    Lately, I've been eating 2 hard boiled eggs, 3 queen size olives and an apple or 1 cup of 2% cottage cheese with pineapple. Once in a while, I'll make a protein shake with almond milk, protein powder and some kind of berry or a banana.

    1 egg, 4 egg whites, 2 slices of bacon, bran buds, milk. That's pretty much my breakfast meal every day.

    This always puzzles me. An egg is an egg is an egg!! Consists of both yolk and white.

    Not puzzling... Some people don't have the possibility, or desire, to use that many calories on fat from eggs.

    I tend to skip breakfast on the weekends. During the week I am with my 2-year-old niece and I split what she is having. Half a bagel, a frozen waffle, half a breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage, and fruit. When it warms up enough to face cold stuff in the morning I will make smoothies for breakfast for both of us. Toddler portions make it very easy to keep my breakfast calories down.

    Coffee... sometimes with half and half, sometimes soymilk or milk/other creamer...one or more of the following:
    Greek yogurt
    Egg whites
    Peanuts
    A cookie
    Dry cereal
    Instant oatmeal
    Protein/meal bar
    ...just depends how I'm feeling
    In the summer I do more cold coffee and smoothies

    Coffee was a couple of tablespoons of either coconut milk or some almond milk creamer and a little stevia added for sweetness. I'll sometimes add a scoop of collagen peptides if I feel that I need a little more protein than normal, but I'm not consistent on that.

    I've just never been a breakfast person. Even as a little kid, my mom used to have to fight me to get me to eat anything for breakfast. Even if she was willing to let me have Poptarts and Toaster Strudel. :|

    Lately it's been an English muffin with Wowbutter and an apple because it's easy to throw together at work. On the weekends I usually make ham/egg/cheese breakfast sandwiches or burritos.

    Lately I've been feeling chorizo and egg scramble with cheese tacos. So damn delicious, just need some pico to go with it and I'll be in business.

    I usually have leftovers from a previous day. This morning it was some black-eyed pea curry and a flatbread with cilantro pesto and garbanzo beans.

    I rotate between three different types of breakfast depending on how lazy I'm feeling. Always with two cups of black coffee.
    1. Egg salad w/ avocado subbed for mayo over toast/english muffin and an extra protein
    2. A parfait of berries and quinoa over yogurt
    3. A protein bar

    ETA: Sometimes I add protein powder to my coffee, if my workout was longer/harder than usual

    Today's breakfast was a free cereal bar.

    If I have time I'll take some muesli and fruit to uni with me in my thermos and eat it either on bus or on campus.

    Some days it is two pieces of cinnamon raisin toast and sometimes it is a packet of instant oatmeal. Weekends are usually 2 sausage links, 1 egg, and toast. I always have 1 travel mug of coffee in the morning. Then it is on to water.

    Well, since I've most likely just come back from the gym, breakfast M-F is one of my protein shakes with a banana and some frozen berries blended in with almond milk.

    On weekends, usually a bowl of cereal or granola, maybe eggs if I'm feeling ambitious.

    The majority of the time I have porridge oats, overnight oats preferably as that's lovely with frozen berries! If I'm lazy the night before then I'll just make hot in the morning and usually have with banana.

    If I don't fancy that I also like,
    Toast - marmite or mashed avocado
    Cereals
    Cooked Breakfast (usually just on weekends)

    I was eating oatmeal with protein powder mixed in. Now I am eating 5oz ground turkey and a grapefruit. I wish I could eat egg but it causes me grief with my gall bladder. Not everyone is ok eating the same thing day in and day out. I however don't mind eating the same thing all the time.

    I keep to the same thing each day, except for weekends

    1 1/4 cup of vector cereal
    1 cup of almond milk

    On weekends, it's usually just leftovers. I grew up in a household where we ate leftovers for breakfast and lunch, and even now at the age of 31, I have no issues keeping up with this.

    I have a variety of breakfast plans I choose among. Today was a green smoothie. Tomorrow will be a yogurt-granola bowl. Saturday will be an overnight oatmeal in kefir fortified with protein powder, and Sunday will be eggs and turkey, or eggs and ham. My aim with all these is to get near 30 g protein and under 400 calories.

    Slim quick drink, protein bar, and yogurt every week day. On weekends I make 2 fried eggs or boil-in-bag omelet with 3 pieces of turkey bacon. Not a huge breakfast eater so it's easy to keep a routine breakfast schedule.

    I eat different things on different days, my brekkie varies.

    Today I had avocado toast with a chicken kiev and a protein mug cake (blueberry cheesecake flavour).
    Yesterday I had a three scoop gingerbread biscuit whey protein shake with 300ml whole fat milk.

    I'm sure that is true for some...for me I was an 'egg white' breakfast consumer...however, found I was hungry after a few hours.

    I started eating the whole egg and now I'm good to go til lunch...sometimes not even that hungry for that either! Plus, the yolk is yummy...

    Never said the yolk wasnt delicious, and the original meal in the quote included an egg, so not all whites. I often have the protein of 4-6 eggs in a meal; I don't want 20-30g fat just from eggs, so using 1-2 whole eggs cuts that down, and makes adding cheese, avocado etc possible.

    Usually egg whites or 1 whole egg + whites plus turkey sausage or bacon
    OR
    1/2 Sonic bacon breakfast burrito.
    Sometimes Taco Bell breakfast taco or protein muffins

    Most of the days I would eat a bowl of crunchy salad ( cucumber, radish, pepper, tomato) scrambled 2 eggs and 50g of cheese. Sometimes I swap cheese for avocado or 2 bacon rashers

    During the work week I have an egg and cheese pita (frozen section, not "healthy") with veggie sausage patty. On weekends I have eggs with sausage or oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit. Some days I'll have protein cheerios or a part of a protein shake, but I typically stick with the same thing!

    During the week its 2 pieces of sausage-usually turkey and "natural", some tomato and avocado, more if I'm more hungry, less if I'm not, or leftovers from the night before. I don't eat breakfast on the weekend, I usually eat a brunch type meal after I work out.
