When I eat breakfast I’ll usually have a bowl of oatmeal. It’s super versatile so I don’t really get bored of it. But my favorite is with blueberries and cinnamon

I’m a porridge person and usually have topped with toasted seeds and honey or like to mix in apples/apple sauce and cinnamon.

Interestingly I’ve noticed breakfast stimulates my appetite so I’m hungry leading up to lunch time whereas if I wait until 11/12 to eat then I’m not as hungry. I’m aiming for the same calorie intake but with the bulk of it split over 2 large meals instead of 3

Steel cut oats (lots of water and cooked for a long time), spices, fruit. some cocoa nibs.

but i eat at 7am and have lunch at 1pm so I actully had a mid-morning snack as well. About 100 calories (almonds or beef jerky).

Two slices of toast with peanut butter and jam, and a coffee with milk. It usually keeps me full but I will eat a snack or small meal in between if I am lifting that day.

I rotate from soft boiled eggs, bagel and fruit to overnight oats...

I've been on a smoothie kick (mine are usually about 400 cal, and I make sure to add fat, protein, and lots of veg).

Before my smoothie kick my standby was 2 egg omelet with vegetables (spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, for example, but it would depend on what I had on hand), maybe a little feta, and then half an avocado or some fruit or cottage cheese/greek yogurt or smoked salmon on the side, depending on what I had/what I felt like.

Keeping full from breakfast (about 6:30) to lunch (around noon) isn't really an issue for me, no matter what I eat, as I tend to be really busy and it's not that long. I go from noon to about 9 before dinner and around 5 or 6 I often used to want to eat something, although I find if I'm not in the habit of doing so I'm fine. If I feel hungry in the morning after breakfast I'd just have some coffee.

On weekdays where I hit the gym in the morning I have a latte with 8 oz whole milk and 2 shots of espresso at home around 7:30-8; hit the gym and workout until about 11:15 (cardio and weight training), shower and then go to work and have lunch. I find that this helps cut out about 150-200 calories and I do not eat more at lunch than if I had had a larger breakfast. Some evidence that this helps at https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/well/move/a-possible-weight-loss-strategy-skip-breakfast-before-exercise.html but has been working for me.

On weekends I usually have eggs (2-3) or steel-cut oats soaked overnight in plain yogurt (with the cream top :-) and a little water with fresh berries (raspberries or strawberries), and of course a latte!

2 poached eggs, 1 piece wholemeal toast and 200ml of unsweetened almond milk. 281 calories.
