    40g of all bran with 50ml semi skimmed milk( I don't like much milk in my cereal) is 188 cals and 11g of fiber, I try to aim for about 30g a day but I rarely get there :indifferent:

    Today for me it was 397 calories with 22g of fibre. It was 2 weetabix, a banana and milk. Although that includes the milk I use for the whole day, in teas and also a low calorie hot chocolate (my afternoon treat that stops me raiding the vending machines!)

    Cals = 0, Fiber = 0, Caffeine = Heaps

    Yep.

    If I get up very early though, by 10 a.m. I might have 250g greek yoghurt with sugar free maple syrup and 20g of peanut butter. It's around 250 calories, no fiber, and 30g protein.

    Most days mine is in the 260-300 range depending on how much fruit I add, it's almost always 1/2 cup yogurt, 30 grams granola, and then some combination of blackberries,strawberries,raspberries,blueberries,banana and occasionally pineapple and/or melon depending on what is good value when i am shopping. once seasons hit i imagine I'll add in cherries plums apricots etc as they show up locally
    today as an example
    263 calories
    2gr fat
    50 gr carb
    8 gr fibre
    8 gr protein


    mid morning i'll probably eat a banger or a couple of slices of bacon (I work in a hotel right beside the kitchen really bad for dieting) that will double it

    Coffee is my breakfast. Zero calories or near enough to make no difference, and it works better than fiber.

    Usually 300 - 350 for breakfast. I hope to get 5-10g of fiber but don't always hit that.

    467 calories this morning.

    I had:

    A smoothie made of 1 banana, 100ml coconut milk, handful blueberries and some water.

    Two small slices of rye bread with a dessert spoon of peanut butter.

    I only started my diet a week ago, and I was having smaller breakfasts (because then you feel like you have lots of calories left for the rest of the day) but I actually realised that doesnt work for me. If I have a small breakfast, I start the day feeling hungry, which makes the whole day feel hard. Bigger breakfasts and less later on just seem to work for me. Definitely down to your personal physiology though!

    Breakfast -- Porridge made with Water, Raisins & Banana 340 (ish) per day.

    Tend to consume around 30 to 40 grams fiber each day.

    How many calories is your average breakfast, and how many grams of fiber do you consume on an average day?

    My breakfast is normally around 600 calories. I aim for a minimum of 14g of fiber per day, but not too much more than that.

    I can't believe these folks getting 20g or more of fiber. Aren't you in the crapper all day eating like that? Just curious. I try to make sure I don't go over 20g per day, or I'm hurtin'.

    203 calories, 9g fiber, 18g protein -

    Thomas's 1/3 Daily Fiber English Muffin (100cal /8g fiber /1g protein)
    Egg whites, 97g (50 cal/ 0g fiber /11g protein)
    Peppers (either red or green), 30g (8 cal / 1g fiber / 0g protein)
    Sriracha, 1 tsp (5 cal / 0g fiber / 0g protein / 100% delicious)
    Sargento ultra thin pepper jack, 1 slice (40 cal / 0 fiber / 2g protein)

    Calories for breakfast varies slightly every day, depending on how much pepper I use and how much egg white I pour, but it doesn't vary much.

    For a whole day, I shoot for 35-ish fiber, shooting for 50% carbs/30% protein/20% fat macros.

    I used to be a lot more sensitive to fiber when I was younger I think (hard to tell because I had no idea what I was eating) - I remember if I ate like Raisin Bran or Bran checks for breakfast my morning schedule was now filled. Now that I'm in my 40s I think I've crossed the Rubicon on that sensitivity. With averaging 35g per day during the week I'm only approaching regularity.

    Today I had a homemade dried fruit/seed mix and yogurt for breakfast. It was 370 calories, 4 grams of fiber, 15 protein and 18 fat.

    On weekends, or any day I have time to cook in the morning, my breakfast will be something like 800 calories because I make an egg/cheese/meat heap and put it on an english muffin.

    But yeah they can range anywhere from 150-800, depending on the day.
