No way. It took my a long time to get starch out of my diet I can't go back there.
It's a difficult one I only like a latte in the morning. I will try adding eggs but that might tank blood sugar. sausages sound delicious but the ingredients put me off.
Yep its hard changing habits but the problem is your brain and thyroid need these amino acids to be stimulated properly to get you going. Caffeine is perfectly fine but it kind of substitutes what protein does to an extent as it increases dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and reduces serotonin activity. If you consume proper amounts of protein as you wake up, caffeine will amplify the proteins effects instead of caffeine substituting for it.
I also had that habit of relying on coffee in the morning right way and nothing else. It works, but being well fed with a well balanced meal in the morning is so much more effective and controls the stress response. Just like lack of sugar triggers a stress response, so does lack of protein. I personally dont think breakfast sausage links for example have any ingredients you should be worried about. There are other breakfast options to try as well.
