What do you eat for breakfast?

On weekdays, it's one slice of whole grain toast (25 g) with almond butter (~16 g) and honey/jam/marmalade (15 g of whichever one). That's about 250 calories. I'm not a big breakfast person. If I'm still hungry, I add a glass of milk and/or a banana.

On the weekend, it's 2 eggs and one or two slices of buttered whole grain toast. Occasionally, my toddler talks me into making pancakes instead (from scratch; whole grain; if I put blueberries or chocolate chips in them, I don't need syrup; my husband and son still do).

I have about three go-to breakfasts, all of which I have alongside coffee and milk:

1. Uncle Toby's flavoured porridge, 15g chia seeds, 150mL full-cream milk (if I have uni or work, this is always the go)
2. poached egg and half an avocado, smashed, on toast
3. fruit smoothie - banana, mango, coconut milk, chia seeds

All of these come out to approx. 1500kJ, or 360 kcals, once you include the coffee. Lately I've started adding a serve of protein powder to the smoothie, which increases that by about 500kJ. I find them all nicely filling, but they're not exactly loaded with protein (except my recent smoothies) so I feel like I have to play catch-up the rest of the day.

I have 2 go to breakfasts:

1. At the beginning of the week I will roast a whole bunch of veggies. This week it was 3 colored peppers and an onion. Last week it was mushrooms, zucchini, and red onions. I will eat about 100 grams of that with 2 eggs that I cook in the microwave. I was also roasting potatoes and adding that to it. So I would combine 100 g of veggies + 2 eggs + 3 oz roasted potatoes and make a "breakfast bowl".

2. When I didn't get a chance to roast my veggies, I do 40 g of oatmeal cooked in water with 16-32 g of peanut butter (depending on how hungry I am) mixed in the oatmeal with 2 teaspoons brown sugar.

My favourite is a whole wheat english muffin with avocado, a fried egg and salsa for around 300 calories.

I don't always eat before noon, but if I do it's usually an 'everything' bagel with cream cheese or 2 packets of instant flavored oatmeal (made with water).

Coffee. If I eat breakfast I'm starving all day for whatever reason

Unsweetened oatmeal (instant or steel cut oats, my favorite) with a sliced apple.
And black coffee.

2 eggs, scrambled with a splash of skim milk and topped with Franks Red Hot sauce, a slice of good ol' fashioned Kraft American cheese, and a slice of lunchmeat ham. And about 24oz of coffee.

One of my "no cook" go-to weekday breakfasts is a half-cup of 2% cottage cheese plus a slice of whole grain toast with peanut butter.

The fat and protein keep me feeling full until lunch, and you can vary the amount of cottage cheese or nut butter to suit your tastes/calorie goals.

3 Pete and Gerrys egg omelette with shredded cheese and chopped broccoli mixed in
Add texas pete and pepper

I pretty much eat the same thing every morning.
Two (sometimes three) slices of whole grain toast with peanut butter and jam with a coffee.
It actually keeps me very full at least for a few hours.

Me too - my weekday breakfasts are coffee, with sweetner and half and half. But my favourite meal to eat out is breakfast - at anytime of the day, and my "omg I cant think of anything for dinner" dinner, which is two eggs over medium, 3 slices of bacon, rye toast with peanut butter and of course - coffee. I like this meal because it is filling for me, a good protein hit, its usually available anywhere at anytime on the weekends, it doesnt create any weird comments or looks from my friends, or cause the server any headache trying to accommodate restrictive requests, and I can easily track the calories in it.

I rotate between a few:

Oats with Greek yogurt + frozen blue berries + chia seeds
Oats with Greek yogurt + half a serving of cranberry nut trail mix + chia seeds and pumpkin pie spice
Banana whole wheat waffles with Greek yogurt and fruit
Greek yogurt with kashi cereal and fruit
protein powder, whole milk and coffee (sometimes) with a PB rice cake

I buy full fat everything, most of these keep me quiet full until my next meal.

Morning food makes me hungry all day too...I just call my first food of the day breakfast to make myself feel better
