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.

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.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Normal day:

  • Breakfast cereal (my favorite is corn flakes with sliced banana)
  • Oatmeal
  • Eggs and toast (scrambled or over medium)
  • Leftovers (may or may not bother to reheat)

When I'm feeling fancy:

  • Breakfast burrito
  • Biscuits and gravy
  • Loaded hash browns
  • French toast

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.

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)

[–] Jollyllama@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am shook by the flaxseed chug. I am a fibermaxxer myself and have never resorted to such things.

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

[–] sbf@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Bagel with cream cheese is my goto

Edit: 11 hours later, I can confirm: it was my goto

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Coffee and on sundays it’s coffee……. With croissants

[–] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

This morning, I had bacon, easy-over eggs, stir-fried potatoes, and buttered rye toast.

[–] platypode@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Either a large piece of buttered toast or a bowl of yogurt.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

A bowl of Raisin Bran with milk an and 2-3 cups of coffee. On weekends, I do pancakes with bacon and eggs.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Puffed corn cereal sweetened with corn sugar

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

I have a cup of coffee (milk, no sugar) two fried eggs and a piece of buttered toast.

[–] skooma_king@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Depending on how much time I have, either some eggs or a piece of fruit. And a fuckload of coffee

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] falynns@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Water, yogurt and granola, or frozen breakfast sandwich. Sometimes nothing.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Coffee. And then coffee.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

poptarts, coke zero, and pills

A few regulars in the rotation:

  • 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

A lot of people I know just skip breakfast, but I personally eat whatever food with no regard for social acceptance. Sometimes it's a fruit and grain bar and a protein shake, sometimes eggs and bacon, sometimes it's vegan stir fry noodles with some soy sauce, idgaf

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

I have 2 scrambled eggs, toast plus elderberry jelly, 2 sausage patties, and either a glass of milk or orange juice.

[–] TheTurner@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

It depends on my mood or if I'm in a rush.

A lot of times something like an egg sandwich, grain based cereal, or a peanut bar.

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.
