Protein for Breakfast: Adventures in Puddings

 Josh has a very narrow list of things he will eat for breakfast. Even more narrow of a list than what he will eat for the rest of his life.

He sadly gave up breakfast cereal when I presented him with the scientific evidence it hastens the onset of diabetes, and may have contributed to the obesity and insulin resistant-->diabetes epidemic of the west. Slamming your empty stomach with 45grams of carbs, and only 4 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat, will yield a glucose spike, as sparks fly upward.

But he just can't get behind the Asian soup, meat, and vegetable breakfast. Sweet breakfasts remain dear to his heart.

GOAL: Get 30g of protein into him at breakfast, with no more than 30g of carbohydrate. And lots of animal based fats.
