A simple breakfast for active athletes.

2 slices of ham grilled with the eggs

Carbs:

1/2 cup fresh fruit

One thing, I do not like eggs. What could I put instead of eggs for protein?

In addition to eggs, the following are good sources of protein: lean beef, chicken (white meat), tuna, salmon, cottage cheese, beans, lean pork tenderloin, soy. There are some good internet sources to find information about healthy foods.

In regard to the eggs, if you plan on eating the whole thing (white and yolk) don't eat eggs very often. Sure they have protein but also a ton of cholesterol and other stuff you don't want a lot of.

But...there is hope. The whites contain almost all of the beneficial parts of the egg, so if you eat eggs on a daily basis, try to limit yourself to the whites expect for maybe a day or two a week.

*Bonus: you can still use whites to make omelets so enjoy!

vegetarian substitutions for protein?

re vegetarian subs for protein:
tofu (scrambled tofuti instead of scrambled eggs)
a whey protein shake (made with soy milk or water)
a serving of oatmeal (made with soy milk or water as well as a scoop of whey protein)

a fresh veggie juice (made in a juicer) will give you lots of amino acids (not protein). so a fresh made veggie juice and a some oatmeal (w/ or w/o the whey) should get you plenty of protein and aminos.
