Whatever fits into your goals
I find this kind of response is quite hilarious. It goes without saying that most people's goal here is to lose weight. So, yeah ..eat, do whatever that fits into your goal of losing weight! Very helpful. LOL.
OP, for breakfast I tend to have only a fancy coffee (a bit richer in creamer and sugar). I don't need much after a good dinner from previous evening and a rest. Try skipping bfast if you don't have heavy activities in the AM.0 -
Pizza is usually a great breakfast.3

Food you like that fits your goals and satisfies you.
You might find protein foods more filling or a combination of different food types. You might prefer a larger breakfast and smaller lunches and dinners or the other way around. There isn't a one size fits all formula for how to eat your calories.
Breakfast for me is typically Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, or fruit. Usually it is about 200-300 calories.

What do you like? I like coffee first thing...
Sometimes I make mini banana muffins. I modify a banana bread recipe (sub low-fat plain yogurt for sour cream, use half the butter and sugar, use whole wheat flour and oatmeal instead of all-purpose.) Sometimes I even add a scoop of plain protein powder. One or two of those is really yummy with my coffee.
I guess it really depends on if you want to cook or not. Greek yogurt and banana or a protein bar are grab and go, or you can cook up some eggs or hot cereal.1 -
start with a low cal protein shake, then mid morning a protein bar, light lunch of salad with some meat, and then have a good balanced dinner with a light protein snack before sleeping a full 8 hours, don't ever skip meals as your body with go into a starvation mode and you wont lose anything, remember to have 8 8oz glasses of water each day. even if you drink other liquids to. You will loose

bacon and eggs. boom, breakfast solved.
starvation mode alert! All hands on deck.5 -
Thanks for asking. I'd say a higher protein meal or shake and some fruit. That way your body's metabolism had a chance to restart and you get some natural sugars for some natural energy. Good luck. Keep trying.0

I try to have a breakfast of about 300-350 calories but have a variety of things I will eat. On the weekends I will make either a fried or scrambled egg with a slice of low cal toast or light English muffin. Usually during the week I will have some form of oatmeal, I prefer steel cut, with low fat Greek yogurt and a little honey or fruit mixed in. Sometimes I will make a yogurt parfait with Greek yogurt, some fruit, and a little granola. I will add a little honey to the yogurt as I use the plain and not flavored. I have also found some low cal muffin, pancake, and breakfast cookie recipes that I will use occasionally. I like corn flakes, shredded wheat, or rice krispies with a banana and 1% milk upon occasion, although I have found that doesn't stick with me as well as some other things. The main thing is to find something you enjoy eating and within your calorie goals. As someone else has said, it really doesn't matter what you eat, just how much.0

Helping people understand that they can eat what they will so long as they're hitting their targets calorie wise is helpful IMO. A lot of people think they need to eat something special or that particular foods hinder weightloss or whatever...which obviously isn't the case.7 -
Old fashion oats with fruit and some nuts washed down with a protein shake.1
-
porridge or yogurt with fruit and a few nuts, some honey mixed in is yummy, I like a little cereal on top of the yogurt too, eggs, bacon, toast with peanut butter and a banana... the list is endless, as you can see above! whatever you fancy, so long as its within your goals1

Exactly how I read what @malibu927 wrote as well. I didn't see it as a flip response, I saw it as a response of you can eat whatever you enjoy as long as it fits in your day.
For instance someone also mentioned they ate pizza for breakfast...nothing wrong with that if it all fits in at the end of their day. The other day someone mentioned cold leftover spaghetti... I just finished and apple and a piece of cheese myself. lol I'm headed to the pool...I'll eat more when I get home. @twix529
@cwolfman13 responses also are clear and helpful to me....
good luck OP...you'll get lots of helpful responses

I have never been a big breakfast person. I drink hot tea and eat a banana on the commute. Then eat yogurt once I have things opened up and going at work. I log it all as breakfast but it stretches out over about a 2-3 hour time span.1

First off.... Starvation mode is a myth unless you are on Biggest Loser or in a concentration camp... It isnt going to happen.
Next up 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water is also a myth. If your pee is clear you are hydrated no madtter how much fluid you are drinking.
I do not believe in drinking my calories so protein shakes are a supplement not a meal same with protein (candy) bars.
Skipping meals is fine if you are not hungry

There are so many great options, and everyone's preference may not be the same. At our place, we tried various things until we found something that both my daughter and I like and leaves us feeling good. (full, but not stuffed)
We usually start the day with an egg, basted or scrambled, with potatoes, spinach or power greens, meat, cheese, peppers and onions, tomato, and toast. Everything is measured and generally breakfast (with coffee) is about 250 calories. My daughter will usually add a 100 calorie smoothie with unsweetened cashew milk, protein powder and fruit.0 -
The most filling breakfast for me involves a nice blend of macros. Carbs with protein and some fat.
A small (or part of a larger) weighed baked sweet or white potato topped with a cooked egg or two or an egg and egg whites, a little salsa or hot sauce, and a weighed dollup of plain greek yogurt is very filling.
I also make breakfast taco or burrito. Scrambles eggs with salsa and/or other veggies and sometimes cheese and sometimes a little lean chicken or turkey sausage.
Oatmeal flavored how you like with an egg cooked into it so you get more filling protein. If you mix the eggs in while it's cooking you won't even know it's in there as far as taste. It makes the oatmeal rich and luscious.
Toast or english muffin with a small omelet or scrambled eggs/whites. Make a sandwich out of that too. Smear on a little laughing cow cheese for more flavor.
All of this is easily tailored to your calorie needs. If you do eggs I'd recommend at least 1 whole egg then either another egg or add some egg whites (less calories) to make the meal bigger. There is a wide range of breads available for different calories. A taco shell or corn tortilla can be pretty low calorie. Tweak amounts of each ingredient to fit your needs - do this in your food diary before cooking.
Cereal and smoothies or other liquid breakfasts do not keep me full at all and I end up eating more calories overall or staying hungry that day. I save cereal as a late night snack (if I have calories left) and smoothies I treat as a snack or dessert since some can be pretty high calories.

I'm glad you're starting to get it.2 -
I quite enjoy porridge mostly made with water with a dash of milk and some fruit. It fills me up and it's about 250 calories.On the weekend when I get a bit more time I make a omelette with lots of veggies in and a little bit of bread on the side for about 450 calories. Both are very filling for me and I don't always want much lunch.0

If you're not hungry or a breakfast person, you don't have to eat breakfast. Some days I start my eating until lunchtime... or have breakfast at lunch.
If I eat breakfast, I'll eat
any kind of cereal with milk,
PB&J sandwich,
French toast,
Pancakes,
Beans & eggs with some fried plantains,
Pupusas,
Tacos,
Oatmeal,
Coffee with some pan dulce or donuts (any pastries),
Breakfast from McD's,
Eggs with carne asada and some tortillas (corn or flour, depending what I'm in the mood for),
Chicken flautas with salsa verde and sour cream,
... the list can go and on. It's all about what you like to eat and at the end of the day you meet your calorie goal (after all, a calorie deficit is what's needed for weight loss). Make whatever foods you love fit into your day (some people like to pre-log their day to see what meals will fit throughout the day).
