    I dont see a reason why you need someones permission or judgement on what to eat.

    Last night I made scallops on pasta with a light cream sauce and peas. It was delish, and I only ate about half of it. It's 9am here and I'm craving it for breakfast. Is that weird to eat something like this for breakfast? Does anyone else eat non traditional food for breakfast? When I was in Thailand I ate soup every morning and it was the bomb.

    nothing weird at all. I've been eating leftover chili for breakfast. :)

    I always found it interesting how majority of the American population think of desserts/cakes (i.e. donuts, pancakes smothered in syrup, sugary cereal) as “normal” breakfast food. No wonder there is an obesity/diabetic epidemic.

    I think your scallops on pasta with peas sounds much more healthy and filling than the typical breakfast pastry. I’m an intermittent faster, but in the rare occasion I do eat breakfast, I’d much rather eat dinner leftovers than traditional breakfast. I’ve also gotten the kids in the habit of eating leftover dinner/veggies for breakfast instead if cereal or waffles.

    Oh wait just a minute now. Pancakes, pastries, donuts........NOT breakfast foods?? ;) I do know it'd be highly dangerous for a person like me to take a job at Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme. I have to stay away from those 'breakfast foods'(to me they're anytime foods :(). Just going to be a fact of life for me now.

    What is "traditional food for breakfast"?

    food is food and the idea that one type of food is more suitable than another depending on the time of day it is eaten is one of most useful ideas that I've thrown away.

    I eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and as long as I'm staying within my calorie budget, those choices of what and when have zero impact on my overall weight goals.

    good luck and enjoy!

    While visiting Japan I ate sushi at the tsukiji fish market at around 7 am. I thought it would be weird but it turned out to be amazing!! Pho for breakfast in Vietnam. I think the concept of breakfast food in America is mostly just corporate advertising.

    I so agree! When in Bangkok, the hotel had a huge breakfast buffet and had "areas" such as "Indian", "American", etc. In the American section it was mostly pancakes, waffles and pastries. This is what other cultures think we eat every day.

    i just spent 6 days with my colleagues in the DR at an all inclusive resort. 7 of us from USA and 2 from Italy.
    My breakfast choices were: rice, beans, eggs, and chicken from the buffet.
    The other USA folks ate big portions of pastries with a side of bacon or sausage, and a little bit of fruit.
    The Italians ate smaller portions of pastry, big portions of fruit and fruit juices, and a small amount of protein.

    American breakfast foods are sponsored by the sugar, corn, and wheat producers. That's my opinion based on a combo of observation and advertising, along with entire aisles in the grocery store devoted to dry boxed cereal.

    I had breakfast for dinner tonight. It's my go-to meal after a long stressful work day.

    I love Asian soup for breakfast. Maybe I will pull some out of the freezer and have it tmrw AM for breakfast. (I made up a bunch before the cold killed my Thai basil.)

    That is clearly some non-Americans' perception of "American" foods, as in the U.S. it would not be labeled "American food" (or "snackies" for that matter).

    There's a quote from Mark Twain - "If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first."

    So with that in mind I eat veggie smoothies with some protein powder for breakfast.

    Am I allowed to cook the frogs first? And does eating a frog mean just eating the muscle, or is this a "snout-to-tail" definition of eating a frog? Because I've eaten frog meat, and it was no chore. It tasted enough like chicken that I believed it when I was told it was chicken (I was a small child and had not yet learned that adults lie to children when it is convenient).

    A co-worker once shared a chicken wing, or so I thought until I bit into a tiny scapula. 😕

    I work 3rd shift. Sometimes when I get home I"ll have "breakfast" foods and sometimes I"ll have "dinner" foods. Just depends on what sounds good at the time.

    Even when I worked during the day I ate whatever sounded good at the time.

    Much to my mother's chagrin, I've always enjoyed non-breakfast foods for breakfast.
    There's no reason to only eat traditional breakfast foods in the morning.
    Food is food.

    More likely a hip. Yum.
    I, too, was a small child the first time I tried frog legs but my parents had no need to lie. I was excited to finally try them at long last. I thought it was super cool.

    I still like em. 10/10 would have for breakfast.

    Ah. Thought you were talking about a frog. Lol
    Squirrel is good too but I prefer rabbit.
