I'm looking for a high protein breakfast that doesn't involve too much preparation. I sometimes buy Myoplex low carb bars, which have a high protein ratio, but that gets expensive.
By the way, I am also a pescatarian (I don't eat meat).
Any ideas?

Yesterday's leftover veggie spag bol/bean risotto/kedgeree.
Tuna sandwiches.
Whisk up a milkshake or a smoothie. Easy to throw down 500 protein-rich calories that way. The Liz Applegates of this world would probably advocate throwing in a few spoonfuls of powdered egg white. I think that's gross, personally, although...
Eggs, eggs, eggs! Less than a minute to poach in the microwave, or fry in just a spot of oil.
Stick a tuna and haricot bean pizza in the oven while you have your shower. Sorry, Michelle, if you're reading this, I know your feelings on my tuna pizza fixation.
Beans on toast. Food combining at its most accessible.
A bread roll filled with cottage cheese (no spread needed) and something to give it a bit of flavour.
Any more ideas, anyone?
Scrambled eggs on toast.
Smoked haddock (microwaved) with yesterday's mashed spuds/rice/pasta or just bread.
Straight haricot or flageolet beans (tinned), drained and slightly warmed and with some red pesto mixed in - eat with something carby left over from yesterday.
Tinned fish fillets in mustard-type sauce, either on toast (again) or in warmed bread for roll.
And the king of the sarnies, accept no substitute:
eggs lightly fried in just a trendy drizzle of olive oil, cotton-wool bread, thick sliced of course, wee bit of butter or marge and a thick smear of ketchup. Oh bliss!
Mmm
Inthe morning??
Hed divorce me!!
Yoghurt is a good one though, although I need more filling up in the morning...
Smoothie-making is too much like cooking and leaves too much washing up if I'm staying at the boyfriend's place (he hates cooking and having washing up to do, which is why he's only ever cooked me cheese/beans/tuna and mayo (ugh) on toast). I don't let him cook very often.
I could do eggs. Eggs on the muffin sounds nice. Not at my boyfriend's place again, though!
Cottage cheese on toast sounds good, but sarnies first thing or beans on toast: No. I have sandwiches for lunch anyway.
Fish for breakfast? Kippers would be ok. Maybe I'll try it and see.
What do you all have for brekkie then?
It sounds like cereal would be frowned upon!
Thats why im a c##p runner
Smoothies just need a blender, try raspberries( keep well in the freezer), with yogurt, milk and a banana
You run the same amount that I do according to your profile, and my mates all think I'm a fitness freak! Ha ha. I'm not, but I don't think I'm crap either - I think that I'm progressing slowly, and that's how you should think too. Come on!
One more post putting yourself down and I'm going to open a 'Motivation for Benz thread'!
Seriously - at least you're shifting your behind - think of the thousands of people all over the UK who sit in front of their TV eating crisps or lay in bed zzz-ing up the walls when you're out giving running your best shot.
It's the feeling that keeps me going!

Dare I say this, and I mean no offence, but perhaps you could be a little less faddy?
However, a double-sized portion of your favourite cereal - doesn't have to be a "healthy" one - with a handful of nuts and sunflower seeds thrown in and a liberal dousing with milk, should keep you ticking over quite nicely.
My breakfast is never the same two days in a row, but I always aim to put away 500-600 calories rather than the 200 that is the typical health-conscious British breakfast. I don't normally need a mid-morning snack after that but am usually more than ready for lunch by 1pm.
Cheers, V-rap.
Sorry Muttley - they are good ideas, yes, and I'm not rejecting them it's just fish and sarnies first thing are not my idea of brekkie! I am a bit fussy when it comes to food I think. And lazy.....!
I agree that cereal is not filling enough. I'm hungry now......
Beff
Unfotrunately, ive just been Emailed some pictures of me diong the KRUF 10k, and I look dreadful
It explains why my hands go numb though, I look like a T rex(sorry Vrap)
Out for a run this pm cos got a day off work and have just returned from an eat/drink fest in a hotel for our wedding anniversary
T Rex...now I'm quaking.
They send me the KRUF stuff each year as I used to work for them. I only do it for the free T shirt
Think Ive replied to your E mail
Im gonna Kill the person who took them
50g oats, 350ml of milk, large pyrex type jug. Cook for 4 mins, leave to stand for 2, stir in some jam, or honey (or cognac I guess - haven't tried yet). And that's it. The glass jug is really easy to wash up - the state of the saucepan is what's put me off porridge in the past.
A B&B I stayed in in Cork once had on the breakfast menu "porridge with whiskey" and "porridge with baileys". Having had plenty of Guinness the night before I decided to stick to the healthy "porridge with double cream" option, so I've no idea how they taste.
I have to confess that any serious washing up would go in the dishwasher anyway. Rinsing out a bowl is just the kind of physical stimulation I need at 6.30 in the morning, anthing else would be too intellectually demanding.
Maybe I could add some egg or cottage cheese or something.
Sticky bowl for me in the sink when I go home though.
I think adding egg might do horrible things, but cottage cheese sounds interesting.
