Egg, potato, cheese, chorizo, hatch green chile, wrapped in a large tortilla. If you're not a green chile guy, grab some red chile powder and make some red chile sauce and pour that on everything right before rolling.
Honestly, my favorite "doughnuts" aren't doughnuts at all. We get a variety, and I go for the cinnamon rolls, fritters or eclairs before I'd grab an actual doughnut.
Also, most Americans can't spell doughnut, so you're better off ctrl-fing for donut.
I rarely eat breakfast, but if I feel like getting a treat on my morning break at work there's nothing better than a toasted everything bagel with sliced onion, tomato, and cream cheese.... Well, lox could make it better, but I'm not getting a $15 bagel lol
We used to have a sandwich shop at my office that would do lox and veggies on a bagel for maybe $6. They also had an avocado bagel for $4. They were replaced by a Starbucks in a different building on campus and it's not as good and more expensive.
Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:
Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called “loaded hash browns,” uses hash browns instead of eggs.
Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.
And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.
If you wanna try something different but really good, a lot of breakfast places near me have a variant of Eggs Benedict usually called something like Irish Eggs Benedict, which replaces the ham with corn beef hash. Add a side of home fries, and you've got something that'll really stick to your ribs and keep you full and happy for half the day.
Greek yogurt, walnuts, craisins, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, maybe cinnamon, maybe a dash of honey, possibly some frozen fruit if I feel like waiting for it to thaw a bit. Coffee with a dash of oatmilk.
I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.
Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.
I do office work and feel pretty bad if I skip breakfast, even if I pull an early lunch. That's probably because I'm used to breakfast, but I still think it's important enough to take 5 minutes at night to put oats in the fridge.
There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don't have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.
My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I've been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we'll spend together all day, fewer distractions.
Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's breakfast cereal company, you're not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn't give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.
I see breakfast as part of the time when you're getting ready for the day. I am not sure what else to respond to why it's shocking to me, it just is. I am also more likely to skip lunch than breakfast.
Two questions though. One, if it is time, why eat a big lunch rather than a big breakfast? Two, if it is money, why not split lunch into breakfast and lunch?
To answer question 1: Night shifts are quite common in the US (due to the desire of customers to want to visit at any hour), so it's often an easier choice to be productive at night and sleep through the morning. Even if you are a day shift worker, most of your free time will be at night, so you may focus on waking up later and avoiding breakfast to avoid being late (Had to do that plenty of times). Also, if you eat late, you likely will not be hungry in the morning.
To answer question 2: In many restaurants and quick service places (fast food/convenience stores) in the US, bundles are often in favor of buying a large quantity of food once rather than purchasing two separate meals (ubiquity of combos), and you can always save leftovers in a lunchbox for later in the day if needed. This changes when you are at home and have the luxury of time to cook, but during longer commutes (car-centric due to the lack of density in the US), it makes more rational sense to stay on the road and just pick a bundle up at a drive-thru to save time and money (can make two $10 purchases into one $12-15).
My son straight up just has leftovers for breakfast. Spaghetti, soup, roast chicken. Whatever's in there he can heat up he'll have before I even finish my coffee.
Most of the time, nothing. I tend to drink tea in the morning (usually, an hour after I wake up do I do that). Green tea with a dairy-free creamer is something I love to do a lot, actually.
I like toast, eggs, and coffee for a work day and whatever Im feeling for a free day (which tends to be toast, eggs, sausage, and coffee lol I usually do wheat toast and i get ground sausage tubes because they're easy to freeze and such)
I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!
If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol
Not sure if people just don't eat cereal anymore, or they just don't care to admit it. Love me some corn chex in particular. I'll do toast and scrambled eggs and bacon if I'm feeling like taking the time though, sure.
Well I’m Asian and don’t really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. I’ll have coffee over tea though, so that’s pretty American of me lol
You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn't have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.
I have to eat really quick on workdays, so I don't always get anything, but usually cereal, or I'll spread applesauce and cinnamon on homemade bread if I've prepared some the last few days. Or recently pan dulce if I happen to have bought any recently because there's a bakery nearby that ive discovered sells it fresh for quite cheap.
Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.
1/2 avocado, mashed, with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Japanese 7 Spice
300g strawberries
Yorkshire gold tea
Water
I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.
It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!
Banana pancakes - just an egg and banana mixed together into a batter and fried for a few minutes. I throw on some frozen strawberries usually and its quite good
Breakfast sausage and eggs usually and depending on my mood coffee or hot tea. Sometimes I cook potatoes with it usually in the form or hash browns or using left over mash potatoes to make potato cakes. I usually vary sausage and eggs to either an omelette, burrito, if I have peppers on hand or a sandwich when I want cheese with it, else usually sausage patties and eggs over easy or sunny side up. If there's left over rice, egg fried rice with sausage.
Usually coffee. Plunger, at least a pot. Otherwise it's pretty evenly split between vegemite toast, taiwanese green onion pancakes from trader joe's, or maybe a bagel, granola, shakshuka or left over takeout.
I grew up outside the country though, hence not being a fan of us style drip coffee which always taste like hay to me.
Drip coffee is better than percolator* coffee at least, and in my experience far better than keurig as long as you don't let it burn on "keep warm." But these days I use my fancy espresso machine. 😎
*I don't think anyone under the age of 40 has used a coffee percolator.
A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.
Then I eat more of a traditional breakfast around lunch time. I saute a bunch of veggies and a but of sausage (just enough to grease the pan) and then add some eggs, put it in a tortilla for breakfast burritos.
Eggs and Bacon if I'm cooking. Scrapple if I'm feeling extra PA. If I'm not cooking and I grab something quick it's usually a breakfast sandwich from somewhere.
I went quite a few years making oatmeal for myself and my kids every day, usually with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and frozen blueberries.
the kids have stopped enjoying it, though, after all the repetition, so we've started doing breakfast cereal, Raisin Bran and one of the Cheerios permutations that has some oat/nut ingredients, so these days I just have Raisin Bran.
Typically 3 eggs, overnight oats with protein powder, and a mandarin orange. Not a body builder or anything, just a large tall person who eats mostly vegetarian so if I want to eat healthy I have to get protein in where I can.
I love fried eggs on toast. We used to make them by cutting a circle in the toast to crack the egg in, but I think a runny egg over tbe top is probably better for bite balance, just doesn't look as cool.
Coffee on weekdays.
On the weekend when I have time, I'll fry up some eggs.
Breakfast food is my favorite food, mostly, but I never really have time to eat it.
Either an egg over easy with whole wheat toast, overnight steel rolled oats with fruit and walnuts, or a smoothie with no sugar yogurt, walnuts, and fruit
Peanut butter & Jelly sandwich with chia seeds. That's also most of the time lunch. Also dinner a lot. I've been unemployed for months. Dear god someone help me get a job.
Frontend web development primarily in React. I used to make apps in React Native but that was over six years ago. I taught myself Python for Flask and SQL so I could start doing the backend. I have AWS Cloud Practioner and Developer certs. I have been unemployed since May.
Weekdays? Coffee with milk, and either a piece of sourdough toast, or avocado toast, or cold oatmeal if I made some for the week. (I do small breakfast, big lunch, small supper.). Often just the coffee.
Weekends always at least one big late brunch, usually just eat twice those days so eggs, potatoes, refried beans, cheese, onion, tomato, avocado, bacon if we have it.
If I have a weekday off, and there is leftover rice, then rice & kimchi with a fried egg, or maybe savory oats or french toast something fancy or different but that is not usual.
Heinz Beans, Eggs some scrambled (veggies added( and one or two over easy, 2-4 bacon and/or 2-4sausage, toast, if I'm not lazy
If I'm lazy, bacon and or sausage if I remember throw it in the airfyer, omelet (veggies addedg and toast, probably in sandwich form with cheese
And my "breakfast" at 2am is usually what I thinj is called eggy bread? I just dip bread in whisked seasoned eggs and panfry that, pretty peak honestly I could eat that forever.
low calorie keto bread so I feel less bad about toast consumption, and cup of chai. I use ketchup always. Im so hungry but I know I should sleep and have breakfast for breakfast instead of making it rnow
forgot the hash rounds/brown if I remember to airfry them, usually toss that and the meat in early, takes maybe 10-15 minutes to make it if im consistently making breakfast, I skip it lately, its easier for me to not eat if I havent ate yet that day
Coffee, with some kind of yogurt/granola combo. I've been into overnight oats lately. Sometimes I'll make breakfast sandwiches consisting of Canadian bacon, egg and cheese. I try not to have to much sweet stuff to not crash so early in the morning...
On weekdays I don't eat breakfast, but I'll usually make my wife an Eggo waffle with some peanut butter and cinnamon sugar for breakfast as an incentive for her to get up in the morning, since she's not a morning person. Sometimes if I'm feeling motivated I'll make her a real waffle instead. On free weekends she'll make scrambled eggs and I'll make some sort of protein - bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy... whatever we have on hand, then we'll eat together.
Workout days (3 a week) I eat an egg/feta cheese/spinach scramble with 1 chicken breakfast sausage and about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. I meal prep these and keep them in the freezer.
Any non-workout day it's non-fat Greek yogurt with half an apple, 1/4 cup protein granola, and 2 TBSP of PB Fit powder.
Scrapple is one of those regional things that everyone seems to love but my family didn't usually eat. My mom cooked it once and it was like wet cardboard covered in shoe leather. She's a great cook but I wonder if she fucked it up because that made me never want to try scrapple again.
Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.
My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.
It's a fiber supplement, helps stuff move along and kind of fends off hunger until lunch since I'm fasting (except for the protein powder) 18 hours every weekday.
Breakfast sandwich of English muffin or croissant, egg, sausage or bacon, cheese.
eggs, hash browns or potatoes, onion, tomatoes, spinach in skillet. With salsa or hot sauce
healthy cereal with almond or oat milk
Mexican like breakfast tacos or rolled tacos covered in guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, salsa or hot sauce. If i do a breakfast burrito it’s sometimes too big depending on where it’s from so it’ll save some for later.
Plus one mug of coffee. I tend to eat a more solid breakfast than those around me
Coffee, tea. I don't get hungry until I've been up for 3-4 hrs. At 11-noon, I eat my first meal depending on how work sorts out. In the fall / winter I'll fry an egg and a few strips of bacon or a sausage; spring/ summer is a slap-dash salad. My partner and I take turns based on who has free time. Night before leftovers of high veg / protein if I'm in a time crunch.
Cottage cheese, granola, and a little bit of jelly/ jam/ preserves (and coffee of course). Right now I'm using blueberry. It keeps me from being hungry for a few hours, which is good enough for me
Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, it’s usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesn’t surface until almost lunch time.
Peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee, usually. Y'all international types really do need to try crunchy peanut butter. Don't give me no skippy bullshit. It's amazing stuff.
We use peanut butter in some traditional dishes where I'm from. I'm actually surprised I couldn't find any peanut butter with no sugar added here in Europe.
If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.
If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.
My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.
Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I'll have fruit and salami.
During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there's leftover pizza, I'll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.
About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.
They're expensive but I'm lazy. These little cups of premade egg scrambles. It's got potato, cheese, and bacon. Or turkey, egg, and potato. Then I add some chili garlic sauce.
Usually nothing I less I know I'll have a long day. When I do eat breakfast it's usually oatmeal or left over dinner. If I eat breakfast then I skip lunch.
Nothing, usually. Sometimes yogurt with granola and/or fruit. When I was younger I ate cereal a lot. If I'm eating out, I'll get bigger stuff like waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, or a classic plate of stuff (usually eggs, meat, and potatoes).
2-3 Eggs, a Sauage of some kind or bacon on on rare occasion, and a fruit smoothie usually. That's been my thing for the past 15 years or so. If it has to be quick I do oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit.
Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.
On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).
I've been intermittent fasting recently so breakfast isn't till around noon, but it'll either be 3 eggs, turkey bacon and an avocado, overnight oats that I'll prep, or Greek yoghurt with berries chia seeds and nuts, or a blended fruit smoothie with some whey protein depending on what I'm feeling for the day
Two eggs, two sausage links, and a fruit smoothie consting of a banana, apple, orange, grapefruit, and lime, with some kombucha and maybe frozen berries.
My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain "American?" yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.
idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:
nothing, just not hungry that morning
some kind of soup + toast
small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat
ramen w/chicken and veggies
... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.
Depends. If I'm in a "job starts at 7 AM" kind of place, I'll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I've got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I've got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I'll do the pancakes and bacon routine.
For me it varies a lot. First off im not wild about eating until severl hours after I have gotten up. So like when working a job when I commute I want to eat just about when I get to work and I used to pick up stuff a lot. Lately my wife has been scrambled eggs with breakfast sausage or chorizo lately and it can be sorta plain or we pick up guace, salsa, avacado, sour cream. but also just eat it with toast or tortillas or whatever. I can say my perfect breakfast would be biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. It should be noted that most places do not make fresh corned beef hash and use canned. That is god awful and a non starter. Im often afraid to order it as its one of those things that can be horrible but when made well its awesome. This applies to biscuits and gravy to a lesser degree but more places make it from scratch and the canned while not great is not awful. Its kinda hard to make bad french toast and even harder with scrambled eggs but places find ways.
I do a peanut butter vanilla oatmeal fiber meal smoothie in lieu of breakfast. It's tasty and filling and slows my digestion down for the rest of the day. It's a custom recipe mostly.
Coffee and pills
I feel personally attacked.
Same. Sometimes I'll add in a bagel with cream cheese and tomato.
I don't eat. I run on thoughts, prayers, and the power of friendship.
Poor guy starved to death. 😔
I read fried shrimp instead of friendship at first.
I love a nice breakfast burrito.
Ooh. What goes in the burrito?
Breakfast
Egg, potato, cheese, chorizo, hatch green chile, wrapped in a large tortilla. If you're not a green chile guy, grab some red chile powder and make some red chile sauce and pour that on everything right before rolling.
Imagining zote eating a burrito is so funny
Usually potato, egg, cheese, and a protein (e.g. chicken, sausage, beef, beans, etc.)
Leftover burrito bowl and eggs
The scraps of my children's uneaten breakfasts, so:
half an egg sandwich
the dregs of a bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup, mixed with whatever unsyruped oatmeal I can scrape out of the pot
about four apple slices and half a bagel
on days my spouse cooks breakfast. When I cook, everyone eats pancakes.
pancakes with or without maple syrup?
They all eat theirs with maple, mine with butter and black pepper.
Usually nothing. When I do have breakfast it's either pancakes and eggs or milk and cereal. Every now and then I get a wild hair and have oatmeal.
Technically nothing, but I do have coffee at the office.
Except on Thursday. That's doughnut day.
“Benefits package”
Uh huh huh huh. You said package.
Ctrl-F'd for doughnuts.
It sounds bizzare from where I am, but I do have to admit it's not that different from a pastry.
Honestly, my favorite "doughnuts" aren't doughnuts at all. We get a variety, and I go for the cinnamon rolls, fritters or eclairs before I'd grab an actual doughnut.
Also, most Americans can't spell doughnut, so you're better off ctrl-fing for donut.
I did that first. One other mention, but right alongside pastries, maybe because OP knew other places think of them as unsuitable for a full meal.
Nine cans of ravioli.
I call bs. No one wants to admit they ate nine cans of ravioli..
The fourth and fifth, I think I burned with a blowtorch.
I don't generally eat breakfast. I honestly don't know how people do it, when I wake up the last thing I want to do is eat.
We tend to eat breakfast using mouth
You don't buttchug food?! Absolutely barbaric.
Please buttchug is trashy. Real mature adults butt slurp there food
Tips fedora
M'anus
Lol
If you would have breakfast regularly it will probably be the opposite. Eating is all about regularity and habituation.
Coffee and cigarettes
Sounds very french lol
Bien sûr!
Expresso gauloise sans filtre
I find the lack of cheese in the comments very concerning.
Leftovers often feature cheese
I rarely eat cheese now because my LDLs were high. :(
Omelet au fromage
Cheese for breakfast is crazy, unless you're talking cream cheese on a bagel or melted cheese on a breakfast sandwich.
What’s your favorite cheese for breakfast and why is it comté??
Comté (FTFY) - Now you can impress all of your friends with your knowledge of good cheese AND spelling!
That’s how you know I’m French, I don’t know how to spell my own language and no one truly does. Too many homonyms… makes it hard.
Compte, conte, comté, condé, dégonder…
Please marry me.
bagel and cream cheese, with coffee.
I rarely eat breakfast, but if I feel like getting a treat on my morning break at work there's nothing better than a toasted everything bagel with sliced onion, tomato, and cream cheese.... Well, lox could make it better, but I'm not getting a $15 bagel lol
It's sooooo damn goooood...
We used to have a sandwich shop at my office that would do lox and veggies on a bagel for maybe $6. They also had an avocado bagel for $4. They were replaced by a Starbucks in a different building on campus and it's not as good and more expensive.
When job hunting, I will genuinely check to see which office has the best bagel shop in walking distance.
Mmm. I’ve been eating better, but I miss my toasted salt & pepper bagels with butter and cream cheese🤤
Anxiety and despair
Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:
And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.
American Diner breakfasts are not anything like people's daily meals.
Says who? In a typical month I make myself most of the above at least once.
If you wanna try something different but really good, a lot of breakfast places near me have a variant of Eggs Benedict usually called something like Irish Eggs Benedict, which replaces the ham with corn beef hash. Add a side of home fries, and you've got something that'll really stick to your ribs and keep you full and happy for half the day.
Greek yogurt, walnuts, craisins, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, maybe cinnamon, maybe a dash of honey, possibly some frozen fruit if I feel like waiting for it to thaw a bit. Coffee with a dash of oatmilk.
Are you me?!!?? Hello?
3 cups of coffee. Unless it's 4.
I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.
Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.
If you're doing office work, breakfast really isn't that important
I do office work and feel pretty bad if I skip breakfast, even if I pull an early lunch. That's probably because I'm used to breakfast, but I still think it's important enough to take 5 minutes at night to put oats in the fridge.
Maybe those who don't eat breakfast or eat nothing fancy don't feel motivated to comment so there could be some bias in the comments.
Uh... you're shocked that people eat breakfast? That's so insane to me
There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don't have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.
My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I've been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we'll spend together all day, fewer distractions.
The amount of Americans in the comments who don't eat breakfast is shocking
As an American who doesn't eat breakfast, I'm curious why that is shocking to you?
People say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
I've always assumed that was propaganda pushed by big breakfast. /s
Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's breakfast cereal company, you're not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn't give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.
Kellogg was also a religious nutjob.
I see breakfast as part of the time when you're getting ready for the day. I am not sure what else to respond to why it's shocking to me, it just is. I am also more likely to skip lunch than breakfast.
I think a lot of Americans simply are too sleep deprived to either have the time or energy to ingest anything other than caffeine in the morning.
My mom would not approve
Food can be expensive, and sometimes you gotta prioritize your money for something else. (Or just eat a bigger lunch)
Two questions though. One, if it is time, why eat a big lunch rather than a big breakfast? Two, if it is money, why not split lunch into breakfast and lunch?
To answer question 1: Night shifts are quite common in the US (due to the desire of customers to want to visit at any hour), so it's often an easier choice to be productive at night and sleep through the morning. Even if you are a day shift worker, most of your free time will be at night, so you may focus on waking up later and avoiding breakfast to avoid being late (Had to do that plenty of times). Also, if you eat late, you likely will not be hungry in the morning.
To answer question 2: In many restaurants and quick service places (fast food/convenience stores) in the US, bundles are often in favor of buying a large quantity of food once rather than purchasing two separate meals (ubiquity of combos), and you can always save leftovers in a lunchbox for later in the day if needed. This changes when you are at home and have the luxury of time to cook, but during longer commutes (car-centric due to the lack of density in the US), it makes more rational sense to stay on the road and just pick a bundle up at a drive-thru to save time and money (can make two $10 purchases into one $12-15).
Nothing. Last thing on my mind in the morning is food.
Appetite usually kicks in the late afternoon/early evening, when I have my first and usually only meal.
Same. Every now and then around 10 I'll go ape on a proper eggs n bacon or sausage type meal, but 6/7 days I don't eat til like noon -2:00 p
This is me as well. Though occasionally I like 2 hard boiled eggs with hot sauce.
But for every day? Black coffee and that sweet, sweet hydrating H2O.
coffee and weed
Black coffee and patience.
I might be weird, but I often just have leftovers. Or sometimes I'll throw a frozen pizza in the oven, maybe have some salad, whatever.
My son straight up just has leftovers for breakfast. Spaghetti, soup, roast chicken. Whatever's in there he can heat up he'll have before I even finish my coffee.
Used to be Coffee and cigarettes, but now it's just Coffee and shit posting.
Breakfast of champions 💪
Most of the time, nothing. I tend to drink tea in the morning (usually, an hour after I wake up do I do that). Green tea with a dairy-free creamer is something I love to do a lot, actually.
Coffee and meds. Peanut butter toast if I'm feeling naughty
I like toast, eggs, and coffee for a work day and whatever Im feeling for a free day (which tends to be toast, eggs, sausage, and coffee lol I usually do wheat toast and i get ground sausage tubes because they're easy to freeze and such)
I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!
If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol
Yeah, we got chickens just to support my egg addiction. I make a soft scramble pretty much every single morning.
Meetings
Nothing. If I eat breakfast I'm hungry by 10 and that sucks.
If I don't have a choice about eating breakfast, but I do get to select what to eat, eggs and hashbrowns.
But I also eat those for lunch and dinner because they are yummy.
Most commonly one the following; granola with nuts and dried fruit topped with yogurt, peanut butter and banana sandwich, eggs and toast.
Three options each with a couple of options, depending on factors:
If short on time or lazy:
If motivated:
If depression:
Americano, and two slices of multi grain toast with butter
Not sure if people just don't eat cereal anymore, or they just don't care to admit it. Love me some corn chex in particular. I'll do toast and scrambled eggs and bacon if I'm feeling like taking the time though, sure.
I don't eat cereal - too many calories and too much sugar, plus I'll just be hungry again in 45 minutes. I need protein and fat in my breakfast.
I quit buying it, and am raising my son without it. For these reasons. It's not a good breakfast, nearly wholly empty on calories.
If I cook him breakfast, it's usually eggs and turkey sausages. That's the "go to". Most days it's leftover dinner though. He loves that shit at 8am
I don't have breakfast (coffee usually). But like today, I broke my fast with some crackers and hummus at noon.
I think it's because make have realized cereal isn't really healthy.
Cigarette and THC vape normally. I don't feel hungry for the first several hours I'm awake
Well I’m Asian and don’t really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. I’ll have coffee over tea though, so that’s pretty American of me lol
You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn't have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.
I have to eat really quick on workdays, so I don't always get anything, but usually cereal, or I'll spread applesauce and cinnamon on homemade bread if I've prepared some the last few days. Or recently pan dulce if I happen to have bought any recently because there's a bakery nearby that ive discovered sells it fresh for quite cheap.
Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.
My usual breakfast is:
I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.
It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!
A big heaping bowl of FASCISM!
No, actually, usually just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes eggs and/or bacon as well on weekends when there's more time.
My kids and I typically have a bowl of cold milk and cereal, and (separately) a chicken egg cooked in one of several ways.
On the weekends I cook eggs in a different style for each member of the family, bacon or sausage, pancakes or waffles or crepes with jam/maple syrup.
Beer.
x2
Light weight
Nah im obese
AuDHD has me going in phases.
For a while it was rice with a barely fried egg. Optional soy sauce or msg.
Then it was one slice of bacon and a fried egg.
Then it was half a bagel, cream cheese, and a slice of bacon.
Then Greek yogurt with some PB2. Sometimes with whatever fruit I had around.
Sometimes I go for salami and apple slices. Pepper jack cheese too.
I am now on a kick of these granola+peanut butter bar things either dipped in hot cocoa or hot coffee.
Black coffee. Nicotine lozenges.
Banana pancakes - just an egg and banana mixed together into a batter and fried for a few minutes. I throw on some frozen strawberries usually and its quite good
Breakfast sausage and eggs usually and depending on my mood coffee or hot tea. Sometimes I cook potatoes with it usually in the form or hash browns or using left over mash potatoes to make potato cakes. I usually vary sausage and eggs to either an omelette, burrito, if I have peppers on hand or a sandwich when I want cheese with it, else usually sausage patties and eggs over easy or sunny side up. If there's left over rice, egg fried rice with sausage.
Southeast US
Usually coffee. Plunger, at least a pot. Otherwise it's pretty evenly split between vegemite toast, taiwanese green onion pancakes from trader joe's, or maybe a bagel, granola, shakshuka or left over takeout.
I grew up outside the country though, hence not being a fan of us style drip coffee which always taste like hay to me.
shocked_pikachu.pngfor real though drip coffee is just wrong
i couldn't live here without my moka pot
For. Real. I recently remembered that I have one, which doubled my coffee intake so I've been trying to hold back.
haha yeahhhh they do make it easy to "accidentally" have way too much caffeine
sometimes i only half fill the basket with grounds; still comes out strong enough, at least with the very dark roast beans we use
I thought about that, but was worried that it somehow wouldn't 'work' properly. I physics good. Thanks for the tip!
Drip coffee is better than percolator* coffee at least, and in my experience far better than keurig as long as you don't let it burn on "keep warm." But these days I use my fancy espresso machine. 😎
*I don't think anyone under the age of 40 has used a coffee percolator.
I have nothing usually.
On the rare occasions I eat breakfast at home I eat cereal.
On the rare occasions I eat breakfast out I eat sausage gravy or classic bacon and eggs.
I almost never eat breakfast. Maybe a few times per year. I usually don't get up early enough.
Coffee and water. Used to have a banana too, but they self destruct my digestion now.
What's "breakfast", precious?
I make a warm mug of Ovaltine®. But with coffee instead of milk. It's... effective.
Twin Peaks (1990) gives one a good sense of American breakfasts.
Don't forget pie and coffee.
Man, I miss my American, pheep. Hope he's doing fine.
poptarts, coke zero, and pills
Breakfast of champions
Coffee, peanut butter sandwich, and a banana (shout out gwen Stefani)
Nothing, I cant be bothered
Unflavored shredded wheat cereal with frozen berries, toast or vegetarian sausage, and quality tea.
In summer, I'll sometimes swap the tea for a smoothie if it's been hot.
Pot of coffee, a bowl of dried figs, and a few pieces of dark chocolate.
Then I fire a heater at a porcelain target fast enough to launch a small payload into orbit.
Coffee plus one of the following (it changes, depending on my whim and ingredient availability):
Excellent choices
A glass of water. About an hour later a cup of coffee. For lunch I usually have a slice of bread toasted, with butter and jam followed by a cup of coffee.
This pretty much every day.
Cold leftover pizza.
I drink coffee mixed with protein shake.
Then I eat more of a traditional breakfast around lunch time. I saute a bunch of veggies and a but of sausage (just enough to grease the pan) and then add some eggs, put it in a tortilla for breakfast burritos.
Eggs and Bacon if I'm cooking. Scrapple if I'm feeling extra PA. If I'm not cooking and I grab something quick it's usually a breakfast sandwich from somewhere.
I went quite a few years making oatmeal for myself and my kids every day, usually with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and frozen blueberries.
the kids have stopped enjoying it, though, after all the repetition, so we've started doing breakfast cereal, Raisin Bran and one of the Cheerios permutations that has some oat/nut ingredients, so these days I just have Raisin Bran.
Typically 3 eggs, overnight oats with protein powder, and a mandarin orange. Not a body builder or anything, just a
largetall person who eats mostly vegetarian so if I want to eat healthy I have to get protein in where I can.Metamucil, coffee, and either a fried egg on toast or oatmeal with maple syrup. I grew up in BC so I may not be the best sample.
You're the single best sample of you! I celebrate you!
I love fried eggs on toast. We used to make them by cutting a circle in the toast to crack the egg in, but I think a runny egg over tbe top is probably better for bite balance, just doesn't look as cool.
Coffee on weekdays. On the weekend when I have time, I'll fry up some eggs. Breakfast food is my favorite food, mostly, but I never really have time to eat it.
A bowl of Raisin Bran with milk an and 2-3 cups of coffee. On weekends, I do pancakes with bacon and eggs.
Either a large piece of buttered toast or a bowl of yogurt.
Coffee and on sundays it’s coffee……. With croissants
Either an egg over easy with whole wheat toast, overnight steel rolled oats with fruit and walnuts, or a smoothie with no sugar yogurt, walnuts, and fruit
I personally tend to have leftovers from dinner if there are any and if it's leftovers I care about. Otherwise, I'm not a big breakfast fan.
Coffee and oatmeal, coffee and pancakes, coffee and eggs, coffee and cereal, coffee and scone, coffee and waffles, or coffee and breakfast burrito.
Sometimes I'll get a cappuccino with oat milk because I'm lactose Intolerant.
I have a cup of coffee (milk, no sugar) two fried eggs and a piece of buttered toast.
Peanut butter & Jelly sandwich with chia seeds. That's also most of the time lunch. Also dinner a lot. I've been unemployed for months. Dear god someone help me get a job.
What do you do?
Frontend web development primarily in React. I used to make apps in React Native but that was over six years ago. I taught myself Python for Flask and SQL so I could start doing the backend. I have AWS Cloud Practioner and Developer certs. I have been unemployed since May.
This morning, I had bacon, easy-over eggs, stir-fried potatoes, and buttered rye toast.
Depending on how much time I have, either some eggs or a piece of fruit. And a fuckload of coffee
Puffed corn cereal sweetened with corn sugar
Coffee, ground at home, made in a French press. I’ve switched to decaf because I’m taking stimulants now for my certified quirkiness
Edit: I normally don’t eat for breakfast, but lately I’ve been having lightly toasted English muffins with chili crisp cream cheese on top
Water, yogurt and granola, or frozen breakfast sandwich. Sometimes nothing.
Weekdays? Coffee with milk, and either a piece of sourdough toast, or avocado toast, or cold oatmeal if I made some for the week. (I do small breakfast, big lunch, small supper.). Often just the coffee.
Weekends always at least one big late brunch, usually just eat twice those days so eggs, potatoes, refried beans, cheese, onion, tomato, avocado, bacon if we have it.
If I have a weekday off, and there is leftover rice, then rice & kimchi with a fried egg, or maybe savory oats or french toast something fancy or different but that is not usual.
Heinz Beans, Eggs some scrambled (veggies added( and one or two over easy, 2-4 bacon and/or 2-4sausage, toast, if I'm not lazy
If I'm lazy, bacon and or sausage if I remember throw it in the airfyer, omelet (veggies addedg and toast, probably in sandwich form with cheese
And my "breakfast" at 2am is usually what I thinj is called eggy bread? I just dip bread in whisked seasoned eggs and panfry that, pretty peak honestly I could eat that forever.
low calorie keto bread so I feel less bad about toast consumption, and cup of chai. I use ketchup always. Im so hungry but I know I should sleep and have breakfast for breakfast instead of making it rnow
))) -- here are the closing brackets your forgot
I have no idea how that happened lol
Growing up id have fish sticks with the first one, forgot that, I used to be iffy about them, but now I kinda want some
forgot the hash rounds/brown if I remember to airfry them, usually toss that and the meat in early, takes maybe 10-15 minutes to make it if im consistently making breakfast, I skip it lately, its easier for me to not eat if I havent ate yet that day
Coffee, with some kind of yogurt/granola combo. I've been into overnight oats lately. Sometimes I'll make breakfast sandwiches consisting of Canadian bacon, egg and cheese. I try not to have to much sweet stuff to not crash so early in the morning...
Coffee with a bowl of yogurt, banana, Cheerios every weekday
Something with eggs on weekend. I try to be creative. If my kids are here, it might be pancakes or waffles, which technically have eggs
On weekdays I don't eat breakfast, but I'll usually make my wife an Eggo waffle with some peanut butter and cinnamon sugar for breakfast as an incentive for her to get up in the morning, since she's not a morning person. Sometimes if I'm feeling motivated I'll make her a real waffle instead. On free weekends she'll make scrambled eggs and I'll make some sort of protein - bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy... whatever we have on hand, then we'll eat together.
Normal day:
When I'm feeling fancy:
Sometimes I'll also just be in a weird mood and make dinner for breakfast, just as I often make breakfast for dinner or lunch.
Workout days (3 a week) I eat an egg/feta cheese/spinach scramble with 1 chicken breakfast sausage and about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. I meal prep these and keep them in the freezer.
Any non-workout day it's non-fat Greek yogurt with half an apple, 1/4 cup protein granola, and 2 TBSP of PB Fit powder.
it varies
been enjoying granola, some berries, and a coconut yogurt recently
breakfast burritos are popular if I have time
sometimes I just drink 14 grams of ground flax seeds mixed into water and a spoonful of peanutbutter
a lot of times it's just whatever leftovers are in the fridge
on a Sunday I might make a more traditional breakfast (toast with jam, eggs, sausage, and cooked greens)
I am shook by the flaxseed chug. I am a fibermaxxer myself and have never resorted to such things.
for extra fiber I sometimes add a tablespoon of psyllium husk, too
flax tastes pretty good actually, it's not as bad as it sounds (still a texture adjustment, though)
psyllium husk doesn't taste as good as flax seed
Bagel with cream cheese is my goto
Edit: 11 hours later, I can confirm: it was my goto
nothing
This, I don't have time for breakfast almost any day of the week, including weekends.
Scrapple is one of those regional things that everyone seems to love but my family didn't usually eat. My mom cooked it once and it was like wet cardboard covered in shoe leather. She's a great cook but I wonder if she fucked it up because that made me never want to try scrapple again.
Weekdays: 5g psyllium husk, 5g creatine, 30g whey protein, double Turkish coffee, 1 liter of water.
Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.
My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.
What is the psyllium husk for?
It's a fiber supplement, helps stuff move along and kind of fends off hunger until lunch since I'm fasting (except for the protein powder) 18 hours every weekday.
Water.
Maybe a chai latte, yogurt, a piece of fruit, or chocolate oat milk.
Orange juice and some kind of simple food. Right now, it is toast with butter.
A few regulars in the rotation:
Plus one mug of coffee. I tend to eat a more solid breakfast than those around me
What is 'English muffin'? 👀
It consists of nooks and crannies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_muffin
I've been doing cheese and crackers a lot lately. Idk why, but if it's good enough for Romans…
Popcorn is great for when i want light but filling.
Leftovers are a perennial favorite.
Coffee and eggs with chile usually green with a tortilla.
I have 2 scrambled eggs, toast plus elderberry jelly, 2 sausage patties, and either a glass of milk or orange juice.
Coffee, tea. I don't get hungry until I've been up for 3-4 hrs. At 11-noon, I eat my first meal depending on how work sorts out. In the fall / winter I'll fry an egg and a few strips of bacon or a sausage; spring/ summer is a slap-dash salad. My partner and I take turns based on who has free time. Night before leftovers of high veg / protein if I'm in a time crunch.
These days: Chia seed pudding (chia seeds, water, coconut cream) with roasted almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds and unfrozen berries.
If I’m still hungry, two eggs w cheese on toast.
All that with pour over light roast coffee and a big glass of water.
If were to skip a meal it would be lunch
Cottage cheese, granola, and a little bit of jelly/ jam/ preserves (and coffee of course). Right now I'm using blueberry. It keeps me from being hungry for a few hours, which is good enough for me
Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, it’s usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesn’t surface until almost lunch time.
Coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. I eat that pretty much every work day.
Peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee, usually. Y'all international types really do need to try crunchy peanut butter. Don't give me no skippy bullshit. It's amazing stuff.
We use peanut butter in some traditional dishes where I'm from. I'm actually surprised I couldn't find any peanut butter with no sugar added here in Europe.
You should be able to find it, what.
Handmade arepa with a layer of goat cheese and topped with scrambled eggs with sausage.
I usually do not eat for about 4 hours after waking up. If I am hungry immediately after waking, I just want a croissant or some yogurt.
Glass of water and a cup of coffee. I don't usually eat food until 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
Today for breakfast I ate chexmix, at around 2pm.
back in my day it was waffels eggs and coffee but now adays with inflation its a monster
I’ll make a latte and snack on some nuts sometimes. Wife has avocado toast or two eggs
Coffee, banana, oatmeal, sometimes omelette and bacon.
oatmeal or yogurt with coffee
Cerial or just coffee.
If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.
If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.
My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.
Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I'll have fruit and salami.
During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there's leftover pizza, I'll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.
About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.
Croissant and drip coffee with cream.
They're expensive but I'm lazy. These little cups of premade egg scrambles. It's got potato, cheese, and bacon. Or turkey, egg, and potato. Then I add some chili garlic sauce.
If not that, sometimes a protein shake.
Latte at work
Usually nothing I less I know I'll have a long day. When I do eat breakfast it's usually oatmeal or left over dinner. If I eat breakfast then I skip lunch.
Nothing, usually. Sometimes yogurt with granola and/or fruit. When I was younger I ate cereal a lot. If I'm eating out, I'll get bigger stuff like waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, or a classic plate of stuff (usually eggs, meat, and potatoes).
eggs sausig bacon horsemeat potato and coffee
Every day?
every day.
Usually nothing. Occasionally a few eggs with a little cheese in a microwave omelette.
I dont eat breakfast. If I do though, usually cereal like wheaties or frosted mini wheat.
Existential dread
What does it taste like?
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Farina with hot water. And coffee
All in the same bowl?
🤣 two in one, one in another...
But seriously, i bought all my instant coffee for the next four years before the tariffs kicked in.
Coffee and some kind of pastry.
Eggs, sausage and potatoes/rice most of the time.
Yogurt with blueberries and granola on top
Bacon, eggs, and biscuits.
A white Monster. I'm not proud of it.
2-3 Eggs, a Sauage of some kind or bacon on on rare occasion, and a fruit smoothie usually. That's been my thing for the past 15 years or so. If it has to be quick I do oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit.
On work days. Coffee and a banana when i wake up. Some oatmeal a bit later. On non work days, nothing.
Coffee, coffee, toasted English muffin with peanut butter and banana during the week. On weekends eggs n such.
BAGEL
If I have time, espresso + avocado toast with adobo & chili flakes, topped with a fried egg.
Otherwise, just a coffee.
Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.
On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).
I've been intermittent fasting recently so breakfast isn't till around noon, but it'll either be 3 eggs, turkey bacon and an avocado, overnight oats that I'll prep, or Greek yoghurt with berries chia seeds and nuts, or a blended fruit smoothie with some whey protein depending on what I'm feeling for the day
Always coffee. Food options include low-sugar cereal, a banana, toast, fresh dates, cheese.
Varies.
Sometimes if I’m motivated, an egg, pesto, and cheese grilled.
Otherwise, cereal. A banana. Something real simple and easy.
It varries. Pizza if I have left overs. A egg or just dry toast usually
Rice chex, english muffin with peanut butter or butter and jam. Handful of almonds and sunflower kernels. And a banana.
Yogurt and granola. Maybe a banana. 2 cups of coffee.
Two eggs, two sausage links, and a fruit smoothie consting of a banana, apple, orange, grapefruit, and lime, with some kombucha and maybe frozen berries.
Cereal with milk and nuts
I baked some pumpkin muffins with oats this past weekend. I usually eat that with a homemade latte. :)
A smoothie and/or bagel with cream cheese.
On weekends, I usually skip it because I'm asleep. If I do make something, it's for a date, so pancakes/French toast, eggs, and some fruit.
single egg burrito with fried cabbage and onions + coffee
My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain "American?" yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.
idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:
nothing, just not hungry that morning
some kind of soup + toast
small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat
ramen w/chicken and veggies
... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.
Three times a week Ill make overnight Oats. the rest, Yogurt
Typically: Bowl of cereal, milk and glass of OJ. Cereals I rotate through: Honey nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Chex, Mini Wheats
Once a week: I make malted waffles for the family. Usually on Sundays.
Once in a great while: donuts. I love donuts but at my age I need to restrict how many and how often I eat them.
Eggs usually. Big egg bake (9x13 pan of like scrambled eggs and whatever casserole) on a Sunday lasts me all week.
Depends. If I'm in a "job starts at 7 AM" kind of place, I'll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I've got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I've got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I'll do the pancakes and bacon routine.
For me it varies a lot. First off im not wild about eating until severl hours after I have gotten up. So like when working a job when I commute I want to eat just about when I get to work and I used to pick up stuff a lot. Lately my wife has been scrambled eggs with breakfast sausage or chorizo lately and it can be sorta plain or we pick up guace, salsa, avacado, sour cream. but also just eat it with toast or tortillas or whatever. I can say my perfect breakfast would be biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. It should be noted that most places do not make fresh corned beef hash and use canned. That is god awful and a non starter. Im often afraid to order it as its one of those things that can be horrible but when made well its awesome. This applies to biscuits and gravy to a lesser degree but more places make it from scratch and the canned while not great is not awful. Its kinda hard to make bad french toast and even harder with scrambled eggs but places find ways.
I usually skip breakfast, but recently I've been skipping lunch and so I have a protein shake for breakfast so I'm not extra hangry by dinner time.
Pepperidge farm cookies and almond milk or hot cocoa when it's cold.
I do a peanut butter vanilla oatmeal fiber meal smoothie in lieu of breakfast. It's tasty and filling and slows my digestion down for the rest of the day. It's a custom recipe mostly.
Leftovers, soup (typically Korean), or some sort of noodle dish (ramen, yakisoba, pancit, whatever I have around).
Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.
This you?
