This is my go-to way to start my day. I don’t really eat a lunch (I would much rather snack around than eat one large meal midday), so I tend to eat a larger breakfast and dinner instead.
2 eggs w basil and parsley: 150 cal, ~13g protein
1/4th cup of 4% cottage cheese: 50 cal, 6g protein
Half of a Schar gluten free bagel: 150 cal, 2g protein, ~4g fiber
Mix of cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and cucumber that I measure with my heart: ~50cal total (if that), plenty of micronutrients, a modest addition of fiber (maaaybe 2g)
If I was willing to ditch the bagel, or had more options for protein/“skinny” bagels, I could get some more bang for my buck in terms of calories probably, but I like bread and my gluten free options are a bit limited, so I’m sticking with what tastes decent.

Love it! Do you have sola bagels? That could work for more fiber.
Delicious
This looks so dang good
Tho I’d want more protein for 400 calories 21g isn’t bad it just isn’t the best.
But I’m weight lifting regularly and can put the protein to good use.
