How big is your breakfast?

I usually don't eat breakfast.

Cup of coffee

I get 1200 calories per day, so I evenly divide them between Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Vitamins/Evening Snacks. If I have a special occasion, I will do a lighter calorie, high volume (still filling) bfast & lunch and water so I don't feel hungry but can save more calories for a beer and dinner out or if I have a party to go to.

I eat about 100-150 calories every two hours from 6:30 a.m. til noon ... hard boiled egg, banana, yogurt, baby bel cheese etc ... I have carrots and bell peppers and toss the egg yolk if I'm having a hungry day. And coffee.

My breakfast is usually under 300 calories. Greek yogurt, hard boiled egg and slice of rye toast most mornings. Easily satisfies me until lunch.

I started mfp with a calorie goal that was much too low, and thus went from not ever wanting breakfast to being starving in the morning. I've since adjusted calories to something more sustainable, but I've stuck with having a light breakfast and packing a snack for later in the morning. Then I'm able to eat a late lunch which actually tides me over until dinner. I used to grab a snack on the way home or raid the pantry for snacks when I got home, so this adjustment has been helpful for me.

Usually my first meal of the day winds up between 350 - 450 calories. I only eat two decent meals, and a mid-day snack of a banana & yogurt.

Usually non-existent. Some days it's just a cup of low calorie hot chocolate. Other days it's a bowl of cereal.

My breakfast tends to vary from 150-250 calories. Probably for the next month or so it will be at 250 as I work through several boxes of instant breakfast that I found in the back of the cupboard.

When i first started this last year I did best by eating a large breakfast like 500 to 600 calories. I get about 1900 daily and I've always been a volume eater.

The last couple months I noticed I was way too full to the point of being a little ill so I cut back to about 300 to 400 for breakfast most days. Sometimes even less but then i have second breakfast a few hours later. I have found some options that work for me to keep me full for that meal and I use the extra calories for something else later in the day now.

Bigger breakfast usually serves me better, in terms of staying satiated through the day (but this varies by individual). I do have a smaller breakfast if I'm rushing out to work out (spin class or rowing), but then have my standard breakfast later for lunch.

Standard breakfast: Oatmeal with greek yogurt, mixed berries (frozen ones, thawed), walnuts, sweetened with 1Tbsp all-fruit spread, with one or two cups of coffee that each have 3/4C hot skimmed milk. 483 calories, with two coffees. (I'm at 1700 net, heading into maintenance, usually around 1900 or so actual eating, including exercise).

Light breakfast: 2Tbsp crunchy natural peanut butter on a Coco Lite Whole Wheat Pop Cake (it's a tortilla-sized cracker-like thing that's mostly air - about 20 calories), 3/4C of skim milk with vanilla extract, 1/2C or 3/4C kefir. That's 381 calories, with the larger serving of kefir.

I try to keep it between 200-250. I have always been just a boring cereal eater for breakfast but that was dragging down my protein for the day. So I eat the special k protein cereal now, two servings with skim milk. I've tried various things but for me nothing beats a big bowl of cereal.

Breakfast foods are my favorite! I don't eat until 11am but then I have a big breakfast sandwich with egg whites, turkey bacon and a homemade hoagie bun. With my coffee it's about 500 calories. It's my favorite meal of the day!

Coffee with creamer and Greek yogurt. 250-300 calories.

Breakfast is supposed to be the biggest meal of the day. Not only that, but the most important meal of the day. Think about it this way: you can starve yourself until 12 and then feel like you deserve a bunch of unhealthy food or, you can eat a balanced breakfast and eat a more healthy lunch because you are less hungry and are aware that you have eaten other things. I like to eat oatmeal, applesauce, bagels and fruit like bananas and grapes also chobani yogurt. According to health blogs they seem to say you are supposed to eat a good amount of protein, fiber and potassium in the morning to keep you full!
