Hi Tanja,

Yes, like Allison and mosaic said, count the "dense" proteins and it makes things simple. Another thing to consider is how does the breakfast hold you? If I go too light on protein or fat in particular, I get hungry quickly after breakfast. When I get the right amount, I go 5-6 hours on my shake.

: Hi Michelle,

: I am new to the forum and currently
: mastering breakfast (1 week behind
: me). I need an exact same amount
: of protein as you.

: I use little post-it noted to write
: down every day what I eat and
: stick ut to te board in my
: kitchen, so if I am not sure what
: to eat, I an look at one of the
: previous breakfasts for a quick
: inspiration.

: (I'm from Europe so thinking in
: grams, but will try to recalculate
: them into ounces)

: Just finished my breakfast

: 100g (3.5 ounce) of combined oaths
: and buckwheat (half/half) cooked
: in water with 5 dates and few
: crushed salty cashew nuts added

: 100g (3.5 ounce) cottage cheese mixed
: with 5 raspberries

: Mixed it all up and enjoyed.

: It gives around 25g protein
: altogether. What is puzzling me is
: whether we count proteins from the
: complex carbs as well? DO you know
: that?

: Few days ago I had a small
: multi-grain pistoletti, but
: although very small it weighted
: 100g and had 19 proteins itself.
: By just adding a bit of pate and
: cottage cheese on the top, I've
: reached 25g. But that made my
: breakfast more complex carbs based
: than protein.

: So curious about how do you come
: around these things?

: Good luck and I guess you might be
: now in different stage as well :)
