High-Protein Breakfasts That Barely Take Any Time to Prepare ?

Having enough protein in your diet is essential. Not only does it keep you full and satisifed, but it also helps keep muscles lean and energy levels up. Trainer Marie Purvis told us that she swears by a high-protein breakfast to help power through her day and also stave off fatty cravings. Basically, if you're looking to lose weight, you should probably eat more of it. 

Easier said than done on busy mornings — it's an accomplishment that you made it to your desk in time! However, a healthy, high-protein meal can still be had on those crazy days. These meals all contain at least 15 grams of protein and take well under 10 minutes to prep.
