    Porridge is great, and don't sleep on gruel!

    Quacamole on toast is simple and filling. You can add an egg to it if you prefer.
    I usually make it beforehand and would last for a week or so sharing with my daughter.
    It’s simple to make with a blender. But if you have mad chopping skill that’s doable too and will be pleasantly surprised with the texture.

    I like my egg whites and protein shake with a side of fruit. It's easy to grab and take on the go so I don't skip breakfast and overeat for lunch.

    I try to keep it simple on the weekdays: avocado toast, spinach and egg white omelette, or plain greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and fresh berries. I like to indulge on the weekends with half a bagel topped with low fat cream cheese, two slices of smoked salmon, and capers.

    I do not understand how people regularly cook or make complicated breakfasts. I don't have the time in the morning for that. The internet keeps telling me I should up my breakfast game, but I'm good at ignoring it :wink:

    Personally I have a bowl of sugar free muesli and milk every morning. Sometimes I chuck in some flavoured yogurt if I'm bored. Occasionally I'll have some toast with jam, in the winter I often have porridge. Nothing that take any time at all to prepare. If it takes more than 3 minutes to make, then I don't do it.


    Most things I make would look “complicated” to someone who doesn’t cook... that being said a breakfast sandwich is super easy so most days it takes me 2-5 min to make my food in the morning. It all comes down to how lazy someone is. Now how much time they have.

    I'm not sure that's fair, if you have sausages & eggs in a muffin, unless everything was already cooked, I'm not sure how that can be less than 5 minutes to make. Grilling sausages take at least 10 minutes (often more), fried or poached eggs take at least 3. Add prep time (boiling water, heating the pan/grill up, actually assembling the sandwich) it would be at least 12-15 minutes. This is time in the morning I'd rather spend in bed.

    I'm a very competent cook thank you and if you would like to call me lazy I'd rather you did it in a direct manner, as opposed to a sideways one.

    My OH cooks up a whole package of bacon at a time and freezes it. It's ready for breakfast after 30 seconds in the microwave. I have an English muffin with egg, cheese, and bacon at least once a week.

    Most mornings I have a smoothie that I've prepped the night before.

    5'4 and 120 pounds here!
    and I'm not sure what I should eat for breakfast?
    currently I have two slices of toasted ezekiel bread spread with natural peanut butter and a cup of unsweetened almond milk.
    I used to have steel cut oats with banana, toasted almonds, and peanut butter.
    got too lazy to make that every morning (oof.)
    now I'm not sure if I should switch back to that or try something new?
    I've struggled a bit with eating a while back, and am mostly trying to maintain a good relationship with food while also trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
    any suggestions? thanks so much in advance!

    Eat whatever food you like that fits your goals and satisfies you. Look at your whole day when trying to eat healthier. You want foods that all together meet your needs.
    Eat food that you would eat other times of the day for breakfast. Don't confine yourself to "breakfast food".

    If you want more protein at breakfast you could eat things like meat, eggs, cottage cheese, beans, yogurt.
    If you want more vegetables for breakfast you could eat roasted vegetables, stir fry, vegetable soup, veggies and hummus, salad, baked potato.
    If you want more fruit for breakfast grab a whole piece of fruit, fruit salad, fruit smoothie, baked apple.
    If you want more fats for breakfast you could have things like full fat dairy, whole eggs, avocado, nut butters, flax seed, salmon.
    If you want more carbs for breakfast you could have things like oatmeal, bread, pasta, rice, farina, cereal, beans, vegetables, fruits, dairy, granola bar.

    You could eat pizza or a sandwich for breakfast.
