Why this breakfast works

Cottage Cheese Scramble builds its protein from cottage cheese and whole eggs. At 30g protein and 300 calories, about 40% of its energy comes from protein, and it comes together in roughly 12 minutes. That protein density is what makes Cottage Cheese Scramble so filling for its calories, which is exactly what you want when breakfast needs to hold you to lunch without going overboard.
