    About 300 cals with coffee, fruit, yoghurt and cereal, and then another 150-200 in an apple and something else after I work out.

    Sub-150; Protein shake + 10 grams oats and a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne

    I don't typically eat breakfast. But I do always have a coffee with heavy cream that comes in at around 100 calories. If I do eat breakfast, it'll be a two egg omelet with meat and cheese and will come in around 350 calories.

    300-400 during the week. If I have a big breakfast on the weekend, I usually don't eat lunch.

    I do better all day if I get a solid breakfast with adequate protein. (And it seems to help control my evening cravings/snacking, bizarrely enough.) That said, I go a little lighter before workouts.

    My standard breakfast before on-water rowing is 490 calories. My standard breakfast before spin class is 410 calories (have found I need more carbs for rowing vs. spin). My standard breakfast on days without an AM workout is around 630 calories (can't standardize the pour of blackstrap molasses, so it varies a little ;) ).

    That's on a typical goal of 1850 net, usually 2000-2100-ish gross (I'm in maintenance).

    I crash and burn fast if I don't eat breakfast, especially before any kind of intense workout. Other people differ. ;)

    Right at 200 calories almost always.

    Anywhere from 85 (low cal Greek yogurt & black coffee) to 300 (oatmeal with generous spoonfuls of PB&J and shredded coconut). But usually 200 or a little under.

    i eat steel cut oats, some raspberries (and cinnamon), plus milk for coffee and a few cocoa nibs. regular quick oats don't keep me full long but hte steel cut oats i eat a big portion and "plain" and really have them soak more water than recommended.

    I love how specific this is. My dad is the same way. Same thing every morning, doesn't need anything else, never feels the need to change it up.

    I added the info on what that is ;)
    I am one of those who can eat the same thing daily for years. there are occasional changes (mango or strawberry VS raspberry, once in awhile overnight oats...). But i eat what i like, i like routine and miss it when i skip it ;)

    actually it also includes some almond milk for i use in tea in the afternoon.

    200 cals steel cut oats (i make 1 cup split it in three)
    32 cals 1/2 cups raspberries (and cinnamon)
    45 cals 1/2 cup non fat milk
    8 cals cocoa nibs
    30 cals almond milk

    Between 200 and 350 cals. It all depends what my husband makes for breakfast (he is in charge of that meal :)) . I drink my coffee black with a splenda, so all the calories are for food. I always have breakfast, unless I need to fast for a medical procedure. I don't function well in the morning without it.

    900. By far the largest meal of my day. I tend to eat three or four smaller meals the rest of the day.

    Well, if we're going to be that detailed, my actual breakfast calorie count is 291 plus lots of tea. :)

    150-600. Today I had coffee and a string cheese for breakfast. Tomorrow we are having pancakes, eggs and bacon. It's more consistent during the school year @ around 250 calories.

    During the week a latte - 2 espresso shots with 8 oz steamed whole milk (so around 150 calories) around 7:30. Hit the gym and then eat lunch around noon. During the weekend usually around 300; the latte and 2 eggs or plain yogurt and berries.

    I have 150g oatmeal with 8g chia seeds, 50g egg whites, and a fruit (apple, banana, peach, berries, my current favorite is frozen cherries w some cocao powder) every morning. It's usually between 300 and 400 calories. It's also usually my biggest meal of the day.

    I struggle with breakfast. Always have. I average 0-300. Some days I can't choke down anything. Some days I choke down a protein shake. Some days I can make myself do some protein and veg. It all depends.

    Mine varies a lot. Sometimes just a couple of coffees with creamer. Sometimes a couple of slices of toast with butter, sometimes scrambled eggs and a couple of strips of bacon. Once every two weeks I go all out at IHOP, downing a 1,000 calorie brunch, but then skip lunch.

    400 now, more like 300-350 when losing. Pretty much the same size as lunch or only a bit smaller.

    I eat around 300-350 at breakfast. I used to skip breakfast but now I try to eat it because I workout in the morning and so I eat within 30 minutes of finishing my workout which does help control my hunger so I don’t end up over eating at lunch.
