Top that with about two teaspoons of Nutella or peanut butter. Sometimes about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sliced watermelon or half a small apple, or half an orange and maybe a small container of Greek yogurt ( about 4 ounces). Other days it might be eggs, two whites, one yolk. Every once in a while, a single slice of bacon with the eggs. Do have that thin slice of toast, too. If I'm going to be busy until after my body wants lunch, I'll have an egg, cereal, toast and yogurt.

May be more fat and protein than you eat, but It works for me. My body needs animal protein, I just don't get enough sustenance from a more plant based eating plan....believe me, I've tried it over the years.
