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

Water.

Maybe a chai latte, yogurt, a piece of fruit, or chocolate oat milk.

Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, it’s usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesn’t surface until almost lunch time.

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.

If were to skip a meal it would be lunch

Peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee, usually. Y'all international types really do need to try crunchy peanut butter. Don't give me no skippy bullshit. It's amazing stuff.

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.

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

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.

[–] Jeffool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

back in my day it was waffels eggs and coffee but now adays with inflation its a monster

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.

[–] PolarPirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

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.
