I'm having troubles coming up with a breakfast that makes sense. I'm following a 42/37/20 (p/c/f) diet because I'm fairly carb sensitive and I'm cutting. I need to shoot for 55g protein, 47g carbs, 11g fat per meal to hit my caloric goal. I try to keep the kcal even throughout all 6 meals but I'm having trouble with breakfast. Here is what I currently eat for breakfast:
1/2 cup All Whites (60 kcal): 12/2/0 <------kcals seem a bit low too me???
1 large egg with yolk (80 kcal): 7/1/5
3/4 cup oats (225 kcal): 8/40/5
4oz. grilled chicken breast (130 kcal): 27/0/1
TOTAL- 495 kcal: 54/43/11
I don't always have time to cook chicken. I can't add any more eggs because they make me gag and what I have in the meal is already a struggle to get down. If I don't have time to cook chicken, what can I use in it's place. I don't want to add a shake but if I need to I can. I would rather have a whole food source.
If I just omit the chicken altogether my carbs are way higher than protein. I could drop the oats down to 1/2 cup to make up for that but then the total kcals are way too low for what I need.
