My egg intake is pretty much limited to eggs-as-ingredients, not eggs as a dish themselves, and dairy is also limited because I'm lactose intolerant. So my protein comes largely from quinoa, legumes and nuts, with some soy milk and 1-2 meat analogs per week, limited because I don't want to OD on soy (I already have hormonal issues) and frankly, they're budget busters, even compared to kosher meat. (I think. I can't remember the last time I went to the kosher butcher.)
Like you, I think I'd have more stamina if I could have more protein in the mornings but quinoa as a breakfast food, it's not so much hitting the spot, you know? I think my next step is trying to find a lactose-free, gluten-free, artificial sweetener-free, tropical fruit-free protein supplement with a suitable hechsher to add to a smoothie every day. :D If that doesn't do it, then I'll think about a couple of weekly servings of oily, cold water fish, since they have both the protein and the omega fatty acid benefits.
