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

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.

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

Coffee, coffee, toasted English muffin with peanut butter and banana during the week. On weekends eggs n such.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

If I have time, espresso + avocado toast with adobo & chili flakes, topped with a fried egg.

Otherwise, just a coffee.

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Cereal with milk and nuts

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yogurt and granola. Maybe a banana. 2 cups of coffee.

[–] mmmac@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It varries. Pizza if I have left overs. A egg or just dry toast usually

[–] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nothing, or very little. Today I had a piece of white bread and cut of cheddar cheese before I went to work. The bread pairs well with Prozac and other anti-depressants.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

I dont eat breakfast. If I do though, usually cereal like wheaties or frosted mini wheat.

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

single egg burrito with fried cabbage and onions + coffee

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Leftovers, soup (typically Korean), or some sort of noodle dish (ramen, yakisoba, pancit, whatever I have around).

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.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pepperidge farm cookies and almond milk or hot cocoa when it's cold.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I baked some pumpkin muffins with oats this past weekend. I usually eat that with a homemade latte. :)

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Brutticus@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Three times a week Ill make overnight Oats. the rest, Yogurt

[–] shadshack@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eggs usually. Big egg bake (9x13 pan of like scrambled eggs and whatever casserole) on a Sunday lasts me all week.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] Fit_Series_573@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eggs, sausage and potatoes/rice most of the time.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Bacon, eggs, and biscuits.
