    I've heard that you should make breakfast OR lunch the biggest meal of the day. I usually have greek yogurt for breakfast, sometimes an egg mcmuffin. Then at about 10-10:30, I'll have a chocolite protein bar (www.healthsmartfoods.com) for the protein and fiber.

    If strawberries do it for you in the morning, and you're not hungry, then it shouldn't be a problem. Go with what works until it doesn't work any more.

    When I have a breakfast meal (I usually don't eat until 11 or so) I tend to rely on English muffins, eggs, and some kind of meat (bacon, ham, sausage) as my go-to. I dress it up and down, make it lighter or heavier, or sometimes switch it up... but those three things are my breakfast choices 90% of the time.

    I go through phases where breakfast foods appeal to me and phases where they don't. I never worry about eating breakfast foods or at a breakfast time; I'm not hungry in the mornings and I lose weight faster/have more energy for work if I do a modified IF routine that doesn't include a morning meal. As long as you hit your nutrition targets it doesn't really matter when you it or how you divide your goals.

    Today I had greek yogurt with strawberries mixed in, a banana on the side, and grabbed two clementines after as well, as I had my breakfast late due to having to have a fasted blood test. :) I love a lot of sweetness in the morning, and find the greek yogurt helps me stay full

    Not a huge breakfast fan here either. I usually have just a dannon light and fit greek yogurt at about 10 AM.

    Listen to your body. If you're not hungry, and you can make it to lunch without having a junk food attack (healthy snacks are fine if they fit within your calorie goals), then I would say don't worry about it.

    I eat 2 hard-boiled eggs and a banana. If I have oatmeal, I have 1/2 or 3/4 cup, very little on the side, if anything. I often have an apple for a snack around 10 am, but if I don't, I'm fine until lunch. By the time lunch rolls around, I'm hungry, but not starved.

    You could always play around with a heavier breakfast and see if it makes a difference for you. But ultimately, do what works for you.

    I drink lots and lots of coffee, and around 1 this afternoon I'm planning on having Bacon sandwiches and homemade tomato soup since that will be my first meal of the day, that's my breakfast.

    I'm not going to go read through all these posts again but I believe this forum was where I saw someone mix peanut butter with oatmeal. As I'm adamant that I need peanut butter in the morning or my day is not complete, I tried this this morning. I mixed 1tbsp PB with lower sugar brown sugar and maple oatmeal and some frozen blueberries on the side. Best. Breakfast. Ever.

    I get hungriest at night and that is when I tend to over eat (even if I eat a hearty big breakfast) so I like to save more calories for my dinner time and maybe a little snack or dessert. I usually eat 1 egg with 1 or 2 eggwhites, piece of low-cal wheat toast or a wheat free waffle (trader joes), tbs of peanut butter and maybe some fruit. I try to keep my breakfast between 250-300 calories.

    Kellogg's Flatbread sausage sandwich. So yummy and 240 cals and easy. I know it's processed but much better than some of the other options out there!

    During the week, I have 1 1/2 cup oat meal with fruit. The weekends two egg vegetable omelette with fruit. I have been told that lunch should be the largest meal. For me, sometimes it is and sometimes it's not.
