How much do you eat for breakfast?

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:0 -
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.
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.0 -
4 eggwhites, 1 thin corn tortilla, 1 sliced tomato.0

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.0

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.0

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.0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -
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.0

ummm may I ask, what idea lol you didn't post any?0

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.0 -
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.0
