter, protein powder, and chia seeds to mine
