    My breakfast protein shake is 200 calories. Fast and simply while I run out the door in the morning for work.

    anywhere from 600-900 calories. I like to have a really large bfast as Im ravenous in the am and I need something that can keep me full for hours. I eat 3 meals/day and 2000 cals day, less if I work out as I dont eat back my workout cals. Bfast and lunch are my largest meals, and I have a tiny dinner (300cals)

    My fave breakfast is whole grain grilled pita. I slather it w. a TBSP of butter. then I have a traditional caprese salad (tomato, buffalo mozerella, basil. olive oil or pesto):

    As far as the food amount goes it probably only is about 500-600 but then I add the butter and olive oil. Fat is my bff as it really fills me up and keeps me full for up to 6hours.

    Usually less than 400; I have two 'common' breakfast choices,

    Cream of Wheat (120)
    3 strips of bacon (120)
    1/4 TB of butter (25)
    Tea, with lemon juice
    Spelnda

    265 calories

    2 eggs, scrambled (I don't use oil or butter, just a nonstick pan) (140 calories)
    3 strips of bacon (120)
    1 100 calorie wheat bun (100)
    Tea, with lemon juice
    Splenda

    360 calories


    That said I don't eat until around 10:3-11am most days. So it's kinda like lunch.

    Anyway, eat between 1600-1800 calories a day and I like a filling dinner, so I leave breakfast and lunch pretty light.

    Usually a little below 600 on workdays. Weekends I sleep in so I'll have a couple cups of coffee around 10 am then eat lunch.

    About 100 on weekdays, but I eat lunch early. On weekends I tend to sleep until 11:00, so I just eat lunch.

    It's either really small - 2 eggs and 2 links of sausage for about 300cals, or giant - almost 600 in my brotein shake. Depends on the day and what time i start eating!

    I usually eat 150-250. Boiled egg, and a piece if toast, Just a suggestion for you to eat your oats and your drink for breakfast, and scoot your banana with a big glass if water for a mid morning snack. That will help with cravings and keep your sugar more stable until lunch :)

    I love breakfast. I would eat breakfast foods all day if I could. But my typical breakfast is an egg scrambled, with 3 slices of canadian bacon, and a smidge of cheese all in wrap. I will sometimes do chicken apple sausage instead of the bacon or do no meat and add a second egg in there. But the wraps are typically between 300-350.

    It depends on the definition of breakfast. Between 0 and 1,500, generally about 500-900, but suppose it depends on whether there is bit of a gap between my toast and my porridge and how many slices of toast I have (and whether I have fruit juice).

    Some days 0 other days 400+, it doesnt make a blind bit of difference when you eat calories its has no effect on you weightloss. I can happily skip breakfast if im not hungry and it hasnt hurt my loss so far and many other has stated. Meal timming mean nothing, eat when your hungry and when you are told you have to eat. You hungry at breakfast time? eat breakfast, not hungry at breakfast? save your calories for later on in the day and dont force feed yourself.

    About 300-350. Eggs and toast and coffee. Or porridge and coffee. Occasionally muesli so the calories are slightly lower.
