what does a typical breakfast look like for you?

Toast, half an avocado & a fried egg. Yum!

I usually make a smoothie 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup greens (spinach, chard, or Kale), whey, 1 table spoon of chia seeds, 1/2 cup of plain Chobani greek yogurt. On fast days it's 3 hard boiled eggs. This is good thread because I have gone back and forth a lot with this meal. I have had carb heavy (cereal and coffee cake), carb light egg whites and spinach with hot sauce, and everything in between. Since I am focusing more on mindful eating I don't eat right away if I am not hungry. I used to try get 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking via the slow carb diet.

I don't always have breakfast (skip it if not hungry), but when I do, I aim for more protein and fewer carbs. I save my carbs for later in the day. Carbs tend to set me up for more hunger and cravings and crazy bloat.

So, when I do eat breakfast, it will usually involve some eggs, with or without a meat side (could be leftover dinner meat), and some sort of veg (in an omelette or on the side, like sauteed bell peppers, mushrooms...whatever).

A protein drink and a big fruit smoothie with ground flax seeds.

I used to have to get up at 4am every day to be at work at 5.30. That's too early to have the energy to chew, but at the same time I knew I had to eat something because my first break would be after 11 (I worked in a kitchen, where eating meant breaking food hygiene protocol = getting fired).
The habit stuck even now in my new 9-5 job.

My Breakfast is a protein shake of 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, red raspberries, banana, peaches, and when available cranberries. Add an ounce of milled flax seed and chia seeds. Plus bodylogix whey powder and 1 cup skim milk. All the fruit is hella carbs and lots of nutrition. I put it on Fiber One cereal and that's so big a breakfast I save half the shake to put on cereal for the next day. I nuke the frozen fruits to make them soft enough to blend or use fresh fruits in season.

during the week, mcdonalds- yogurt parfait or about half a sausage egg cheese mcmuffin lol

Mine is usually a slice of plain bread or if I will be eating more carbs later in the day I will do a bowl of egg beaters.

I eat my biggest meal of the day in the morning, I always include a starchy food for quick energy to get my body going for my day. Vegetables or Fruit is important also, this especially benefits someone who works out with weights pretty regularly. I add pea protein on almost everything I eat, protein helps keep us full and is important if you wish to muscle development. Protein, Starchy food and a fruit and vegetable is a good breakfast.

I'll either eat oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, or I'll make a kind of deconstructed omelet: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, spinach, onion, bacon (the microwave kind, chopped up). Tastes delicious!
