New! Day 1 is starting with black coffee. What’s for breakfast?

    Generically, anything that you enjoy eating that fits in your calorie goal, tends to keep you feeling reasonably full until near your next meal, and ideally contributes something to your overall nutrition for the day.

    What exactly is that? Varies individually, so it may take some experimenting.

    I had oatmeal with plain nonfat Greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries (thawed), peanut butter powder, cinnamon, hemp seeds, ground flax seeds, walnuts, a small amount of blackstrap molasses; coffee with lots of skim milk on the side, and a glass of cold matcha with a lime wedge. I've found I do best with a solid breakfast with plenty of protein, but other people make different choices, including some who like it best to skip breakfast altogether.

    There's a whole thread about people's breakfasts here, where you can see that different people's breakfasts vary widely:

    Best wishes for success!

    My favourite tip for breakfast is to remember that the idea of "breakfast food" is a total construct. It's just the first meal of the day, eat what suits you and your goals. It doesn't have to be eggs, cereal, oats etc.

    Generally, I have soup. It's warming, filling, comforting, easy to heat and go, so low effort, there's countless varieties, and it's a great way to start my day with a hefty serve of veggies :)

    Nice! Mine is scrambled eggs with spinach and a side of avocado. Simple, filling, and low carb.

    coffee with collagen powder

    A small Sugar Bee apple (my new fave!) for quick morning carbs

    A large serving of chocolate peanut butter protein brownie-pancakes with peanut butter frosting and chocolate hagel slag sprinkles.

    Almost 500 calories - I’ve got a busy busy morning planned. Fully expect to turn my “move ring” at least four times before lunch, maybe even five. Gotta fuel for it.

    May indulge in a mid-morning protein bar between workouts.

    Wasn’t able to swim Tuesday because I helped pull flags from our quarter of the city. American flags on civic holidays are a big fundraiser for my husband’s Kiwanis (but a huge nuisance to put out and retrieve).

    Looking forward to a nice cardio class and a long swim.

    Hi, welcome. Mine was coffee and a post-workout protein chocolate shake. I made a second batch as a snack for the afternoon.
