Greek scrambled eggs, which contain feta, are an easy, protein-packed way to start the day. It only takes 10–15 minutes to prepare this dish.
A large hard-boiled egg contains 6.29 grams (g) of protein according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The recommended daily value of protein for adults in the U.S. is about 50 g per day for someone on a 2,000 calorie diet. People with different daily calorie needs may require more or less protein.
Eating a high-protein breakfast can make a person feel fuller for longer, which may help prevent them from snacking throughout the day.
