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!0 -

I bought organic milupa baby food, which I am sure tastes horrible but well in nutritients.
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.0 -
I just have porridge mixed with my whey protein for breakfast.0

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.0 -
260 calories from a yogurt made with whole milk. I think the higher fat helps keep me satisfied through the morning0

I eat a cup of plain yogurt. Usually under 200 calories unless its the weekend.0

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.0

If I'm losing weight: 0 calories
If I'm maintaining: ~200 calories
If I'm on business travel (not my money ): ~400 calories
Weekends and I went out to Panera: ~800 calories0 -

I eat between 200 and 300 calories if I'm going to have breakfast at all. Often I'll skip it, have a smallish lunch, and keep the bulk of my calories for dinner and wine, though.0

Some kind of crustless quiche - this one is BLT 150 calories for two wedges.
Looks yum!0 -
130. One Fiber One brownie and a bottle of G2. My breakfast and lunch are closer than most people's, so that holds me until lunch just fine.0

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.0 -

Please share the recipe! It looks yummy. I can't get my crustless quiches below ~250cals...probably because of the cheese.

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

Care to elaborate on that? I'm a breakfast person now but I've done 16:8 style IF in the past and don't see a problem with eating in a different pattern than the norm.0 -
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.0 -
400-600 mostly yeaah
Breakfast like i king0
