Breakfast- what are others eating?

I've always heard breakfast is the most important meal if the day to kick start your metabolism. Because of this I try to avoid skipping breakfast. I've also heard including protein in your breakfast is important. My life is busy and I usually eat breakfast at my desk in the morning. I'm wondering what others eat for breakfast or if anyone has suggestions for on-the-go protein focused breakfast options.
Thanks! : )

I usually have greek yogurt, banana or other fruit, and then granola or a few walnuts on top...quick and easy. Can definitely take with you to work1

I usually have cereal with milk. I also like to eat fruits or bread with honey or jam. In general something sweet, I cant eat anything salty in the morning0

I have my Thrive lifestyle mix, it has 15g of protein and fills me up until about 10am. Then I want eggs and veggies0

@happyfamilee Is that a protein shake? I feel like I'd be hungry a hour later! Lol : )1

There's actually plenty of evidence showing that meal timing doesn't matter. You don't "kick start" your metabolism; it's going to keep burning calories no matter when you eat. Meal timing and size of meals is personal preference based on how you feel and how you perform.
That said, I personally find eating something small and protein-heavy helps my energy levels while keeping me full until lunch. I'll have a protein shake with fruit and spinach blended into it, a Quest bar with a piece of fruit, oatmeal with protein powder added to it, or sliced turkey and string cheese with an apple. I'm way too lazy to cook in the mornings, and I also eat at my desk.2 -
A typical breakfast consists of a serving of cereal (roughly 50g depending on variety and serving size), a banana, 30g frozen raspberries and 80ml 2% milk, equaling to about 420 calories. Since switching to this formula I've noticed I'm staying satiated longer early in the day, I have less trouble with nausea and overall better digestive performance. I still can't eat prior to early morning exercise (tummy aches and nausea) but for a low impact morning this seems to be the perfect combo.0

I have one cup of 2% cottage cheese, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 2 tbsp flaxseed. It's 280 calories and 25 mg of protein. I make it in a Tupperware container the night before so if I don't have time to eat before I go to work, I can take it with me.2

That should have said 25 grams of protein, not 25 mg.

I have either weetabix, shredded wheat, porridge or toast, and try to vary it each day
I try to stay away from high sugar items like muesli, yoghurt, granola, which make me crave sugary food all day1 -
Omelette with avocado and quinoa muffins !0

I've been having egg white (125g) omelette with capsicum, smoked salmon (50g) and higher protein cheese (25g). C7/F10/P35 - approx 265cals. I head to work early so need something easy to prep and eat whilst sitting in traffic!1

Two slices of toast with peanut butter and jam and some coffee.1

I like overnight oats. I make them with almond milk, a scoop of my chocolate protein powder, a little bit of honey, and then sometimes I throw in some powdered peanut butter. They take on a pudding consistency and it tastes like a treat. And super filling.0

Protien bar and water on the way to work.1

Nearly every weekday:
A "paleo breakfast casserole" (eggs, chorizo, sweet potatoes), a banana, and either a Greek yogurt or oatmeal.0 -
Usually Oatmeal porridge with dried fruits and cinnamon or a Protein shakes with half of a banana and frozen strawberries.1
-
Eggs and ham!!1
-
either 2 hardboiled eggs or a bit of plain, whole milk greek yogurt. I try to keep breakfast under 150 calories, but high protein/fat as that helps keep me satiated.0

Because my total day is only 1200 calories. 150 has seemed to be the nice, happy medium that keeps me happy until lunch but also leaves me enough calories for lunch and dinner. Basically breakfast has been the hardest hit for cutting out calories to meet my deficit, but only because it's where I could cut so many calories and not be unhappy. If I tried having a small lunch or dinner, I'd be a sad lady.0 -
