Breakfast....What do you have ??
Replies
-
Usually just a coffee with a little almond milk
Today I went on a hike that I knew I wouldn't eat on until 2ish so I had a slice of toast1 -
Weekdays I will have black coffee. Weekends usually start with yard work and then between 9 and 10 we will have a family breakfast of eggs and bacon/sausage or pancakes or some such.1

My breakfasts vary a lot, and if i'm not hungry i'll just wait till i am to eat, sometimes that means late breakfast, sometimes that means i just have a bigger lunch.
My favorites right now (not in order) are:
Jimmy Dean Delight breakfast sandwiches - english muffin, eggwhite, turkey sausage, cheese (260 cal) I don't follow instructions on these - i break the bread off and toast it hard, break off the cheese, put the meat and egg in the microwave for 85 seconds, and set the cold cheese back on the hot meat and it melts quickly. I don't like the sandwich all microwaved at once, it's mushy.
Greek Yogurt
Scrambled eggs, with or without toast as the feeling strikes me
2 eggo waffles with strawberry jam
Poptart - this is actually my highest calorie breakfast and least satisfying so i avoid it except on days when i'm just not feeling great and need something super easy. i don't even toast them, i eat them cold.1 -
Breakfast for me needs to involve no prep and be a little of what I fancy.
At the moment, my breakfast of choice is red grapefruit (prepared the night before), chocolate chip brioche and black coffee. (350 calories all in.) Breakfast is typically 30 to 33% of my daily calorie allowance.0 -
I try not to eat until later since that works best for me.
But coffee, oh pour me the coffee!!!!2 -
Today I had 2 slices of wheat toast, one with peanut butter, the other with Nocciolata spread. I had tea and blueberries with it.

I eat breakfast between 9am and 10am, after a 5-10k fasted run. If I run with food in my system I feel nauseous, even if I wait a couple of hours. Very annoying, but means I have a good first- thing rooting.
Breakfast is usually three eggs fried in butter, with spinach, mushrooms and half an avocado. If particularly hungry, I’ll have some cheese with it - mozzarella or Parmesan.
But recently I’ve discovered Keto Hana’s granola - which is delicious. After 5 years on Keto it’s like heaven! Nuts and seeds with butter and a little bit of sweetener. I have 70g with 250g soy yoghurt. Amazing.
Keto here, obviously.1 -
Weekdays is usually one hard boiled egg plus unsweetened soya yoghurt, half a serving of muesli/granola mix (I mix a lot of packets together with a pack of mixed nuts, then figure out how much is one serving), chia seeds, a 4-seed mix and either blueberries or raspberries or strawberries.
At the weekend, I usually have a cooked breakfast including some or all of sausage, bacon, poached or scrambled eggs, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. Once in a blue moon I'll have a slice of wholemeal toast with it.
Very, very occasionally, I'll have a couple of slices of ham or smoked salmon on potato cakes topped with a poached egg or two. Unfortunately, the Rankin potato farls are really high carbs. Tesco's own brand are smaller, so fewer carbs, but then they changed the recipe and I don't particularly like them.1 -
I don't have breakfast everyday but when I do it tends to be at about 10am.
If I am on the go or at work I often take overnight oats or wheatabix and milk with me.
If I am at home I will have 2 poached eggs on one slice of toast, or poached eggs, mushrooms and beans.
I really like having eggs if I have a busy day or if I know I will be having a late lunch or skipping lunch as they keep me feeling full.0 -
I love breakfast food. The past couple weeks I have been eating tofu scramble, and overnight oats. Eggs have been bothering me lately so I don't eat those much nowadays. But before, twice baked sweet potatoes with an egg in the middle is so good. Hash with sausage or bacon is yummy as well.1
-
I eat oatmeal about 5 days a week. It is very filling and I am not too hungry until it is time for lunch. I make 1/2 cup of dry oats and add raisins, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and a bit of sweetener, such as 1 tsp. of white or brown sugar, or honey, or marmalade. When berries are in season and add them too. I also have coffee.
Other days I eat 2 eggs with an English muffin with 1 tsp. of butter, coffee. Which is what I had today.
Sometimes cold cereal with milk, a small banana, and coffee. But I am hungry too soon with that.
Sometimes I make waffles or pancakes.
I always, always, add whatever I have eaten to my MFP diary. I have lost 50 lbs.3 -
Two eggs scrambled for around 154 calories, or two eggs poached on toast (250 calories or so)1
-
Hot tea and an egg over medium. Then, after my morning hike, a bowl of cut-up watermelon. It’s like cold, crunchy, wonderfully-tasting water—really refreshing when hot and sweaty.1
-
Just coffee. I don't get hungry until lunchtime most days.1
-
Always a different meal because I like variety (today was tempeh wrapped in rice paper) but if there's a regular appearance it's a cheesy egg white omelette.0
-
Morning coffee around 5 a.m., then a couple clementines at 8, then I try to hold off until lunch time to eat more. I find that the more I eat for breakfast the more I want continuously all day long.1
-
I switch it up every week, but the basics stay the same. Some sort of carb, some eggs for protein, and some fruit. How that comes together is what changes and I often will add more to it. Very rarely will I do oatmeal or yogurt, though I did do those more often when I was working in the office instead of from home. Now I have a freedom to cook something fresh each morning if I wish.
So for an example today I had:
2 egg sandwich on whole grain toast with avocado, chicken breast, and pepper jack cheese.
Cherries
Chai tea latte, iced1 -
I have 3 things I usually eat.
1. Oats - pour a half cup or so into a bowl and add the milk - when I'm done with coffee they are good to eat (cold is fine by me) and I'll add some cut fruit (banana, mango, strawberries maybe) and a spoonful each or so of flax meal, chia seeds, sunflower seeds or maybe hemp seeds or a nut butter.
2. Yoghurt and the same as above. I have a few bags of frozen fruit also and will microwave some for a minute to take the edge off and add yoghurt and some of the above mix-ins.
3. Once in a while I'll just have toast and spread, or toast and some Morningstar "bacon."0 -
I don't eat breakfast. If I eat anything after I wake up to about 3 hours after, I feel sick to my stomach no matter how light the meal may be.1
-
Generally cereal, sometimes a muffin or cinnamon roll. When I was trying to lose weight, it was usually an omelet.0
-
I had banana chocolate chip muffins using the elavegan recipe. They are delicious and the texture was amazing and fluffy. I might add a bit of protein powder next time too.0

Don't bother or do you bulk up and make it last till dinner or even tea time. High in carbs or protein or mixed. Just want to get some ideas and see if there's something else out there that I've overlooked and never tried before. Thanks.
I have overnight oats with almond milk, apple/banana, yogurt, cinnamon and flax seeds. Approx 225 calories. But...I eat 4 meals a day not 3 so starting off small suits me. My overall daily is 1400 to 1500 not including exercise calories.

I have the same every day. I love it! 100g Skyrr, 15g mixed seeds, 30g basic muesli (no dried fruit), then about 1/2 apple, 1/3 banana, 2 or 3 strawbs, a handful of bluebs, a few grapes, maybe a bit of pear. It's got a good amount of protein in from the skyrr and plenty of fresh fruit. job done and no cooking = win!2

Weetabix with banana and protein milk0
-
My standard breakfast is:
1tbsp each chia, flax and hemp
A little milk to bloom the chia
Let it sit for 10 minutes
Add
30 grams of Dorset muesli — one of the only mueslis I’ve found that has no added sugar
170 grams of Greek yogurt
A Little more milk to mix it all
Let it sit 5 minutes
Enjoy!!!1 -
Whatever. I've never been a big believer in eating certain foods only at certain times ("breakfast" foods, for instance) so whatever strikes my fancy.
Breakfast could be:
Leftovers
Burgers
Steak
Cheapo chicken parm (frozen chicken patty, sauce, cheese, baked)
Eggs + meat
Deviled eggs
Tuna salad
Bagel + cream cheese + ham
Sandwich
Porridge
Cereal
Nothing (I just break my fast sometime in the afternoon or at dinner)
Meal replacement shake
Bulletproof coffee/tea
I think leftover Chinese is my favorite choice when available.0 -
I do not care much for breakfast. I tend to wake up and just drink coffee and then have lunch about 11:30 AM before I go to work. I have been trying to make myself eat only since I started MFP. When I do get up early I go for an English muffin because it has fewer calories than 2 slices of toast. I also try to eat a GF cereal like 1/2 c chex with a bit of oat milk. I have just discovered oat milk and I like it better than almond milk.1

Anything and everything and nothing. I don't eat breakfast when I don't feel like eating breakfast, and I eat it when I feel like eating it. What I eat is different too, sometimes it's oats or some other breakfast food, sometimes it's a random snack (can be anything from candy to raw veggies), and sometimes it's yesterday's leftovers. Today it was eggplant and potato stew in tomato sauce with roasted buckwheat and lemon roasted cauliflower side.

Reduced fat greek yoghurt with fresh berries, walnuts and honey
Or Skyr (Icelandic yoghurt) with a sprinkling of no added sugar granola and frozen berries
In winter homemade porridge with either banana or apple and cinnamon and vanilla essence - no added sugar
Occasionally I crave seed-bread toasted with butter and marmite (salty B-Vitamin spread) or my husband buys reduced fat croissants which are low calorie and taste good but they trigger really bad cravings, as nearly all bread products do in me, so I try to avoid them. And occasionally I'll have a boiled egg with wholewheat 'soldiers' to dip in. But most days it's yoghurt or Skyr with berries.0
