if they don't get heavy meat protein 3 times a day.

I agree, this one would be way too heavy for me. I was always a poverty vegan, so now that I'm not poor, I'm far from vegan, but I do have limits.

This kind of my limit. Not only does it weigh down a signature dish of China with unnecessary triple protein, it also requires the house cook to rise an nour early to make it.

If you require pork, eggs and cheese iun the morning, consider the breakfast burrito. You can even spice those up with red chile sauce, something that will get your eyes open faster than your coffee does.
