    These are my mainstay breakfasts, either oatmeal or eggs. Not much else keeps me full. Can't pick, just depends on the day.

    Oatmeal. Eggs gives me horrifying gas and cramps and aren't even that healthy anyway. But I prefer a bagel with almond butter or vegan yogurt and granola

    Is oatmeal really as good for you as people say. 4 frams fiber in mine and my english muffin has 6 fiber and 6 protein. It says lowers cholesterol and other things but would the english muffins i buy not do that as well they have more fiber. Just wondering..

    I actually have both for breakfast.
    Oats with banana or some blue berries followed by 2 boiled eggs with one piece of toast.
    If in a hurry- oats with vanilla protein powder.
    YES eggs are good for you.

    Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods there is.

    Eggs for me, I do like oats but not keen on oatmeal, I find it to saw dusty.

    Are those the only two options? Why? Today I'll be having Wasa crispbread with [strange nordic spreads you wouldn't understand nor want], milk, pineapple and orange cauliflower.

    It isn't because of the fibre although that is great also, it is because of the beta glucan.

    I thought it was all one meal, "Pineapple and orange cauliflower"

    Wow, I've not seen those before, we get purple broccoli and purple carrots in the UK but I've never seen orange cauliflower. Sounds like a great way to get beta carotene.

    Lol, I know, I just like to be difficult :D

    It's really delicious, I was in the mood for cauliflower when I came across these (they (a somewhat upmarket but ordinary grocery store/chain) had all the colors, yellow/orange, purple and green), and multicolored carrots, and purple kohlrabi. I think it's very healthy, but the taste doesn't correspond with he color, I am sort of expecting "cheddar" or chanterelle.

    Pop tarts. Although I only eat breakfast once a week so I'm totally having smores pop tarts! Today I had a burger sliced in half with plastic cheese in the middle. Don't know why, the burger has been calling to me for days.

    Frozen steel cut oatmeal from Trader Joe's is my go-to breakfast every single morning. I sprinkle a little brown sugar and chia seeds on top to give it a little extra crunch.

    Oatmeal and eggs are my two favorite non-summer breakfasts, although I have eggs much more often. For me, the eggs are easier to include as part of a quick and healthful breakfast, as they have more protein than the oatmeal and are an easy venue for vegetables (I typically have a vegetable omelet). When I have oatmeal I'll add berries and sometimes protein powder and then have to also have some veggies on the side. Both are good, though, and sometimes I'm just in the right mood for oatmeal!

    For summer I've been preferring cold breakfasts and especially more fruit so not eating either.

    Maybe eggs were designed for baby raccoons, not humans.

    I think eggs were designed for baby chickens.

    Depends on the day. Lol most times eggs because they are quicker to make and high in protein.

    I go on a good rotation of both! Eggs when I want to eat other stuff with it (cooked Kale etc.), and when I want something more filling out go for oatmeal. I jazz it up with trail mix (which has chocolate in it mmmm) and almond butter! Oatmeal is a bit more decadent as far as breakfast goes, and eggs are a versatile classic! Why choose between em? :)

    I have both every morning, oatmeal with a cup of berries, with a hard boiled egg on the side.
