Importance of protein in breakfast

We all know the importance of breakfast. But amidst the rush of life, we often miss making a protein-rich one. According to studies, an average adult needs about 45–55 grams of protein a day to stay steady and strong, and a well-made sandwich can help cover a good share of that at the beginning of the day. Hence to make it possible and also keep it easy we have listed seven high-protein sandwiches that one can easily prepare at home.
