Holy cow! 700 cals for breakfast?! Do you still lose weight or are you just maintaining?
Do you eat less later in the day then?
The app has me at 1200 calories a day.
Because you picked the most aggressive weekly weight loss possible. Unless you are very very short and practically bedridden, it's lower than you need to go.

I find if I don't eat bfast then I tend to eat more in the evening. But I'm not really hungry at bfast. So I don't always eat. But I'm starving by lunch.
Any go to faves for feeling full through till lunch?
I like having more calories later in the day so break my fast with a coffee/protein powder smoothie.

Usually between 200 and 300 calories.0

600-700 for breakfast. I do my workouts in the morning so I go carb heavy with some protein to fuel me. Then I reduce carbs for the rest of the day, keep the protein high and do about 700 calories per meal.0

For another thread I actually counted this morning it it was just over 1000 which is typical because my three meals are more or less balanced calorie wise. 500 came from the coconut oil which I only do in my first cup of coffee of the day.7

I eat between 300 and 450 usually. I'd say about 75% of what I'd eat for lunch or dinner. I usually do not eat a morning snack. I do usually eat an afternoon snack or a before bed snack, depending on my timing of dinner. I guess you could say I eat 4x a day, not 3.0

I usually have e coffee with cream, and sometimes snack on some peanuts with it. Sometimes I'm hungry and will have a packet of oatmeal or an egg. If not, I take a protein bar with me to work to eat when I do feel hungry. I don't want to end up starving before lunch!0

Some days I eat just a granola bar and a cup of tea or milk, or a fruit. That ends up being about 200-300 calories.
Some days I make a bigger breakfast of eggs, potatoes, turkey bacon, or rarely pancakes that can total 600 calories. On those days, I typically only eat 2 meals.1 -
Between 200 and 300. I usually have a little Greek yogurt with fruit and muesli (the kind with nuts in), plus coffee with milk and sugar. Small portions but it's filling. On weekends we go for a lot of long walks in the hills (today about 15 miles) so usually have eggs or fish sticks or something else with more calories and protein.1

5 calories -700 calories.
Sometimes I'm not hungry at all in the morning so I just have coffee, other times I'm very hungry in the morning so I have a big breakfast. I just wait until I'm hungry to eat my first meal and sometimes that doesn't happen until lunch. Today my breakfast was 421 calories.
Usually, my normal days overall end up somewhere between 1500 and 2000 calories (1450 base calories and the rest is exercise calories), so even a 700 calories breakfast is easily doable, but I prefer a larger lunch most days over a larger breakfast.

I don't eat breakfast. My first meal is around 11 a.m. so it's really lunch. I am hungry all day if I eat any earlier than that. I pre log my evening snack because I like to eat before bed and then split my calorie between two larger meals. 11 a.m. and 6 p.m..
Interesting. I consider anything before noon breakfast. I had my breakfast today at 11.1 -
I usually have between 250 and 300 calories. When I eat oatmeal, that bumps my calorie intake up to 400 calories; but I find it much more filling.0

I'm maintaining at a high weight right now; my breakfasts tend to clock in around 500 calories. When I'm losing my breakfasts are usually between 200-300 calories, when I eat them at all. I'm a night eater so when I'm working on losing weight I tend to save most of my calories for dinner and nighttime snacks.0

200-300. I am not a huge fan of eating breakfast but with the schedule I am currently on, I find eating it is better then not. I used to be able to get up later at my old job so I didn't have as long to wait until lunch. Now I find myself getting hungry sooner.
During the week I have 3 main meals for breakfast:
Greek yogurt and almonds
Breakfast burrito
Loaded hashbrowns (mushrooms, onion, peppers, bacon, and an egg)0 -
My breakfast meals are between 150 - 350 calories depending on whether I'm running that morning or not.1

My calorie goal is around 1200, for breakfast I eat less than 250.
I usually swap between shredded wheat and milk, or porridge made with half milk half water. I find keeping to whole grains in the morning keeps me full until lunchtime.
On the weekends I might treat myself to a smaller portion of sugary cereal, but this doesn't keep me full very long.0 -
450 on average. My typical breakfast is Greek yogurt, frozen fruit of some kind, and protein granola. Plus coffee.1

Why? Food timing is completely irrelevant for weight loss, except insofar as it affects your satiation, or your compliance with a reasonable calorie deficit, and both of those factors are completely personal and individual.1 -
300 - 350 calories. It's a little less than a quarter of my allotment. My breakfasts are all the same, choose 2: oatmeal with 1 t. brown sugar, fruit (berries or mangoes), yogurt, a hard-boiled egg. Plus 16 oz. of coffee with 100 grams of milk. I'd like to ditch the milk but I don't like black coffee and none of the milk substitutes I've tried are as good as real milk. So...the milk stays.0
