    For me it also depends on what you call breakfast. I don't eat anything when I wake up, I usually work out in the morning and then eat my first meal around 10:30. It ranges from 300-400 calories depending on the time/how hungry I am.

    Zero.

    If I eat breakfast I find myself wanting to eat all day long. I'm better off with a Berocca drink or herbal tea until at least mid morning or lunchtime.

    Thanks guys! Interesting to see that everyone has their own way of making it work. Some completely opposite strategies. Thanks for taking the time to put your two cents in!

    I eat between 250-350 calories every 3 hours for a total of 1500 calories per day. My first meal of the day tends to be around 300 calories or slightly less.

    It really just depends on how hungry I am. Today, the majority of my "breakfast" calories came from my coffee (more specifically, my coffee creamer). Some mornings though, I wake up very hungry, so I'll eat an egg, a piece of toast with butter or cream cheese, and spinach. Other mornings I eat oatmeal with greek yogurt mixed in. Typically my bfast cals are between 300 and 500.

    On a normal day I aim for 200-300 calories and then have a morning snack of about 150 calories.

    My actual calorie counts wouldn't be very useful for you, but as a general rule I eat about 25% of my daily calories, give or take, for breakfast. Then I have about another 30% as "lunch" (snacks throughout the day) and leave 45% for supper and dessert.

    Roughly a quarter of the day's total calories, i.e. when I aim to eat between 1200-1400 kcal on the day, my breakfast usually comes out at 280-350 kcal (porridge with fruit or Weetabix with fruit). During the week I will then have a second breakfast with a similar calorie amount 3-4 hours later (yoghurt or quark with tons of fruit). The percentage is not something I consciously plan, it just happens.
