I usually have an egg sandwich in the morning, with a low carb high fiber bread...but that is a lot of calories.

I make frittatas at the beginning of the week and eat them all week.1

Full fat Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and flaxseed meal + decaf with half and half.2

Honestly... I eat at my desk after school has started, so I normally have either a Atkins bar or a Quest bar.0

line each cup in a muffin pan with a slice of ham, making a "ham cup." put a little shredded cheese in each one, followed by an egg. i then sprinkle each one with pepper and bake about 20 minutes at 425. i then eat 1 or 2 throughout the week for breakfast. they're also handy for those nights where i'm still a little hungry before bed.8

I always have coffee with a few tablespoons of heavy cream and then a little of whatever solid food is laying around. I might have an egg, a hunk of cheese, or a few slices of ham. Hunger isn't really an issue when I'm in ketosis so I avoid doing anything big and fancy during the morning rush. Plenty of time to eat all the calories later in the day.0

I don't mind high calories for breakfast. If it fills you up and lasts you until lunch or dinner (if you are intentionally trying to skip lunch) then that's great. I usually do bulletproof coffee (BPC) solo or with either bacon and eggs or berries and full fat greek yogurt (how ever this option is high in carbs so I have to already have a plan for what I'll be having for lunch and dinner because most of my carb allowance is used up for this meal). On the weekends I might do something more like low carb/keto pancakes. Saturday I made BPC, keto pancakes, bacon and eggs and my breakfast was over 1000 calories but it lasted me until dinner.1

True bulletproof coffee is
"At least 1-2tbs unsalted grass-fed butter or grass-fed ghee.
1-2tbs of Brain Octane™ or XCT oil™ (these are 18x and 6x stronger than coconut oil, with no flavor. They are NOT generic MCT oil, which is about 1.6x stronger than coconut oil)
1-2 cups (~250-500ml) of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans (like Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee) using a metal filter (like french press or gold filter drip)."

Bulletproof is a brand and a very specific recipe.
What most people mean when saying this is a "keto coffee" or "fatty coffee".
More commonly you make it with any single or combination of these ingredients in whatever quantities you find beneficial for appetite control or taste.
Butter or ghee
Coconut oil or MCT oil
Heavy whipping cream or half n half
I've even seen recipes adding cocoa powder and sweeteners and protein powders and all sorts of things. I really think these coffees need another name since they are so far removed from what bulletproof coffee actually is. And I say this as someone that doesn't drink the original kind either. I'm no purist by any means. It's just making it a little confusing I think.3 -

I've always called it keto coffee or Kevlar coffee... I couldn't get the latter to catch on despite it's brilliance.

Exactly as @Sunny_Bunny_ has said. Most people use the term Bulletproof Coffee or BPC to mean keto coffee. Think of someone saying "I'm going to Xerox something" when they aren't actually using a Xerox machine but some other brand of copier. Bulletproof is the brand and they have created their own MCT oil as well as their own coffee beans but the term is used more broadly.
My recipe is: 1-2T heavy whipping cream, 1-2T MCT oil, 1T butter, stevia to my liking, dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract.1 -
I've done 2% cottage cheese, plain greek yogurt with berries, cinnamon and a tiny bit of SF maple syrup, smoothies (protein powder, almond milk, berries, spinach, avocado), BPC, bacon and eggs (if you want a lower calorie option you could do turkey bacon and eggs). You could do your egg sandwich and just do an open faced sandwich to save the calories from that extra slice of bread.2

Coffee with HWC - I do IF so no food for breakfast for me... unless you count what most people would call lunch as breakfast

I love kevlar coffee - lol
I use "BPC" for ease, because, 3 letters! But I realize I'm not having a true bulletproof coffee.1 -
I often have eggs and bacon or canadian bacon, a sliced tomatoe if I'm in the mood for that. On weekends, I have eggs benedict without the English muffin if we go out to breakfast. I also like making egg muffins, there are a huge variety of those on all the low carb blogging sites. I also do IF somedays, just add HWC to my coffee and enjoy till lunchtime.0
-
I usually have a salad containing spring mix, tomato, pumpkin seeds, cheese, meatballs or chicken and olive oil or full fat Greek yogurt with stevia and a few berries or natural peanut butter.1
-
Toasted slice of keto bread from KetoConnect website with butter or Justins peanut butter. And of course a couple cups of coffee with cream.0

Some days I'm good with just coffee/cream...other days I want to eat. I like making egg bakes...then breakfast is done for the week & you can even freeze portions if you like. It's an easy way for me to get my veggies/protein/fat in an easy convenience meal.
My favorite is sauted greens (spinach/kale), a bit of basil, one green onion, 4 oz feta, 8 oz mozzarella, all mixed in with a dozen beaten eggs. Bake at 350 until lightly gold on top...maybe 40ish minutes.1 -
I looked at my diary after posting yesterday's breakfast, curious to see what I "usually" have for breakfast. Turns out 50% of my February days were coffee/cream. I also have a dose of MCT Oil for "my protocol" which is irrelevant to the masses. Other entries (excluding my daily coffee):
eggs
eggs, bacon grease
eggs, bacon
bacon
eggs, butter
boullion, butter
almonds, coconut
avocado, eggs
eggs, tomato
avocado
Uninspiring for sure.

Work week: Hard boiled egg and coffee for me usually with possibly late morning addition of a cheese stick. Some days I do a 2 minute coconut flour bread. It really isn't much of a "bread" - certainly eggy. I got the recipe here: http://elowcarbfoodlist.org/2-minute-coconut-flour-bread/ VERY EASY and in my opinion is a good base. I've added cheese, chopped pepperoni, tobasco etc. to make it more interesting.
Weekends: Eggs fried or scambled in coconut oil with bacon (pork strip bacon or peameal bacon or chicken bacon).0 -

I do IF so hardly eat before lunch, but if I do eat breakfast, it is normally a breakfast muffin (small muffin tray, I may or may not line each muffin with bacon, ham or other meats) I whisk up eggs, a little bit of cheese, left over steamed veg if I have any, herbs and spices, sometimes I chop up some panchetta to mix in too. I pour the mix into my muffin tins, top with more grated cheese, put them in the oven for about 20-25mins on medium to high heat, middle shelf. Makes for great breakfast or lunches, a snack on the go etc also warms up nicely if you want to nuke them at work. For lunch I happily eat a few of these and a salad.
At weekends, I will have good quality chippolata sausages, bacon, mushrooms, eggs, blackpudding and maybe a grilled tomato or poached eggs and smoked haddock. Other times smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.0 -
I personally don't eat breakfast except rare occasion and I only eat eggs and meat.
But a friend of mine shared this "cereal" she said was really good.
Thought you all might like it.

Oh I like this idea! I sometimes have pecans with full fat cottage cheese and some berries. This would be nice with it too!1 -
This week I did an egg bake and it's so good. No real recipe I just threw everything together and baked it at 350 for 30 minutes.
Sauteed zucchini (I think I put in about a cup, maybe a little more) I sauteed it in butter with garlic powder, cumin, season salt and pepper
8 slices of bacon nice and crispy
8 whole eggs beaten with salt and pepper
about 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
I put the zucchini, bacon and cheese in the bottom of the dish and poured the egg over it and baked away...super easy
This is for 4 servings, I froze some for later in the week.

Personally, I rarely eat breakfast anymore just because I am not hungry. However, that said, there is no reason to limit yourself to what is traditionally considered a breakfast food. Heating up a left over pork chop or steak or whatever else you had for dinner the night before is a great option.
It has been less than 100 years that bacon first became a breakfast food through a marketing campaign. Most cereals weren't invented until the 20th century also. If you go back a couple hundred years (or a couple thousand), there was no such thing as a "breakfast food" but just food.2
