How many calories do you eat at breakfast? I find a lot of days it's my biggest calorie meal, but not my biggest food meal.

    I heard the biggest meal should be your breakfast as you will burn it all day. I usually eat about 300 calories sometime 400. I do yogurt or cereal before morning exercise then one or the other after exercise or an omelette.

    300-400ish.

    Anything less and I'm ravenous within a couple of hours.

    So far it goes between 700 and 1100 calories and is most of the time the biggest calorie meal for me.

    I usually eat somewhere between 200 to 250 calories for breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day, so I wouldn't worry about it being your biggest calorie meal. As long as you're making healthy food choices and feeling satiated as well, it should be fine.

    I usually do 350-400, starting off with a banana and coffee. Then a bowl of cereal. Usually those serving sizes of 3/4 cup cereal does not do it for me, so I do more......Either way, I'm hungry within a couple of hours.

    I have about 200cal within about 2hrs of getting up (Sobe Bar @6am) then about 400-500 a couple hours later (breakfast @8 or 9am).

    If I don't front load my day, I binge at night.

    around 300. Egg white omlette, handful of spinach, two slices of turkey bacon, one turkey breakfast sausage link. yummm. I used to try to only eat 100 calories for breakfast, but I am finding it helpful to eat more at breakfast now.

    Around 250 calories. I usually have a piece of fruit (apple or banana) and raw nuts or homemade trail mix.

    Around 400 everyday, sometimes a wee bit more. I find it I eat less I'm starving within two hours. Haha. It's kind of strange but probably due to not eating a couple of hours before bed.

    Under 300 cal. w/ a multi-vitamin, milk, cereal, coffee and non-dairy creamer during the week day. During the weekend jelly, 1 piece of toast, and an egg (sometimes bacon if I'd been good).

    I could easily eat half or more of my daily calories at breakfast because I typically wake up ravenous and I just love breakfast. However, I try to keep it to around 300 because eating a big breakfast doesn't seem to keep me from wanting to eat the normal amount of calories for my other meals.

    I just looked at your diary. Your daily goal is 3,220 calories!!! :noway: That seems extremely HIGH and I do not think you are going to see weight loss or a change in your body if you are consuming that many calories and especially breakfasts at 700-1100 calories :noway:

    I write this out of concern for you and your health.

    When I am at home, about 200, but then I have to have fruit or an energy bar of around 100 cal later in the morning. When on the road, I do about 500-600, as I love getting omelets, bacon, and pineapple in hotel breakfast buffets. Alas, it means I have to cut back later or just know that I will be maintaining that day instead of losing.
