    Weekdays - One medium hard boiled egg w/a little salt and garlic, and a slice of turkey bacon (65 cals in the egg, 25 in the turkey bacon), plus coffee with a little creamer (I don't count that) - weekends, usually 1/4 cup egg whites, two small pinches of cheddar, and a slice of two of turkey bacon... depends on how hungry I am... (egg whites, 31 cals, cheese about 20 and I logged the turkey bacon above). 0 carbs.

    It depends on the day...

    During the work week I usually alternate between an omelette with red chile and cheese with sourdough or whole grain toast and a banana or whole oats with some peanut butter and sliced up banana and a drizzle of honey.

    On the weekends I branch out a bit more and don't have a "regular"....this past Saturday for example I had some polenta with sauteed mushrooms and scrambled eggs. On Sunday I had scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes...

    I can't give you the calorie or macros as I don't log.

    Roughly 350-400 calories in one of three usual breakfasts:

    Smoothie made mostly of veg (lately I like spaghetti squash, green pepper, and spinach, but it depends on what I have on hand), strawberries, protein powder, homemade cashew milk, and greek yogurt.

    Steel cut oats with some kind of fruit and protein powder, and vegetables on the side, sometimes I add hemp hearts or have some smoked salmon or leftover chicken with the veg.

    Vegetable omelet (usually 2-3 vegetables, at least one is greens like spinach or kale) with either smoked salmon or cottage cheese or greek yogurt on the side.

    All have 30+ grams of protein, otherwise the macros vary a lot.

    Whatever I'm in the mood for, honestly. Oatmeal, toast with eggs, toast with nut butter, Greek yogurt and granola bar, pancakes, last night's leftovers... Today I was naughty and had a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin and some rice pudding...

    Usually it's around 350-450 calories and I try to have at least 20g of protein in there. On a good day it keeps me full for 3-4 hours.

    I switch between two different breakfasts so I don't get bored. I eat breakfast at my desk Mon-Thurs, Friday no breakfast due to eating at a restaurant for lunch. Saturday is a breakfast burrito from Chic-fil-a and Sunday is sometimes at IHOP :) I'm more active on the weekends (starting with Friday) so I'm less strict those three days.

    Yogurt Fruit Mixture: Chobani Plain Yogurt 5.3 oz., Whole Foods Nut Mixture 1/8 cup, Frozen Blueberries 3 oz. , Gala Apple 4 oz. Total Macros = Cal 254, Fiber 6, Carbs 41, Protein 18, Sugar 27, Fat 0.

    Overnight Oats:
    Old Fashioned Oats 0.5 cup, Silk Almond Milk Unsweetened 1 cup, Frozen Blueberries 0.5 cup, Nutella 1 tsp., Whole Foods Nut Mixture 1/4 cup, Banana 3.5 oz. Total Macros = Cal 475, Fiber 10, Carbs 70, Protein 13, Sugar 21, Fat 8.

    Hope this helps.

    Eggs, omelette usually or some kind of breakfast sandwich 300-500 calories. breakfast is usually my biggest meal of the day (and my favorite). Sometimes oatmeal or some other cereal.

    Given that I have a pretty healthy calorie allowance and my personal preference leans towards eating 75% of my calories by about 1pm (lol) a hell of a lot. 3-4 homemade chia and flax Muffins, a carb wise bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese, eggs and bacon with protein fluff....it's happened lol
