I have an egg omelet and cheese pita every morning for breakfast. 150 calories.

How does that come out to 150? Seems like a lot of food. Sounds yummy too.

None. I simply can't eat in the mornings. Even the thought of food turns my stomach. So I wait until later and eat about noon or 1PM, then dinner, and usually a snack before bed.

Don't eat baby food. Take a multivitamin in the morning but you need actual food. Try a salad with diced carrots, mushrooms, ect with a vinaigrette dressing or caeser dressing. Either way you need actual food.

As far as breakfast, I eat 3 pieces of turkey bacon and it's a total of 90 calories.

Today I ate a pastry, corn&rlce, green salad, carrot etc and they were 734 calories at total. Normally I would take around 300, but I have an appetite problem lately which I think is psychological. I will skip lunch and eat a well-nutritient dinner. I bought organic milupa baby food, which I am sure tastes horrible but well in nutritients.

Usually I have about 400 calories for breakfast. Once I had closer to 800 calories and found it didn't keep me full for much longer than my normal breakfast.

Yes this is exactly what I realized, no matter how big my meal is I will eventually in a few hours feel hungry. So I lowered the calories for all my meals.

I need more calories for breakfast, makes me less hungry for the rest of the day. When I have a smaller breakfast, my total intake for the day is actually larger.

500-700 calories
2 whole eggs, 2 slices of bacon, half a cup of kefir with maple syrup, coffee. Sometimes I'll switch the bacon for another meat source. Gives me a good start on my protein goal!

I just have porridge mixed with my whey protein for breakfast.

Yeah, enough protein & healthy fat... higher calories... The usual suspects!
I will say I generally toggle between big breakfast/lighter lunch or visa versa because I find that satiating. The net calories of my breakfasts and lunches together about equals my dinners. I only have snacks if my workout schedule dictates.

I eat a cup of plain yogurt. Usually under 200 calories unless its the weekend.

Usually have a 40g serving of oatmeal with 100ml soya milk at about 200 cals, sometimes also have a slice of wholemeal toast with dairy-free spread and low sugar jam or marmalade which takes it up to about 360 cals.

Your eating baby food?

Just have a nice chicken breast with a huge side salad for dinner and then you'll still have enough calories to have some soup or a salad for lunch.
Try not to punish yourself because you have divided your calories in a different way to the way you normally do. This has to become sustainable or you won't succeed long term.

Why not eat at maintenance level for the day? Don't be hard on yourself

Yes, I met a woman who eats baby food 3 times a day for her diet. She was aiming to lose weight. and she seemed healthy enough.

That sounds miserable and not sustainable at all. Life's too short to be punishing yourself by eating baby food! I love food and enjoy eating well and watching the calories.

How many 200lb babies have you seen?!

Some kind of crustless quiche - this one is BLT 150 calories for two wedges.

Looks yum!

Breakfast is the meal where I get about half of my 2600 daily calories for the past year. Breakfast was important when I worked on the farm doing a lot of manual labor.

One reason was with my 40 years of IBS I would try and eat then get stabilized before leaving the house. Since my way of eating for the past year has cured my IBS I may look at eating less breakfast.

I think the major problem here guys are people skipping breakfast, that's just dumb.

OP I think your posts of late have indicated that you have some real issues with setting and adhering to realistic, healthy caloric goals. Eating baby food for 3 meals a day, does that really sound like a good idea?

To answer your original question - my weekday breakfasts are usually either:
Greek yogurt, coffee, flavored creamer ~250 cals
Frozen breakfast sandwich, coffee, flavored creamer ~350 cals
Bowl of cereal, coffee, creamer ~300 cals

Weekends we have pancakes, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon... 500-800 cals usually on those days.
