    2 glasses of warm water with 2 tbsp of lemon juice and hot oatmeal (wholegrain oat, milk, water and cinnamon).
    Sometimes I choose millet instead of oatmeal. Very simple.. nothing special.

    I usually make a smoothie 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup greens (spinach, chard, or Kale), whey, 1 table spoon of chia seeds, 1/2 cup of plain Chobani greek yogurt. On fast days it's 3 hard boiled eggs. This is good thread because I have gone back and forth a lot with this meal. I have had carb heavy (cereal and coffee cake), carb light egg whites and spinach with hot sauce, and everything in between. Since I am focusing more on mindful eating I don't eat right away if I am not hungry. I used to try get 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking via the slow carb diet.

    I don't always have breakfast (skip it if not hungry), but when I do, I aim for more protein and fewer carbs. I save my carbs for later in the day. Carbs tend to set me up for more hunger and cravings and crazy bloat.

    So, when I do eat breakfast, it will usually involve some eggs, with or without a meat side (could be leftover dinner meat), and some sort of veg (in an omelette or on the side, like sauteed bell peppers, mushrooms...whatever).

    A protein drink and a big fruit smoothie with ground flax seeds.

    I used to have to get up at 4am every day to be at work at 5.30. That's too early to have the energy to chew, but at the same time I knew I had to eat something because my first break would be after 11 (I worked in a kitchen, where eating meant breaking food hygiene protocol = getting fired).
    The habit stuck even now in my new 9-5 job.

    My Breakfast is a protein shake of 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, red raspberries, banana, peaches, and when available cranberries. Add an ounce of milled flax seed and chia seeds. Plus bodylogix whey powder and 1 cup skim milk. All the fruit is hella carbs and lots of nutrition. I put it on Fiber One cereal and that's so big a breakfast I save half the shake to put on cereal for the next day. I nuke the frozen fruits to make them soft enough to blend or use fresh fruits in season.

    I eat my biggest meal of the day in the morning, I always include a starchy food for quick energy to get my body going for my day. Vegetables or Fruit is important also, this especially benefits someone who works out with weights pretty regularly. I add pea protein on almost everything I eat, protein helps keep us full and is important if you wish to muscle development. Protein, Starchy food and a fruit and vegetable is a good breakfast.

    I'll either eat oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, or I'll make a kind of deconstructed omelet: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, spinach, onion, bacon (the microwave kind, chopped up). Tastes delicious!

    126 grams of egg whites
    2 large eggs
    125 grams of dry curd cottage cheese

    Scramble the eggs then mix with the cottage cheese and put some hot sauce on top of it, keeps me quite full until lunch time!

    Weekdays: 3 hard boiled medium eggs. Sometimes add a portion of a muffin if I'm bored. The breakfast used to be a muffin but I'm switching it up. The two eggs are eaten earlier in the morning, and the last one is either when I'm hungry mid morning about an hour before lunch, or if I don't get a chance, it's a mid afternoon snack

    Sundays: either a Burger King croissanwich plus French toast sticks, or waffles, bacon and egg.

    Saturdays: rushing out to my workout usually = no breakfast

    All options consumed with coffee

    Monday thru Friday at work, it is one container of Quaker Real Medley Oatmeal with Apples, Walnuts and Cranberries. Sometimes I add Peanut Butter. And black coffee with one Splenda.

    On weekends, it varies. Sometimes Greek Yogurt with some kind of fruit and a bit of granola and/or slivered almonds, or eggs. Good, dense whole grain toast, and black coffee with one Splenda.

    Black coffee, of course. My lifeline of the day.
    Breakfast is usually my KING meal of the day. I do overnight oats with some berries. And my "morning snack" aka, breakfast's dessert is usually 1 or 2 breakfast casserole muffins. I enjoy the bulk of my calories to be before 10am. Then I just maintain throughout the day.

    I'm newly returning to MFP after a long break, but I usually try to keep it under 400 calories. My morning are busy so I do alot of make ahead and freeze egg and turkey sausage mcmuffins or egg, canadian bacon and cheese burritos wrapped in tinfoil and thrown in the freezer. Other morning I like a mixture of things, today it was a yogurt, string cheese and a individual bag of pistachio's. For mornings when the kids drive me nuts and I forget my breakfast I will stop and get a bowl of grits with a piece of cheese or a smoothie from tropical smoothie.

    Weekdays I do a smoothie or oatmeal.
    Smoothie--1 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup skim milk, protein powder, 1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 banana.
    Oatmeal --1 serving Steel cut oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup dried cranberries and generous sprinkle cinnamon.

    Weekends I do eggs over roasted potatoes. Ham or bacon if I have it in the house.
