Breakfast....What do you have ??

I go for simple and convenient so most of the time it's two slices of toast (multigrain, whole wheat, white, whatever we have) with peanut butter and jam and a black coffee or espresso. Sometimes I have eggs with it. Sometimes I have pancakes with peanut butter, syrup and fruit instead.

As mentioned you don't have to eat first thing if you'd rather save calories for later in the day. Do what works for you.

During weekdays, I’ll often have a homemade trail mix that includes almonds, roasted edamame, and other mix ins like granola. The edamame gives it more protein than a trail mix you’d buy in the store.

Weekends, I love being more flexible. Leftovers with fried eggs on top, omelettes with caramelized onions and whatever cheese/protein/veggies are handy and delicious. Sometimes we’ll plan a big waffle brunch (last time we did cheddar and bacon in the batter, yum!)

Rejueven-eat! Depending on what I did the day before it's great carbs, calorie deficient protein to fast a bit or a protein load.

1 Oatmeal w banana and a scoop of protein powder
2 2- hard boiled eggs
3 Big bowl of Greek Plain yogurt with fruit

I've tried IF and not eating breakfast, but found out that I feel much better throughout the day if I eat something after my AM workout. So that's what I do. It's typically leftovers from a previous day, as I don't really like having to prepare anything in the morning.

If I don't have leftovers, I'll have something like overnight oats or a protein shake. Sometimes I'll make a big batch of granola and have that for a couple of weeks as well.

I am not a big morning eater but do need something so I do cold coffee with protein powder in it as a breakfast- holds me from 6 am until 1 pm or so for lunch usually

If I work out in the morning I like to eat after that. If I work out later in the day I often skip breakfast.

When I eat breakfast, I often skip lunch.

When I do have breakfast, I like to have some veg with it, and my usual go-tos are a 2-egg and veg omelet (I will often have either cottage cheese or fruit on the side) or else a smoothie (mine tend to have more veg than fruit and I include some source of fat (half an avocado or nuts or seeds) and usually greek yogurt or tofu for protein). The smoothie is often what I want when it's hot like it's been.

For a while I was on an oats kick and would usually make those in a rice cooker when I was out running and have them when I got back.

Very little if anything. I wake up around 6am and don't feel hungry until around 10, so I usually just wait til lunch. On the days I do decide on breakfast, it's something light- cottage cheese with blueberries, or a yogurt.

I mix it up. I used to just have coffees with almond milk all morning, but I have a med I need to eat with in the morning now, so I have a lighter meal now. I am still losing weight though because I snack less now with it, like many.

This week I made crepes and a cherry filling of morello cherries in juice, vanilla, stevia, and thickener. Had 2 of those this morning with an almond milk iced coffee.

Tomorrow I have some Trader Joe's riced cauliflower fried "rice" I want to use up with a fried egg I think (and iced coffee, I always have one for calcium, Vit. E, and Vit. D).

I picked up a box of protein pancake mix, which I eat a half portion of with sugar free syrup and a side of either fresh sliced strawberries or sliced nectarine.

Sometimes I make a frittata for breakfast.

Yogurt topped with fruit

Smoothies

1 slice light wheat toast with 1 tablespoon nut butter and 1/2 sliced banana

avocado toast (light wheat with 1/4 avocado)

egg salad with tomato slices (I use light mayo)

I like a good seeded bread, toasted, with guacamole on it. Two slices of Dave's Killer seeded bread with a 100-calories container of Sabra guacamole is a tasty/healthy breakfast. Guacamole singles, though not the cheapest way to buy it, is an easy way to get a serving of avocado without worrying about it turning brown.

We tend to do a cycle of breakfasts: oatmeal with peanut butter & honey, brown rice farina with smoked cheese, eggs with cheddar & cream, seeded bread toast with guacamole or peanut butter and British marmelade, and frozen egg/cheese/sausage on croissants frozen breakfast sandwiches.

Breakfast: Brisket, Uncle Ben's converted rice, homemade salsa and roasted vegetables

A banana as I'm walking out the door to the gym at 4:30 Am, then either a protein shake/smoothie or a couple of eggs when I get home. If it is a non-gym day typically nothing.

For twenty months I have mostly had the same smoothie. Suddenly, it didn’t hold me anymore and I was getting nibbly Before lunch and in the afternoon. I have also been feeling rundown and workouts have been “flat”.

I bumped up my protein a lot and feel way better now.

I’m learning to like eggs. Never ate one in my life til ten days ago but I was scrambling one to tempt the rescue dog to eat and thought, it doesn’t smell that bad. Maybe it’s time to give up childhood prejudices.

The first time I logged one in, my protein went through the roof. I am sold.

So my beginning egg-eater’s breakfast has been an egg, 3 servings of egg beaters, lightly fried prosciutto, Swiss cheese slice, and basil from the window box. And I no longer feel like I have to hold my nose to eat an egg.

But sunny side up and boiled? No thanks.
