4AM here I don't eat until 6--cereal before I head for work.

Coffee! Cereal! Maybe a piece of cheese.

I had neighbors over for a patio sit yesterday and served scones I made: choc chip and orange. I'll have one for breakfast today with a scrambled egg.

I alternate egg (fried, scrambled, etc) and toast with cheese on it with steel cut oats and yogurt.

This week it’s toast and poached egg. Always coffee. Hubs is known for his breakfast making. He makes waffles from scratch, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, makes the best coffee in the world. He doesn’t gain an ounce eating his waffle, makes them very healthy. On the other hand , if I ate, my 100 pound weight would probably balloon. Girls in our 80’s have to maintain our “youthful” figure. Funny how I can weight same as I did 67 years ago and it seems to have moved around.

Coffee.

Toast.

More coffee.

Start working.

More coffee.

Coffee now. French toast later.

I'm still medicating with caffeine right now. Not sure what I'll have for breakfast. I may make a ham and cheese omelette or just have eggs over easy and a fried slice of ham with maple syrup.

The ham is left over from small ham I bought to make ham and beans last weekend which I am thawing out for lunch.

Kashi cinnamon crunch cereal with a sliced banana and whole milk. Might nap a bit before coffee. Didn't eat supper last night, woke up hungry at 0400 but need more sleep...

Too early for breakfast for me. Have had my "open eyes" cup of coffee and

have my bed stripped. Not sure what I will have to eat...in a half hour or so.

Not up yet, but my usual: half an English muffin, buttered. I top it with cheese, or peanut butter and jam, or peanut butter and sliced banana. Coffee. Or, maybe Cheerios (I like to mix the regular and multi-grain, which adds just a bit of sweetness), and sliced banana on top.

Ooh, later I'll have half a donut. DS dropped off the most amazingly fresh apple cider donuts from the farmer's market. After I eat that half, I'll promptly eat the other half!

My go to for the past year or so has been 1/2 cup cottage cheese and a cut up apple sprinkled with cinnamon. Sometimes I toss a few praline pecans.

Today I sliced a banana instead of the apple. I sometimes substitute blueberries.

I do plan on rotating in French toast and I bought the ingredients for an Egg McMuffin.

Bpath, haha I am the same. I have absolutely no will power and think that by pecking away slowly the calories won’t add up.

I don’t know how people can face eggs in the morning. They have always turned my stomach although I have them for dinner quite often.

I have cereal ( Barbara’s Morning Oat Crunch) with fresh blueberries almost every morning. Once in awhile I substitute oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins.

I recently discovered some coffee that I like a lot. It’s Allegro Organic Dark Roast. I buy it at Whole Foods. expensive but coffee is one of my great pleasures.

The usual. A bowl of steel cut oats with milk and brown sugar.

Breakfast is usually my biggest meal. I very seldom eat in the evening. Usually I eat a lot of eggs during the week. I am curious Floral_UK how do you make your porridge? Is it like oatmeal which I do love.

I eat the same thing every morning... 3 pieces of toast with grape jelly and a cup of coffee, followed by all of my vitamins.

I got lazy and nuked a frozen breakfast burrito that I made a bunch of a few weeks ago. Added a little Annie's Salsa on top. Yum!

Like Marilyn Sue, breakfast tends to be my biggest meal of the day as well. But I never eat it when I first get up........that time is reserved for my coffee infusion :-) Breakfast will be several hours later, more of a mid-morning or brunch time meal. And while it is most often typical breakfast time foods, it could also be leftovers. Or a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich.

I rarely have lunch unless going out with friends....and not much of that happening lately! If I have lunchtime plans, I skip breakfast. Otherwise, I will just have a piece of fruit or a hunk of cheese if I get hungry midafternoon. Dinner, if I fix it at all, is usually very light - a bowl of soup, maybe popcorn, sometimes a sandwich or take out. Or what others consider appetizers :-) I might cook a real dinner meal maybe once every week or 10 days.

This morning I had a slice of chocolate date nut bread with cream cheese and a cup of Luzianne tea. I have something different for breakfast every day and sometimes skip breakfast.

Cheerios with blueberries, bananas, walnuts and chia seeds. Coffee.

My porridge is 1 teacup rolled oats and two teacups water. Boiled or microwaved for a few minutes. I serve it with a splash of cold milk. No sugar. No salt. Some people make it with half milk, half water or all milk. Imo instant porridge is an abomination and loaded with sugar. I used not to eat any breakfast but started on the oats as a cholesterol control strategy.

I've only been up an hour so I haven't eaten yet. But breakfast is pretty lax here, not a meal. DH will have a banana and coffee, maybe a slice of plain pound cake or toast. I'll have Ovaltine, piece of toast. Lunch is pretty casual too - dinner is our bigger meal of the day. I have a Costco half ham that I'm going to put on later.

This morning, it was a toss-up between oatmeal with chopped apple and nutmeg or toad in a hole (bread, egg and cheese). I decided on the egg dish because I'll be eating light for lunch (tuna salad, crackers). LOL, Eld! I don't have any willpower either, especially if there's ice cream in the house!

I can't eat first thing in the morning. I got up and took my dd to school, came back and picked up all of the trimmings from the bushes that I had cut in the last couple of days. Dh saw me and came out to help. Then he wanted breakfast so he made us sausage and eggs. I suggested baked potato and salad for supper tonight so most of the meals for today are figured out. Not sure what I'm having for lunch... maybe lentils that I get from Costco. They only take a minute to heat up and are filling.

Start with coffee and eat at about 9 a.m. This morning I had eggs, cottage cheese and salsa. Usually it is spinach rather than cottage cheese but I am out of spinach this morning. Not sure what I will have for lunch, but will be making vegetable soup for dinner, will serve along with a jalapeño cheese bread I buy from a local baker.

The same as lindaohnowga, except with strawberry jam and tea.

Woke up at about 1240. Had a delivery coming from Wal-mart or so I thought...turns out I made it a pick up instead. So, brushed my teeth, washed my face and drove over there. Hard to find the pick up point. It said it was to the right of the building if you were facing it, but that was pick up for Black Friday deals. I asked one of the guys helping another customer as he was walking away from them and he pointed me to the right area, which was by the liquor store, way over on the left side of the building.

Anyway, came home and made a BLT with some of the last of my cherry tomatoes from the garden. Wish I hadn't stayed up so late last night as it's a beautiful day and I want to work outside in the garden. I have to work tonight so that's not going to happen. I have tomorrow off but it's forecasted to rain, of course...

Love eggs any time of day. I generally get up too late eat breakfast as normal people do. It's 1:27pm and I am just fixing a cup of coffee.

Breakfast was what Sunday breakfasts usually are for us today. Of course we had it as brunch. DH needed him time day so that's why he's home.

We had omelets stuffed with fried leeks asparagus broccoli salsa and cheese. I put some pretty weird stuff in my omelettes. For our side we had pan fried smashed sweet potatoes. They didn't come out quite as brown as I like.

We also had strawberries on toast. We just kind of mash the strawberries into the toast for our strawberry jam.

I had cinnamon milk. DH had Earl Gray tea with milk.

Homemade egg mcmuffin today.

Thank you Floral_UK. I guess I have been eating porridge all along and didn't know it!

Sausage patty, a frozen waffle with real maple syrup and orange juice.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a myth.

I never eat breakfast, just a cup of coffee.

I eat a big meal just before bed time, (after dinner). This gives me more time to prepare for work not having to make breakfast, and more energy for work the next day the whole day.

Homemade toast with homemade marmalade. Interesting how my bread takes double the time to toast vs commercial bread. My guess is commercial bread has a lot of sugar in it.

During the height of the summer, my garden pumped out a LOT of zucchini. I made a zillion different variations of zucchini bread and froze them. This week it's zucchini carrot cake.

I do the same if I have to be doing something in the morning and expect a longer day. I tend to be more of a grazer anyway. I also count calories and getting a balanced diet by weekly average not by the day. Our bodies don't care whether we ate this or that by the clock.

A big meal before bedtime can really help you to grow, sideways I mean. :-) I am trying to lose at least 10lbs, so only have fruits for breakfast.

I get up later and an hour later have a brunch which is always the same. Organic grained bread with mozzarella cheese on both sides, a hard-boiled eggs sliced and a sliced avocado grilled for 2 and 1/2 minutes on the panini grill and a bowl of blueberries, blackberries , raspberries and watermelon (sometimes a banana too. )

But according to physiology, your digestion system does not start to absorb until much later, 10 to 12 hours later after eating.

We all have different bodies. My eating habit has allow my weight to remain very constant my entire life without dieting.

I haven't eaten a grapefruit in........a very long time! Do you put sugar on it?

I had an avocado with salsa.

I baked up some mashed potato balls- lots of green onions in them. Sliced tomato on the side.

I'm eating a 3 egg omelette with cubed ham and pepperjack cheese. Yum!

DH made himself sausage and eggs. I had one of his sausage patties and an Eggo waffle with butter and maple syrup - a cup of Scottish breakfast tea.

a cup of Scottish breakfast tea

Does that mean you put a shot of Scotch in your morning cup of tea? ;-p

I used to never eat breakfast, and when home, Jody had coffee with his friends. Now I cook breakfast every day. Today he had scrambled eggs and bacon and I had a BLT on toast. Yesterday it was steak and eggs for him....steak for me. The day before that pancakes and bacon. I don't eat eggs.

Actually, I feel better when I only eat a bite of something to take my vitamins and eat lunch about 11, but the schedule has changed.

LoneJack - ugh! I hate scotch!! Milk and sugar only. It is a very strong, caffeinated black tea. I'm not much of a coffee drinker.

On weekdays, I am up early for work. Often I don’t eat breakfast. When I do, it is either dinner leftovers, or a croissant from the coffee shop near my office.

I know that sounds awful, but I’ve gotten much better. For half my working life, I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch, just dinner. One meal a day. At least I stopped doing that.

What is more important to me is coffee. I have an espresso shot at home, then a large black coffee at the coffee shop. Every day. I also have a coffee maker in the office, but I like saying hi to the coffee shop people.

On weekends, my favorite thing to make for breakfast is roesti. Next favorite is omelettes. SWMBO likes to make bacon & scrambled eggs. So, nothing exotic. Your basic “comfort breakfast”.

I do like some more interesting breakfasts too. Congee is really fun if you have varied toppings. When traveling in the UK, I got to like stewed tomatoes. We found roesti in Switzerland, though it’s not so much of a breakfast food there.
