    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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)

        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
