You can eat breakfast any time.3

It's not necessarily a bad start. I know a lot of people out there say that breakfast is essential to weight loss, but it really isn't. Plenty of people are happy, healthy, and successful while skipping breakfast. If you feel okay without breakfast, then it's not a bad start.
Of course plenty of others, myself included, want breakfast so we're not as hungry through the day. That's cool, too.
That said, some of my go-to breakfasts:
Just coffee
Greek yogurt
Mini egg frittatas (I make a batch on the weekends and pop them in the microwave in the morning)
Overnight oats
Steel cut oats with fruit & protein powder
Bagel thin with whipped cream cheese and lox
Mashed avocado on toast
Blueberry pancakes (I eat mine with Greek yogurt instead of syrup)
Scrambled eggs & veggies
Leftovers from yesterday
Eggs on toast
Fried egg on a sandwich slim with cheese
Protein shake with fruit, yogurt, & protein powder
Fried egg on a multigrain waffle
Fried egg and hummus on a toasted sandwich thin6 -
And for someone like me.................................there is no traditional morning breakfast. I skip altogether and consume the majority of my calories at dinner.

usually i make a smaller version of whatever my lunch is. Or tofu scramble, toast with various toppings, wraps etc2
-
2 pieces of ryebread with biled egg/ nutella/cheese/sliced meats or whatever else is handy1
-
I eat the same everyday - a boiled egg and a piece of dark rye toast with 20 g peanut butter. Keeps me going for ages3
-
I have oatmeal often and lately that means most every morning. But my oatmeal has evolved from rolled oats to steel cut oats to a 50/50 mixture of steel cut oats and buckwheat groats. I don't think my big corner grocery store sells buckwheat groats. They are really toasted seeds and look like this:
Sometimes they are called Kasha which can also refer to a porridge. I buy them at a reasonable price from a nearby ethnic Mediterranean Grocery store that specializes in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Halal (Muslim) products.3 -
Breakfast is usually my most caloric meal of the day - that seems to work out best for my blood sugar. I usually have cottage cheese with salsa, and steel cut oats made with milk, apples, cranberries, vanilla, and cinnamon, with a tbsp of almond butter added. 500 calories more or less and refuels my engines without spiking my sugar levels.2
-
porridge with sunflower & pumpkin seeds and chocolate drops. yum!2
-
I eat breakfast around 1-2pm.
Having a cereal bar and a banana today1 -

Are you using dried cranberries. I used some of those in my oatmeal the other day. Looked at calories after the fact wow lots of calories in a little bit. Going to stick to my frozen blueberries.

Dried fruit may be higher in calories but they are also high in nutrients. Nothing wrong with them.
@rheddmobile Tagging you so you see it.2 -
Generally I just have a big mug of tea.0
-
I generally don't do breakfast, but I did have a Thomas high fiber English muffin with a slice of cheese on it today. And plenty of black coffee.1
-
Depends on the day...yesterday I had two fried eggs on toast with an avocado and some ham. Today I had two boiled eggs, a fruit mix, and some ham and cheese. Sometimes I skip it altogether...sometimes I have a Cliff Bar or something if I'm on the go. Sometimes just some coffee and creamer.1
-
Today I had a protein shake and a coffee afterwards a little later in the day.1
-
I usually eat in the car on the way to work. I usually grab a poptart, not very healthy, but it is quick and I'm allowed a little bit of extra sugar, since I am low protein. Weekends I eat cereal or make pancakes or waffles.0
-
Low sugar brown sugar oatmeal or dairy free yogurt alternative with granola.1
-
Egg on English muffin with margarine and franks hot sauce. Weekday special lol, I eat it in the car on my commute.1
-
Breakfast is whenever you first eat after waking, regardless of the time.
Today I'm having zucchini protein pancakes with a iced coffee/protein shake. At about 1pm
Other days it's eggs and vegies. Or a sandwich. Or satay chicken and vegies. Or yoghurt with protein powder and nuts/berries. Or whatever I feel like eating!2 -
I eat around 10 or 11 - have switched to three meals a day no snacks and seeing a big difference in fat loss and maintenance. I find I am not as hungry. My go-to breakfast is two hard-boiled eggs with Frank's Hot Sauce and a homemade chia pudding.2

I'm using fresh cranberries, dried cranberries are delicious but usually made with added sugar which isn't good for my diabetes. Although I do sometimes eat dried cranberries on a chicken wrap with pesto - I have to limit myself to about a tbsp or it spikes my levels. Fresh cranberries also make a good addition to hot tea.
Fresh and frozen berries of most kinds have pretty low sugar for the amount of sweetness they contain - frozen blueberries sounds great!2 -
Sometimes I have absolutely no time to make breakfast so usually a cereal bar, smoothie or some fruit.
Some days I'll have scrambled eggs on a slice of toast or sweet chilli and avocado on toast.1 -
Oats made by pouring boiling water to soften, then added frozen berries and greek yogurt, plus home made ham cheese egg English muffin heated in microwave1

This week I'm having toast spread with homemade liver pate --at least, it's what I grew up calling pate. It's just cooked poultry liver (we always made it from the turkey liver at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas if we had another turkey, but I didn't cook a turkey this year, so I made it from a pound of chicken livers, which made a much bigger batch than a single turkey liver would) mashed up with mayo, lemon juice, salt, and diced hard-boiled egg. The recipe my mother used called for raw chopped onion, but I saute the onion, with a little thyme if I have it, and I sometimes add a splash of cognac or cherry liqueur. So tasty. As a kid I always liked it spread on a sandwich of leftover turkey in lieu of mayo, but without the turkey, there's no leftover turkey (funny how that works

I'm having Greek yoghurt with fruit and baobab powder.1
-
Yesterday, pancakes with almond butter and syrup, scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee.
