12 Protein-Rich Breakfasts to Make You Feel Full Longer

Breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day. Or it can be, depending on how you do it. Eat a bowl of sugary cereal, and you may find you're hungry again in a hurry.

To feel full longer, try protein- and fiber-rich foods. That's the word from David Ludwig of Boston Children's Hospital. He tells NPR, "Non-carbohydrate foods, specifically protein and fat, slow down digestion," giving you that satisfied feeling throughout the morning.

The result? High-protein breakfasts may help people eat less during the rest of the day, so says a new study. We were inspired to gather together some of our favorite protein-rich breakfast recipes. Let's take a look!
