What does your breakfast consist of?

When I get to work, I have a cup of black coffee and a tall glass of cold water.

What is "good" about oats and eggs that you couldn't get from something else?

If I ate that every day (or any day), I'd be sad - life is way too short to eat things you don't like. I save my calories for later in the day and get plenty of "goodies" in then. Whatever they are?

Breakfast is whatever you eat. Doesn't have to be specific "breakfast foods".

Breakfast isn't necessarily "the most important meal of the day". Meal timing is irrelevant, calories are what you track for weight management.

No need to label foods good or bad. Losing weight doesn't have to be miserable. Just eat less of what you normally do. Food scale for accuracy. Good luck dude.

Why eat things you don't like? Eat things you do like.

For me I have several breakfast choices: spinach/cheese omelette / poached eggs on wholewheat toast/ ciabatta toasted topped with sauteed mushrooms/wilted spinach/ cheese / scrambled eggs on toast / porridge with banana honey. I look forward to my delicious made in minutes breakfasts every single day

I don't eat until I get hungry which is typically mid - late morning, but I eat what I like.

Sometimes it's a homemade blueberry protein Belgian waffle, a protein smoothie or cinnamon-raisin steel cut oatmeal etc.

Yesterday I had pizza and today I'm making a veggie omelette with berries on the side.

I can't do eggs or oatmeal anymore. Oatmeal tastes like cardboard unless I put 300 calories of stuff in it, and eggs (unless sunny side up and runny, and forget just egg whites) make me gag. Especially first thing in the morning.

Really, starting your day eating something that you don't like will not help you.

For me, it's black coffee, then when I get hungry (typically 1-2 hours after I get up), whatever I'm in the mood for - sometimes leftovers, sometimes a yogurt and a granola bar, sometimes just some fruit if I'm just a bit hungry. Sometimes a bagel with cream cheese.

It's not the most important meal of the day for everyone. That was a marketing slogan by cereal companies.

I like breakfast, and if you like breakfast, eat it, definitely, but if you don't you don't have to.

My own goals for breakfast (like all meals) is to get in some protein and vegetables. I really enjoy oatmeal,
but don't eat it as much as I otherwise would since it's not so good for those purposes. I might make savory oats and add an egg (sunnyside up) and some green veg, and that's delicious, or I add some protein powder or plain greek yogurt plus berries and nuts and just have some veg on the side.

For months I had a 2 egg vegetable omelet with a little feta cheese and either greek yogurt, cottage cheese,
or smoked salmon on the side. That was good for my vegetables and protein goals (higher protein than any of my tasty oats concoctions unless I use protein powder).

Now I often have smoothies. Many find them not filling, so I can't totally recommend them, but they work for me and I like being lazy and also that I can sip on them while doing on my other morning things (well,
other than working out if I do that in the morning). My usually smoothie involves avocado, a LOT of frozen greens (spinach, kale, or both, usually), some other vegetable (often pre roasted winter squash, but there are many options), homemade cashew milk (this includes cashews, if I don't have it I might toss in some nuts or seeds), protein powder, and some fruit (a serving or two), usually berries. Obviously the details get changed up a bunch.

I'd say eat something that fills you up and that you enjoy.

You can customize your eggs...One recipe I'm really loving nowadays is I take 2 tbsp of El Paso Mild Salsa and put it on a heated pan, then cut up some onions and sprinkle those on the salsa, then I break two eggs on top of the salsa (like sunny side up eggs) and top it with green chillies split lengthwise. Cook it for a few minutes till the yolks reach your desired consistency. You have your quick version nbof a shakshuka ready! Have it with 2 slices of Weight Watchers bread and this becomes such a filling meal. I generally have a hard time eating lunch after this.

Hi all, those are great ideas! Here’s the morning routine I've found that works best for me.

I drink 2 big glasses of water upon arising, put on my workout clothes, do some stretches, make my green drink and drink it 20 minutes before hopping on the treadmill for 30 minutes, with water bottle handy.

After the treadmill I start cooking 1 serving of steel-cut oats with stevia, coconut oil, vanilla and cinnamon for 30 minutes.

While my breakfast is cooking I do 15 minutes circuit training. When finished, I drink another big glass of water and check my breakfast. Just before the oats are done I cook two eggs, top off the steel-cut oats with blueberries and enjoy while watching or listening to something motivational for 20 to 30 minutes. Then it's off to the shower and on with the rest of my day!

If I find I am crunched for time I will either cook the steel-oats while on the treadmill or cook the steel-cut oats in a thermos the night before. I also have scottish oats on hand that only take about 10 minutes to cook, just in case something unexpected comes up.

This has been my routine for close to a year now and I always look forward to enjoying my breakfast after my morning workout!

- low prep foods like Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit, cottage cheese, instant oatmeal
- usually just drink water

I eat keto so mine will be different. I eat:

1oz onion, cooked
1oz mushroom, cooked
1-2 oz sausage, cooked (measured before cooking)
2eggs
All scrambled up with a 1/2oz cheese and 1T sour cream.
And....
16oz coffee
3 squeezes of my sugar free sweetener
2T sugar free to rank coffee syrup and
3T half & half.

Every day is the same. I mix my proteins up though. I switch between sausage, bacon or steak.

I have been doing some research and came to the conclusion that every morning I will be having a cup of coffee (sorry but not black), oatmeal (tastes horrible but they say it’s one of the best), and 2 hard boiled eggs (with or without yolk?) Just wanted to maybe get some other options from you guys and hear what y’all make for your breakfast. As they say it’s the most important meal so I really want to focus on getting all the “goodies” in just in case the rest of my day doesn’t go as planned!

Why would you eat oatmeal if you don’t like it? There’s no reason to eat something you don’t like. It’s not as though you need oatmeal to be healthy or to lose weight.

Eat the egg yolks if you like them. Don’t if you don’t. Just log them if you do.

Breakfast being the most important meal of the day is just a dumb saying. It’s not a fact.
For that matter, whatever you eat first after waking up is technically breakfast even if you eat it at 2pm.

Eat what you like. Log it.

I rarely eat breakfast.
