A white Monster. I'm not proud of it.

This, I don't have time for breakfast almost any day of the week, including weekends.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

2-3 Eggs, a Sauage of some kind or bacon on on rare occasion, and a fruit smoothie usually. That's been my thing for the past 15 years or so. If it has to be quick I do oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit.

[–] Jeffool@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours 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.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Coffee, banana, oatmeal, sometimes omelette and bacon.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 8 points 18 hours ago

Coffee and meds. Peanut butter toast if I'm feeling naughty

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

On work days. Coffee and a banana when i wake up. Some oatmeal a bit later. On non work days, nothing.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 18 hours ago

What's "breakfast", precious?

[–] Stowaway@midwest.social 2 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

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

Otherwise, just a coffee.

[–] oh_@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[–] Sludge@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.

On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).

[–] mmmac@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours 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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Varies.

Sometimes if I’m motivated, an egg, pesto, and cheese grilled.

Otherwise, cereal. A banana. Something real simple and easy.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago

Always coffee. Food options include low-sugar cereal, a banana, toast, fresh dates, cheese.

Nah im obese

[–] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours 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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Cereal with milk and nuts

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Rice chex, english muffin with peanut butter or butter and jam. Handful of almonds and sunflower kernels. And a banana.

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 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.

[–] Serpent@feddit.uk 1 points 3 hours ago

What is the psyllium husk for?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Same. Every now and then around 10 I'll go ape on a proper eggs n bacon or sausage type meal, but 6/7 days I don't eat til like noon -2:00 p

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Damn… a hard boiled egg with hot sauce sounds pretty good for the am.

Thanks for the idea!!

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

3 cups of coffee. Unless it's 4.

[–] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 14 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Uh... you're shocked that people eat breakfast? That's so insane to me

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

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.
