    It depends on the mood I am in. Sometimes I will make scrambled eggs with some bacon bits and have some toast with it. Today I had half a raisin bagel with cream cheese and a small peach. Sometimes I skip breakfast and do lunch...sometimes the other way around. Its all good. :)

    I was not a breakfast eater on work days prior to MFP as just felt too early to eat, always reached for the digestives at work at 10ish tho.
    weekends it was always a full english,
    NOW I have homemade granola with sliced bananna and bio yougurt or scrambled egg on seeded bread, still have my full english at weekends but grill and poach rather than fry

    no probs eating early now, I'm always starving in the mornings and my mood is SOOO much more stable

    good luck

    I had 2 Eggo Nutrigrain Waffles with a half a tablespoon of Nutella spread across each. I had a cup of coffee with it with 2 tsp of sugar and two tbsp of sugar free vanilla creamer. I never have a very big breakfast because I try to make my dinner the biggest meal of the day. If my dinner isn't satisfying I wind up eating a late night snack.

    2 cups of coffee
    2 tsp sugar (1 tsp in each cup of coffee)
    1/2 cup 1% milk (2 oz in each cup of coffee)
    2 slices wheat toast- Nature's Own- only 50 calories in a full size slice and no high fructose corn syrup
    1 oz neufchatel cheese

    Every couple of days I'll have 2 fried eggs instead of the cream cheese, and put Smart Balance spread on the toast.

    A dietician told my husband that he wasn't hungry in the morning because he was eating too much too late at night. That was true for him, he does do that. He has scaled back the TV time snacking and started eating breakfast. Now he's started taking a protein shake for "lunch" to keep his metabolism moving. Baby steps...

    Good Luck!

    I am glad you posted. i would love to know everyones answers as well. i have been doing this for 5 days and am so lost. breskfast seems to be my biggest mystery.

    i try to always eat one carb, (such as toast or cereal) one protein or dairy, (such as eggs or milk) and some fruit. you should always try to get breakfast because it gives you a metabolism boost. also, if you are used to only eating two meals a day, then go for breakfast and lunch, because most of the fat from those is burned by the time you go to bed, and most of the fat from dinner ends up as stored fat if it isn't burned before you go to sleep. just a tip!

    I was doing instant oatmeal at work for a quick breakfast, but switched to oats that are not sweet or don't have anything extra in them. Usually 1/2 cup of plain oats or 1 cup if I'm really hungry in the morning. I put in berries each time and sometimes have one slice of bread with almond butter on top. I normally do oats though. Breakfast is really important and gets me going each morning. If I'm in a rush, I keep Larabars on hand and throw one in my purse along with a fruit like an apple.

    Today: 1 slice Toast w/ PB, a nectarine and a coconut water
    Usually: 6 oz plain greek yogurt, 1 Tbs Chia Seeds, 1 c. mixed berries, 1 Tbs Honey
    OR: 2 hard cooked eggs, 1/2 cottage cheese, 1 c. diced melon
    OR: 1 slice toast w/ smashed avocado, siracha and two scrambed eggs


    I tend to eat this breakfast around 9:30 and eat a Mini clif bar (about 100 calories) for my 1st breakfast with water and supplements, then when my stomach can stomach it...I eat my real breakfast.

    Meal timing has no impact on metabolism, all other things being equal. Plus, on a deficit, meal/macro timing has no impact on fat loss.

    I have a differing opinion and feel that meal timing does have an impact on metabolism. If you eat right before going to bed, you are not giving yourself time to digest and burn some of those calories off in waking hours. But more importantly, breakfast jump starts your metabolism in the morning.

    After dinner or even a snack at night, you are not conuming anything for the rest of the night and while sleeping. That is give or take eight hours of not fueling up. So the timing of it - and eating breakfast in the morning helps to kick your metabolism back in gear each day.

    Yeah one day here one day there is not going to make much difference but over time it is important and the timing does have an impact. The eating five to six meals small meals today spaced out every three to four hours definitely has an impact on metabolism.
