How much do you eat for breakfast?

makena78

I had 2 eggo whole wheat waffles with green tea. sometimes a bagel thin with low fat cream cheese. heck sometimes I have pasta for breakfast. I find eating good in the morning helps me to stay full longer throughout the day. I'm not so hungry and I can burn those carbs off all day instead of a cup of pasta sitting in my body all night after dinner.

The only reason my breakfast was kind of "Kingly" today was because it had a lot of carbs in it. I would usually add some strawberries...but I didn't have that choice today! lol My other two meals are actually usually about the same calorie wise but I try and be more careful on the carbs later in the day.

I try to eat like that. Emphasis on try. If I'm hungry, I'm hungry, but generally I try to eat the most in the morning, which isn't always easy!

I have a habit of eating breakfast on the go, so most often times it's a LUNA, Zone, or Nature Valley peanut butter granola bar and a Spark drink.

When I have time, I like to fry an egg (nonstick egg pan, so no butter or spray needed) and slap it on a single piece of lightly buttered whole grain or wheat toast, sprinkled with a bit of salt, pepper and cheddar cheese. It's under 300 calories, but does keep me full until lunchtime, usually. Other times, I'll make myself a smoothie with frozen berries, vanilla greek yogurt and some protein powder.

I eat 200-350 calories for breakfast, 400-500 for lunch, and 300-400 for dinner.

Pretty much this... (although I don't make a rule of it or anything...)

Wow, I could not tolerate that many carbs in the morning! I know that's the best time to have them, but I get sooo hungry around 10am if I only have cereal.

I usually have plain greek yogurt yogurt with 1/2c kashi crunch and berries or an egg on a bagel thin or a frozen waffle with greek yogurt and fruit or an omelette filled with veggies or beans.

Also keep in mind that I am a strict 1200 calorie eater, I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day...so 325 with high carbs is pretty kingly for breakfast! Especially when I used to just grab a bowl of cereal and go.

Oatmeal or (2) cups of cereal with milk. That usually holds me until lunchtime.

That's what I had this morning along with an apple. Keeps me full for a while too.

Quite the opposite for me. I'm not usually hungry at breakfast but I force myself to eat a small bowl of cereal with milk.

Lunch & dinner is much tastier so I tend to eat a lot more then. Which isn't a good thing.

i usually eat between 250-350 calories for breakfast, but what I am eating keeps me full for hours. I usually make something that includes eggs or peanut butter, both of which are so filling!

I make a breakfast sandwich sometimes: whole wheat english muffin, 1 egg over easy, slice of low fat cheese, and sometimes 1 slice turkey bacon.

Sometimes I just make an omelet: 2 eggs whisked with some water, a tablespoon or so of cheese, ham, or maybe veggies.

Another quick option: whole wheat english muffin with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Also: coffee:bigsmile:

Ah... OK - that makes a lot more sense then! :-) I eat between 1800-2200 calories, so a 'kingly' meal in my book is 800-1000 calories.

4 eggwhites, 1 thin corn tortilla, 1 sliced tomato.

I usually eat a quick bowl of cereal in the mornings. I wish I had more time but I get to work before 7 a.m. and it is usally hard toget up before 6 if I don't have to. I am usually starving by lunch time.

I am learning to eat to hunger. I am never hungry in the mornings. I eat my biggest meal around 3pm. I then have a bit of a meal around 8pm at night! It is working for me. I am losing weight at about 1/2 pound every other day.

I have a protein smoothie most days w/ 1.5-2 scoops of protein. This is usually 450 calories or so.

I eat about that many calories for lunch and dinner also.

Snacks throughout the day are 2-3 at around 150-200 calories.

On workout days or very active days I try to plan for larger meals at breakfast and lunch even though I usually get my workouts in the evening. I just don't like eating a heavy dinner anymore, especially after an evening workout.

Beebs33

5 eggs whites with mushrooms
Oatmeal with crunch peanut butter and about a quarter of an apple with cinnamon on it (I cook the apples at the beginning of the week). I like to add this 0 calorie caramel from Walden Farms that I found.
I drink about 3 cups of water in the morning too.

This is normally between 400 - 425 calories. On my higher calories days (zig zag), I eat 3 egg whites with one whole egg.

gdortiz

cup of cereal, 1/2 cup of skim ...usually around 200 cals.

snack mid morning ...

i rather have my calories saved at night so I have something to look forward to, also helps in the event the unexpected invite and/or friend pops by.

I usually have a small breakfast and a small dinner, with lunch being the big one. It's good for me because all my meals used to be king meals. Coming from a mexican family, that was a lot of tortillas, chorizo, and beans and rice. Basically a lot of foods high in fat. Now, I either have oatmeal or toast for breakfast. I can't give up my carbs, still eat bread but now it's whole wheat only and I try not to overdo it everyday.

ummm may I ask, what idea lol you didn't post any?

eveunderground

I would like to eat that way (king, prince, pauper), but like many others I do the reverse. It all comes down to time and enjoyment of the meal. I have the least amount of time for breakfast and the most time for dinner....and since I like to enjoy my meals I'd rather have more calories to use when I have more time to eat them.

So I eat 200ish for breakfast, 300-400 for lunch, 500-600 for dinner, and a couple of snacks in between meals.

The nutritionist at my health food store has the opinion that most adult onset diseases are caused by unstable blood sugar issues over a lifetime. I have no health issues, but decided to take this approach to spacing out meals for my diet

So that being said, I am spreading out my meals and snack as evenly as possible throughout the day. I prefer to start with a high protein warm breakfast as I am usually hungry after my coffee in the morning. Today I started with a low carb tortilla filled with 4 egg whites, 1 yolk, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, tomato, onion, and a table spoon of feta cheese. 257 calories.

Mid morning snack, 100 calorie yogurt.
