    I recently started a job that has me working pretty early, so I've started eating breakfast more regularly. I ate the same thing every day last week: 200 grams of plain quark (it's like yogurt, but better!) mixed with 1 tablespoon of Nutella, some berries, and 1 serving of Special K protein cereal. It comes out around 400 calories depending on how much fruit I put in and around 50 grams of carbs, 7 grams of fat, and 36 grams of protein.

    I tend to eat the same breakfast at least on weekdays because it's easy for work.

    Thin sandwich roll, 2 eggs scrambled with a little bit of chopped spinach, and a slice of low sodium turkey bacon.

    267 cal, 23g carbs, 13g fat, 18g protein.

    I eat the same breakfast every day:
    1 egg + 1/4 cup egg whites scrambled with a bit of milk
    15g shredded cheese on top when cooked + 1/2 tbsp. ketchup
    65-80g of back bacon (depends on slice size)
    242 cal, 3.5C, 11F, 31P
    I workout in the evening so my nutrition coach suggested I push my carbs to later in the day, so this is what I do and it seems to work for me. I usually snack on nuts about 3 hours later which are mostly fat, but a bit of carbs/protein.

    I pretty much eat the same thing every day because I'm short on time and don't want to derail the rest of my day with a high calorie high fat breakfast during the week...

    1/2 cup bran cereal (either Fiber One Original, or some other 100% bran for the fiber)
    1/2 medium banana
    1/2 cup light vanilla almond milk
    2 scoop (60g protein) protein isolate shake
    multivitamin, etc.
    BCAA's (If I exercised before breakfast)

    It keeps my breakfast around 500 calories or less, but is a great start to the day with fiber, protein, and vitamins. No matter what happens the rest of the day, I started the day right.

    On the weekends I eat the same breakfast, then work out after sleeping in a bit longer. Then I eat a 'breakfast' for lunch/brunch usually eggs/sausage/whatever I miss during the week.

    For breakfast every day, I eat 2 regular eggs and 3/4 cup egg whites with spinach, onions, mushrooms or whatever veggies.

    In additional to that, I also have a carb, either 3/4 cup rolled oats, or 3 slices ezekiel bread, or 2 full ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffins, or 8oz potatos.

    Sometimes I'll do half ezekiel and half potatos, or whatever combination for about the same total amount of carbs.

    I usually precook my breakfasts, just so its ready and I dont eat somethig i shouldnt. So..its usually;
    2 hard boiled eggs
    1oz of bacon or 2oz of sausage
    2 cups of spinach
    About 2oz of a fruit of some sort
    Splash of lime
    Olive oil

    Almost a breakfast salad. I find this fills me up enough that I can skip my morning snack and save that snack for after my work out. Sometimes, if I can and it works with the rest of my days intake, I add seeds or nuts to the breakfast salad as well..

    On the odd day I'll make plain oatmeal with 1/2tbsp of honey, plop some fruit in there and a half a cup of milk on the side, but I find the breakfast salad makes me feller for longer.

    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.
