Do you eat breakfast?

ginandtonicsky

I haven't eaten breakfast regularly since I was a child and lived with my folks, which would be a good sixteen years ago now.

I've recently started training my little ass off in the gym and in the interests of better nutrition and not stuffing my face with twenty seven bags of doritos every evening, have realised I'm going to have to join the breakfast brigade.

I do love a late brunch, but my mornings have consisted of black coffee and resentment of the world for a long time now, so I'm looking for breakfast ideas.

What do you eat for breakfast?

DrumSteve

Coffee

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Most days it's Apple juice, cornflakes/Weetabix/Rice Krispies, Toast and marmalade. A few days a week the cereal is replaced by a couple of sausages and rashers.

I would gladly go to work late before I would go without breakfast.

It's not hard to scramble a few eggs/make a bowl of porridge/granola, or chop some fruit and eat with yoghurt.

Weekends I will usually push the boat out and go with some rashers/sausages with eggs and toast.

A good breakfast will stand over you all day.

Eat slow release carbs, first it keeps you 'full' longer and second it keeps you regular

notsoyoungwan

Porridge, made with milk, or else overnight oats with strawberries. Other options are 2 boiled eggs or an omelette with ham, cheese and onion. And then I’ll have a piece of fruit in the car on my way to work.

Noveight

Yep. Quick Oats or whatever they're called.

Often a mixed grill and a few cuts of toast on a Sunday.

Couldn't leave the house without a small bite at least.

Usually have a few boiled eggs but it's been coffee the last week. coconut cappuccinos are life

TheValeyard

Yes

igCorcaigh

Usually not, but if I do it might be toast & hummous. Dislike sweet breakfast.

clintondaly

Some Amberleaf

Yes, I try to have something usually protein like cheese and a few walnuts or maybe yoghurt but some mornings are just crisps!

I have porridge, a black coffee and a bowl of fresh pineapple and melon. All at work. Would probably save loads of money if I ate at home but sure feckit it's about 3 euro.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

Little nip of whiskey.

engiweirdo

Just coffee first thing in the morning, do have a later breakfast though at about 10.30. Only eat lunch the odd time and a light one at that. Lunch is such a meh meal in fairness.

northgirl

I'd get the rage fairly quickly without breakfast.

Temptamperu

usually a banana does me.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

Tea and full fat yogurt. But I don’t think anyone should force themselves to eat breakfast. It doesn’t suit everyone and I know people who eat healthily who forgo breakfast. I believe the ‘always eat breakfast’ diktat isn’t really the gospel it used to be.

OldMrBrennan83

2 fags and 3 coffees. Can't eat before lunchtime unless I've a hangover.

KERSPLAT!

I don't usually eat till about 12.30/1. A few cups of trade does the job until then usually

Rubberchikken

Pot of tea and 3 slices of toast with butter and marmalade. Never varies.

Full fat Greek yogurt with honey. It is food of the gods at that hour of the morning, and no cooking, or washing of bowls required either! Aldi real Greek yogurt is one I recommend. So creamy and filling. So there.

Kolido

A double g&t

Also, I find breakfast stimulates my appetite. I definitely don’t eat less because I eat breakfast.

I have this and throw some fresh fruit and granola in. Very filling but probably way too much sugar. Oh well

FutureGuy

I won’t eat until 11am and finish eating at 7pm. Breakfast is usually eggs or a crazy sized tuna salad.

Iv recently started eating at 1030 break rather than lunch time. I find i seem less prone to mid afternoon slump whenever i do that. Also makes my dinner more enjoyable as im hungry whenever i get home.

Not real greek yogurt though no matter what they say! Compare it to Fage or similar, it’s nothing like them.

Corkgirl18

Always. I get dizzy if I don't eat regularly. During the week I just have cereal and almond milk or a banana if I'm on the run.
At the weekend I might splash out on making pancakes/french toast/chocolate porridge etc.

wakka12

I love breakfast but I dont agree that it fills you up and makes you less prone to over eating a lot throughout the rest of the day. Im just as hungry by lunch and dinner no matter if I had no breakfast average breakfast or a huge one

Weekdays I have orange juice and cereal or porridge and weekends I have french toast or an omelette maybe because i have more time

retro:electro

Wouldn’t have time for much more than a slice of toast most weekdays but on weekends I love a boiled egg on toast, and tea with almond milk. I could spend an hour eating my breakfast if I had the time, refilling tea two or three times. Love it.

OK, I'm just saying what I eat and like and where I buy it. I'm talking about the Real v the Greek "style" yogurt.

Now where would I get Fage please, need to do a comparison test!

When I get into work Mon to Friday I’ll usually have a single slice of brown bread or toast and multiple cups of tea. I eat a big lunch at 1pm (Lunch is prob my favorite meal of the day) and a big dinner in the evening then around 8pm or later.

Weekends I’ve a fry every Saturday and Sunday mid morning (11am or so), usually no lunch and then a big dinner.

So in general I eat two big meals a day really. Once I get out of eating much for breakfast I don’t really miss it and can justfify a bigger lunch.

Amirani

Normally eat breakfast at my desk about 09:30. Hot oats with fruit/nuts in the cold months, cold oats with fruit/nuts in the warm months.

ginandtonicsky

Interesting ideas. Perhaps not as interesting as my bed is though, which is the main obstacle for me in the mornings. I usually don't eat until 1 or 2pm, just no hunger on me in the mornings, though with all the exercise I've been a bit weak in the mornings recently so it needs changing!

Yeah ditto. I just love food, so the more often I open the floodgates the more likely I am to stuff my face and eat up fatter than I should be. I've been in a routine of eating twice a day from lunch onwards the last decade or so.

Tesco used to have the full fat stuff but now they only seem to have the 0% fat crap. I think Dunnes does it too. Real greek yogurt is an acquired taste, it really is quite different from the ‘greek style’ stuff, of which Aldi’s would be one.

I get out of bed and straight out the door no breakfast until I have 3 hours work done.

Absolutely. Eating breakfast has never helped me lose weight.

I just had a look in the fridge, saddo that I am and the pot says Brooklea Authentic Greek yogurt, and it is full fat too. Very sour on the tongue on its own, but great with a bit of honey!

_Godot_

I switch between muesli with almond milk or a banana or two with some light and free yogurt.

Grueller

I get up at 5:45. Eating at that time is difficult so I do about 2 hours work then have coffee and two or three slices of homemade brown bread, real butter and jam.

mad muffin

Coffee, fruit n fibre.

FTA69

Three boiled eggs, five slices of cheese during the week.

If it's the weekend I'll have two sausages, two slices of pudding and a two egg omelette.

Seventeen cups of Barry's Tea.

No breakfast here and I've recently started 'intermittent fasting' which when I first heard of it, I thought it was the most ridiculous thing in the world. After doing some research and a month in, the physical and mental difference it's made is very positive.

I tried that for a week or so..didnt feel anything different other than hunger

Day Lewin

Always eat breakfast! I'm lost without food. Can't get off the ground without my egg on brown bread, or sometimes porridge with yogurt. And a bit of fruit to follow. Pint of milky coffee and I'm ready to rule :-)

Gwynplaine

Sometimes, either 2 boringbix or cornflakes. Porridge in the winter, if I have time.

Foweva Awone

Breakfast is usually meds washed down with a can of Diet Coke.

_Kaiser_

Nothing.. Get up, shower, get dressed and ready, drive for an hour to work , and then will have a latte while I read over emails.

Lunch is usually a sandwich/roll or crap from the vending machine if I'm not that hungry.

Dinner is usually something simple like a frozen pizza, steak and kidney pie, the occasional takeaway, or just 2 bowls of cereal if I can't be bothered waiting.

Weekends I may have cereal when I'm home and maybe a chicken curry or steak for dinner but I'm not a foodie by any stretch.
