Breakfast survey!

[Metalhead]

Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis?

Do you often skip breakfast?

Do you consider a cup of black coffee to be a well rounded breakfast?

When I worked in insurance for nearly 20 years, there was no such thing as "breakfast".

 

[TBRS1]

Always coffee, but I also eat.

Breakfast is one of my three favorite daily meals.

A full 1/3 of all the food in the house is breakfast oriented.

 

[Outdated]

Australia's favourite breakfast - a coffee and a smoke.

Unless I'm working or doing a lot of strenuous activity I only eat one meal a day and that's in the evening. I always sleep better on a full stomach. Even when I'm working I don't feel like eating until I've been up and about for at least 4 hours.

Coffee is necessary! I love the shade grown Costa-Rican beans as well as coffee from Sulawesi - only once did I try Kopi Luwak, very spicy and like a dessert coffee!

For food I have a few favorites that I make:
- English muffins with cream cheese, onion, and smoked salmon.
- Hash browns with sausage crumbles and onion mixed in and topped with cheddar.
- Steel cut Oatmeal with brown sugar and half-and-half.
- Corn and sausage bake with onions and green pepper.
- Sunday is treat day; some local bakery sweets and one slice of bacon. or Cheese Blintzes with home made cherry jam and a slice of bacon.
I used to make hash browns from scratch but now use Idaho Spuds freeze-dried hash browns. A serving does not spike my blood sugar. Neither does sourdough English Muffins or the corn and sausage bake. I can count on corn to act like a whole grain.

My spouse, when she can get up before me makes this, I like:
- Oatmeal Pancakes (finely ground Rolled Oats, Banana, a little flour and oil) with butter and a maple syrup aged in used Bourbon barrels.

I sometimes eat right after I wake up. Usually a granola bar, yogurt, or just glass of milk.

I eat breakfast every day. Hunger is what usually wakes me up.

 

[Misery]

Pop-tarts (cinnamon) or donuts. With Mountain Dew.

Pretty much that each day.

l go light, my digestive track is sluggish in the morning. But l make a rotating menu of protein grits, protein pancakes, protein waffles, and an assortment of omelets, easy over eggs, poached eggs, steel cut oats, spam fried rice, protein shakes, avocado toast, and yummy egg /bagel sandwiches, and potato or sweet potato hash for my guy. And occasionally, we have muffins, or croissants, or protein cereal rotating thru. Breakfast is a big deal. Occasionally, l whip up my version of huevos rancheros.

Coffee is for emergencies when sleep must be skipped. I make my own granola, and if is going down slowly, I know I need at least 500 cc of water. I have a friend who often skips breakfast, and now that he is getting old, he often "runs out of gas" when walking.

 

[Crossbreed]

Oatmeal. Sometimes Raisin Bran. Rarely ramen.

Because of sleep irregularities, I sometimes prepare dinner first and breakfast second.

 

[Dagan]

Spam!

Those are some great suggestions. Why, oh why, am I allergic to eggs? It's so unfair!

I ate a toasted English muffin with cheddar cheese and a thin piece of sandwich ham this morning.

Sounds yummy....but I only have a hot drink for "breakfast". Rarely have a full meal in any morning.

I've never considered myself to be a "morning person".

I'm definitely a morning person. That's when I'm the most energetic. I walked about 2 miles this morning, picking up litter as I went. People are pigs here, no insult to pigs intended. I found an old Barq's root beer glass bottle which I threw away.

I simply do not understand the mindset of those who litter with complete abandon. Thought that was a cultural remnant of the mid sixties that died a proper death.

I eat breakfast every day. I mentioned it in another thread, but these days my breakfast is the same every day: Gluten free or sourdough bread with peanut butter and nutritional yeast, apple juice, almond milk, and an apple. (Probably seems weird that I’d have both apple juice and an apple. I probably don’t need the juice, but with my stomach problems, I tend to have whatever I can tolerate.) On weekends, I also add a bowl of cereal with oat milk.

In the past if I haven’t had time for breakfast, I’d have a glass of juice or milk (regular milk before I became a vegan, and plant milk after). But I’ve never gone a morning without food.

I’ve always eaten breakfast foods for other meals and snacks as well. Unfortunately, it’s drawn some odd looks and comments from other people. But I know I’m not the only one who does.
