Front-loading some protein at breakfast helps a lot of people stay full and avoid the mid-morning slump. The trick is variety so you don't get bored.

Note

What "high protein" means here

Aim for roughly 20-30g of protein at breakfast. That's enough to blunt hunger and support muscle without overhauling your whole morning.
