Best breakfast for first day of new diet?

From experience, what breakfast satisfies and fills you and doesn’t leave you crashing for a day of a sucky diet?

If you focus on foods that satiate you, have a moderate calorie deficit appropriate for how much you need to lose rather than an aggressive one, exercise and eat back the calories you earned from exercising, it shouldn't even feel like you're dieting.

I quickly learned that higher protein and fiber fills me up, and wheat flour-based foods and alcohol do not. When I focus on foods that satiate me, I'm only hungry right before meals.

I am pretty much a creature of habit! Since I am following Keto (because of high A1C) I eat four scrambled eggs and six slices of bacon. Pretty much every morning. Today was no exception. Now, this is going to change soon but this has been my go-to for several months. I really enjoy it...it gets in a good amount of protein and fat and did I mention that I really enjoy it? :-)

Alcohol for breakfast is not a good idea, I agree

Eggs 🍳 🥚

200grams Skyr yoghurt, a small banana and a teaspoon of honey plus another piece of fruit if I'm still hungry. That sets me up nicely.

Ha!

In my defense, I was responding to "sucky diet" and not "breakfast"

Got this recipe in my email this morning and it looks like a great make ahead breakfast. I'd make it for dinner as well. I usually have a breakfasty dinner a few times per month.

The calorie count seems low - probably this makes less than the stated 6 servings, and with less servings, calories will be higher.

Use raw potatoes instead of the hash browns and this is very similar to Julia Child's Râpée Morvandelle /
Gratin of Shredded Potatoes with Ham and Eggs and Onions

I no longer have breakfast since starting 16/8 IF but when I did I always had oatmeal and skimmed milk. I found it gave me a decent balance of carbs, protein and fat and wasn’t a huge amount of calories.
• Chocolate Banana = Coco powder and banana with a teaspoon of honey
• Coffee & Walnut = Teaspoon of instant coffee, 10g of chopped walnuts with a teaspoon of honey
• Apple Pie = Sprinkle of Cinnamon, chopped fresh apple with a teaspoon of brown sugar

I eat breakfast during the week but not on weekends (unless I make a big "breakfast" for lunch). This is because of how early I have to be up for work so I am hungry earlier.

On weekdays I have one of the following:
Chobani yogurt and cinnamon roasted almonds
Breakfast burrito (different fillings)
2 Scrambled eggs, wheat toast, and fruit (when I work from home)

That is what works for me. You have to find what works for you. It could be something like above. It could be more food or less. It could be nothing. There is no "perfect" breakfast. It is 100% a personal decision.

There is no best breakfast. I enjoy 2 eggs with bread + butter, bacon, veggies with olive oil. For some that can represent half of their daily calories.

Black coffee and dark chocolate (100 calories worth) is my favorite breakfast. It works for me. It’s just about finding what works for you.
