Breakfast Calories?

Yes, most of us on here have a set amount of calories that we eat per day, but how much do you usually eat to start your day? I assume it would be a percentage and not a set number, so what would it be if mine is at 1200?

    Personally my norm is between 200-300 calories on a weekday when I just grab some cheerios or yogart and fruit. On a weekend, however, I tend to go all out with breakfast because they say you should eat your carbs in the morning inorder to allow for your body to naturally work it off thoughout the rest of the day!

    Because my cal's are 1840 I aim for 500/meal and then fill my exercise deficit any any left overs with snacking..

    Good luck ;)

    My goal is 2000, I eat 3 meals rather than 6 small meals. I binge less when I get really full at each meal. So I eat about 600 per meal, and I save 200 for a treat at the end of the day

    I eat 3000+ cals every work out day. Most work out days breakfast is around 475 cals but yesterday it was 965 and I was so full I skipped lunch. I couldn't suggest any thing for you because I dont know any thing about you.

    I eat basically the same thing every day: Fiber One, 1/2 cup of milk and fruit. So it's around 210 to 250.

    I either have 1 weetabix with soy milk... and then black coffee. Or I skip breakfast entirely (usually skip it to be honest, in the summer I wake up too late to bother with breakfast, and when uni starts back again i'll have no time as i'll be rushing to get up and go get the bus no doubt!)
    edit: so calories work out at just under 150!

    I usually will eat between 400-600 calories for breakfast. I don't usually eat a big lunch and especially light dinner. My cals are set at 1200, but on average I eat around 1600-1800 due to exercise.

    Personally, I think breakfast should be a hearty sized meal. Eat well for breakfast and lunch and then cut back for dinner. For you, at least 250-300.

    That depends. Define "breakfast." I usually don't eat my first meal until about 1PM, and it's usually about 700 calories. But if you define breakfast as "eating right when you wake up," then I eat 0 calories for breakfast.

    My daily goal is 1400-1900 (depending on workouts that day), but I usually aim for ~300-350 at: 8am, 10/10:30am, noon, 4pm-ish....and the remainder around 6/7pm. :)
