Eggs for breakfast are considered the ideal high-protein meal. According to the USDA, just one large egg contains 6.24 grams of protein. However, according to HealthDigest, there is another product that contains a large amount of protein and would be a good addition to breakfast: hummus.
Hummus is made by mixing olive oil, garlic and seasonings with chopped chickpeas and tahini paste. The exact amount of protein in hummus depends on the recipe, but can be up to 4 grams of protein in each quarter-cup serving (according to the Mayo Clinic). Therefore, a breakfast consisting of two large eggs and a side of this hummus should equal 16 grams of protein.
