    Honey nut Cheerios & milk
    Smoked salmon & cream cheese scrambled eggs
    Fried eggs on toast
    Bagel & cream cheese (not super healthy but hey)

    Secret weapon: 2 ingredient pancakes
    Mash a banana, stir with 2 eggs, pour into frying pan. Add things to make delicious - cinnamon, 2 tsp maple syrup. Shockingly good.

    Other secret weapon. Make cream cheese go further for the same calories by cutting with Greek yogurt 1:1 and stirring in some dill.

    I don’t tend to advocate diet food, preferring to eat smaller portions over eating slightly off versions of things I love, but these two finds were great for me

    First breakfast (straight after a run): green smoothie of OJ, cucumber, celery, leafy greens, banana, protein powder. 4 serves of veg!
    Second breakfast (usually about 3 hours later): bircher muesli variation of soaked grains/seeds with fruit, nuts and high protein yoghurt...keeps me going until about 2pm

    I do IF so my breakfast is usually around noon, but it’s probably my favorite meal and is the same thing everyday: Some sort of English muffin (I’ve been rotating regular wheat, banana bread, and cinnamon raisin), toasted with PB2, and 2-3 eggs scrambled.

    Breakfast is my favorite meal, so many options. Some of my favorites:

    - overnight oats 1/2 cup, almond milk 1/2 cup, chia seeds 1T, slivered almonds 1T
    - Poached egg over kale, tomatoes, avocado, flax meal
    - Whole grain toast with avocado, smoked salmon, tomato
    - Siggi’s yogurt with chia seeds, berries

    All above are quite filling, keeping me sated well until lunch.

    It's hard for me to eat breakfast, but it's a must....my breakfast is a Premier Protein shake and maybe a piece of fruit. That's everyday, especially weekends, when I struggle to stay on track.

    Two hardboiled eggs, half an avocado and coffee... or a breakfast sandwich made with one of those low carb English muffin recipes. On occasion I just reheat leftover soup and put it in a travel mug

    Weekends are usually some kind of egg thing... omlette, benedict

    One of my favorite breakfast meals is French toast (yummm). I like to use 3 slices of the Sarah Lee, 80 calorie breads and a half cup of egg whites. Then top it with some sugar free syrup and strawberries. ❤️

    I like to mix peanut butter (the no sugar added type), dark chocolate chips, flax seed meal, and rasberries to my oatmeal.
    Other breakfast options I enjoy are
    -chocolate protein shake with almond milk, spinach, 1/2 avacado, chia seeds, and frozen berries
    -frittatas (veggies and cheese)
    -sweet potato hash with onion, green pepper, rosemary, thyme, jalapeños and an egg
    - omelette filled with tuna or salmon, and sautéed spinach, mushroom, and feta
    - 1/2 baked acorn squash, fill the hole with a bit of Greek yogurt, drizzle sugar free peanut butter on top, and add nuts or a little granola
    - One slice of multigrain toast with two tablespoons of hummus and a sliced 1/2 avacado on top
    - 3 ingredient cookie (banana, oatmeal, dark chocolate chips)
    I know there are more but these are a few of my faves I can think of at the moment

    Usually a slice of toast and marmite and cup of coffee before my run, then something more substantial after.
    Could be a couple of slices of toast if I fancy more bread or a bowl of porridge, usually with fruit or sultanas, maybe fruit and yoghurt. Recently I've been making baked oatmeals with fruit, a square of that warmed through for a minute in the microwave is easy and quick. With more coffee.

    I usually have a bowl of fruit with some kind of yoghurt. That might be blueberries and vanilla Skyr, or it might be pear and kefir, depending on whim. Sometimes I accompany it with oat biscuits or a slice of malt loaf.

    I’m trying to change it up a bit on weekends when I have more time; last weekend I made a sweet omelette with my fruit, which was delicious.

    Coffee with about 80 calories of honey, maybe a little oil (hemp or coconut). Otherwise, ~100 cal of high sugar fruit bar. This is before a lot of cardio, though....

    On off days, fat free or 2% yogurt (depending on hunger) with 1/2 large apple cut into pieces.

    I have been enjoying half a scoop (17g) of MP Cookies n Cream protein powder, mixed into 175g of Olympic Natural Propiotic 6% yogurt. I stirred in half a tbsp (8g) of Adam's smooth peanut butter today. It was delicious.

    I've never been a big breakfast eater. It makes my stomach queasy for some reason. When in deficit mode I just eat a banana until lunch. When in maintenance, a bannana, some bread, and then a snack around 10am.

    It varies. Two poached eggs on high fiber light toast; a protein drink; an omelet with cheese, onions, a couple of eggs, peppers, sausage crumbles and salsa; high fiber oatmeal with bananas and tablespoon of extra chunky peanut butter; raisin brain with berries.
