What did YOU eat for breakfast?

verbalriot

Breakfast is a must for me, I always wake up hungry.

My go-to on hot summer days is Chobani plain yogurt (so creamy!) with Kashi Go Lean or Kashi Good Friends cereal, a banana, and a cup of black coffee. Overnight oats (yogurt, mashed banana or pumpkin puree, oats and chia seeds) are a good one too.

In the winter, I love oatmeal cooked in half water, half soy milk and banana. Also a bit of peanut butter for good measure.

Sounds like you're not eating enough. and there's just no way you're getting all that your body needs at dinner.... Plus it doesn't reallly help to just eat one real meal a day. It's not just how many calories you eat - you have to feed your body properly and not eating enough is doing your body a serious disservice.

For breakfast I had -
2/3 cup plain greek yogurt + 1 packet splenda + 1/3 cup canned pumpkin + 1/2 scoop vanilla protein + cinnamon

I am glad you posted. i would love to know everyones answers as well. i have been doing this for 5 days and am so lost. breskfast seems to be my biggest mystery.

i try to always eat one carb, (such as toast or cereal) one protein or dairy, (such as eggs or milk) and some fruit. you should always try to get breakfast because it gives you a metabolism boost. also, if you are used to only eating two meals a day, then go for breakfast and lunch, because most of the fat from those is burned by the time you go to bed, and most of the fat from dinner ends up as stored fat if it isn't burned before you go to sleep. just a tip!

Meal timing has no impact on metabolism, all other things being equal. Plus, on a deficit, meal/macro timing has no impact on fat loss.

I have a differing opinion and feel that meal timing does have an impact on metabolism. If you eat right before going to bed, you are not giving yourself time to digest and burn some of those calories off in waking hours. But more importantly, breakfast jump starts your metabolism in the morning.

After dinner or even a snack at night, you are not conuming anything for the rest of the night and while sleeping. That is give or take eight hours of not fueling up. So the timing of it - and eating breakfast in the morning helps to kick your metabolism back in gear each day.

Yeah one day here one day there is not going to make much difference but over time it is important and the timing does have an impact. The eating five to six meals small meals today spaced out every three to four hours definitely has an impact on metabolism.

That is just not the case. Your metabolism does not stop at night and meal timing is irrelevent. If you have credible evidence that, all things being equal (calories and macros), your metabolism is impacted by eating breakfast v not eating breakfast, or eating 1 meal v 6, please could you share it.

My go to breakfast on the weekends is usually one egg plus two egg whites, scrambled, with either strawberries or an orange. Before I was dieting, it was like 1-2 HUGE bowls of cereal (usually Kashi Toasted Oats) along with two pieces of toast and a banana. That was probably like 500-600 calories and well over 100 g of carbs just for breakfast.

On M-F I usually have one piece of fruit and one vegetable at work for breakfast (usually an orange and yellow squash) along with some nuts (almonds or pistachios). If I worked out pretty hard in the morning I'll have a protein shake instead, but I usually need something solid in order to feel satisfied. I'd eat eggs every day for breakfast but I have to leave the house at 6 am and I have neither the time nor the desire to face eggs at 5:30 in the morning.

i had two packs of strawberries and cream oatmeal and a glass of water.

I switch around every day. A fried egg, fruit, celery/peanut butter, Greek yogurt, guacamole omelette.....today a box of raisins.
Oatmeal is too filling for me but once in awhile.

Vivian06703188

Most mornings and I mean almost every morning. I eat Old Fashioned Oatmeal I put various types of frozen fruit in the oatmeal before I zap it for 2 minutes in the microwave. It is quick, easy, tasty and filling. Not the quick oats I hate those mushy oats. I also have one or two cups of coffee, then I'm good till lunch.

The time I consume my calories has no effect on my weight loss. I eat when I'm hungry but I eat healthy food and no junk. I will get up in the middle of the night occasionally have have something to eat if I'm hungry and as long as I don't go over my calories I'm good as gold.

I normally have a boiled egg, some fruit and coffee, but today and yesterday, I had a hot dog. I already beat myself up about it, but I also tracked it. And, it was delicious. I'm sorry!! I just love them so because i didn't eat them as a kid. That was the only bad thing I had. Baby steps for me!!

Babygi6003

My breakfast depends on how hungry I am and if I got up late or not. It ranges from yogurt to oatmeal or in some cases slim fast(I know, some would argue that's not really breakfast) and anything in between, really it depends also on what I'm hungry for.

TheEffort

I usual eat oatmeal, almonds, and either a peanut butter sandwich or a protein shake (well I drink the shake but you get gyst) for breakfast, right after my workout.
