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.

Coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. I eat that pretty much every work day.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Legge@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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

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

Cerial or just coffee.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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).

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

Glass of water and a cup of coffee. I don't usually eat food until 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

[–] Stowaway@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago

Today for breakfast I ate chexmix, at around 2pm.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Usually nothing. Occasionally a few eggs with a little cheese in a microwave omelette.

oatmeal or yogurt with coffee

[–] PolarPirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Croissant and drip coffee with cream.

[–] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I’ll make a latte and snack on some nuts sometimes. Wife has avocado toast or two eggs
