    400 with my macros at high protein and fat. Full-fat yogurts and eggs and pumpkin oatmeal, usually. Sometimes I add a handful of almonds and a protein shake to front load on big workout days.

    Usually around 250-300 (which is usually a combo of two of 50g peppered mackerel or smoked salmon, a boiled egg, and/or a small slice of sourdough). If I'm planning a big lunch or dinner I'll aim to keep it under 150 (usually an apple with some chopped figs sprinkled with cinnamon).

    I usually struggle not to eat more sourdough but not because I'm not full, just because sourdough's so tasty.

    3-400 usually. I have a double serving of a hearty porridge (red river or steel cut oats usually), some espresso and a cup of whole milk divided between my coffee and porridge. I don't generally have a morning snack, this holds me up until lunch.

    My calories are currently at 1915 so I still get a decent lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and possibly dessert.

    it ranges from 150-350cal. 150cal is when i eat a slice of bread with a triangle la vache qui rit, 350 is milk and cornflakes.

    @ZeroDelta that egg sandwich looks amazing! Plus way lower calories than most breakfast sandwich type things. Where do you get it?

    Anywhere from 270 to 400--depends on what I'm having which can be oatmeal, egg, bacon, frosted mini wheats, milk, yogurt, granola bar. Quite often I'll combine these. It also depends on if I'm having something higher in calories in the evening for supper. I try my best to even it out calorie-wise so I can stay at 1350.

    Porridge with a handful of raisins, a small banana and a pot of coffee as a bare minimum. Usually anything between 4-600 calories before midday (I'm always hungry in the morning, I often walk 3-4 miles before breakfast).

    Usually 300 - 350 calories for me. During the week I'm up early so starving by 8am. I have a seedy porridge with a banana made with water usually.

    However although this should keep me full until lunchtime. it doesn't so I'm usually enjoying a snack by 10:30 either popcorn or fruit.

    I don't usually fancy breakfast during the working week, so I just grab an Alpen Light bar (jaffa cake flavour - yum!). It's 65 calories and has 4.4g of fibre which I think is pretty impressive. I'm UK-based so don't know if these are available elsewhere.

    I use to go until the afternoon without eating and would eat healthy without binging. I still eat somewhat healthy but I eat breakfast now, usually 400-500 calories. I like to have high fat and protein in the AM. Coconut/olive oil everywhere

    Nothing really, spent years forcing myself to eat early only to feel hungrier in a couple of hours the days I ate. Now a couple of black coffees in the morning and maybe a cheese string or ham keep me going. I don't suffer from low sugar drops , so that helps. I eat moderately for lunch have a late afternoon snacking session and a big dinner same as rest of family and if I've done enough excersize another snack late

    Most mornings around 300 - 350 and it's usually porridge. Weekends when I have more time I like to go for a walk and burn off some extra calories then come home and have a bacon and egg sandwich and a cuppa. I look forward to that sandwich soooooo much when I am out walking lol.

    About 350-400 calories. It's one of my bigger meals, but that's because I don't get the opportunity to eat another decent meal for 5-8 hours (any snacks that I might have between breakfast and lunch would typically be <100 calories, like a cup of applesauce to bring up a low blood sugar).

    I just discovered these breakfast sandwiches last week. The ones I got have, turkey sausage, also 150 calories. Really quite good, a lot of sodium though.

    I'm currently working with 1200-1300 calories a day, 200-400 of which I tend to spend on breakfast. If I'm lazy I'll just have two medium eggs, hard boiled with a teaspoon of mayo and some salt. That's roughly 204 calories. Other days I'll either have miso soup (160-350 calories, depending on what I put in it) or a bowl of rice with some pak choi, natto and a poached egg (up to 450 calories). Dinner's usually around 700 calories, and everything else is snacking.

    If we call the first thing I eat in the morning breakfast, than anywhere from 60-200 calories, but a lot of days I don't eat anything until lunch time. This is on a 1800-2200 calorie diet (I'm still eating to lose weight).

    between 180 and 240 each day. During the work week I have Siggi's Skyr (high protein) with a cup of blueberries and on the weekends I have either a poached egg on on piece of wheat toast with a pat of butter OR 2 eggs scrambled with an ounce of ham and one slice of american cheese.
