    Usually 300 - 350 calories for me. During the week I'm up early so starving by 8am. I have a seedy porridge with a banana made with water usually.

    However although this should keep me full until lunchtime. it doesn't so I'm usually enjoying a snack by 10:30 either popcorn or fruit.

    I don't usually fancy breakfast during the working week, so I just grab an Alpen Light bar (jaffa cake flavour - yum!). It's 65 calories and has 4.4g of fibre which I think is pretty impressive. I'm UK-based so don't know if these are available elsewhere.

    I use to go until the afternoon without eating and would eat healthy without binging. I still eat somewhat healthy but I eat breakfast now, usually 400-500 calories. I like to have high fat and protein in the AM. Coconut/olive oil everywhere

    Nothing really, spent years forcing myself to eat early only to feel hungrier in a couple of hours the days I ate. Now a couple of black coffees in the morning and maybe a cheese string or ham keep me going. I don't suffer from low sugar drops , so that helps. I eat moderately for lunch have a late afternoon snacking session and a big dinner same as rest of family and if I've done enough excersize another snack late

    Most mornings around 300 - 350 and it's usually porridge. Weekends when I have more time I like to go for a walk and burn off some extra calories then come home and have a bacon and egg sandwich and a cuppa. I look forward to that sandwich soooooo much when I am out walking lol.

    About 350-400 calories. It's one of my bigger meals, but that's because I don't get the opportunity to eat another decent meal for 5-8 hours (any snacks that I might have between breakfast and lunch would typically be <100 calories, like a cup of applesauce to bring up a low blood sugar).

    I just discovered these breakfast sandwiches last week. The ones I got have, turkey sausage, also 150 calories. Really quite good, a lot of sodium though.

    I'm currently working with 1200-1300 calories a day, 200-400 of which I tend to spend on breakfast. If I'm lazy I'll just have two medium eggs, hard boiled with a teaspoon of mayo and some salt. That's roughly 204 calories. Other days I'll either have miso soup (160-350 calories, depending on what I put in it) or a bowl of rice with some pak choi, natto and a poached egg (up to 450 calories). Dinner's usually around 700 calories, and everything else is snacking.

    If we call the first thing I eat in the morning breakfast, than anywhere from 60-200 calories, but a lot of days I don't eat anything until lunch time. This is on a 1800-2200 calorie diet (I'm still eating to lose weight).

    between 180 and 240 each day. During the work week I have Siggi's Skyr (high protein) with a cup of blueberries and on the weekends I have either a poached egg on on piece of wheat toast with a pat of butter OR 2 eggs scrambled with an ounce of ham and one slice of american cheese.
