Breakfast

siraxeman

What typically do you have ? do you bother? A lot of folks don't (don't ya get hungry?) If I don't eat within a few hours of getting up my stomach protests greatly.

Said to be the most important meal of the day....I never miss brekky! Always a cereal man - porridge with a bit of granola thrown in and a scoop of protein powder (I weight train so it bumps my protein intake up). Sometimes i'll do Weetabix - 5 of 'em in a bowl with milk and honey/sweetener...don't use sugar these days. 2 Weetabix ? who can be satisfied off that? Same with shredded wheat...ya need 4 at least..expecially since they've shrunk in the last couple of years.

cooked brekky ? bacon, eggs, sausage, beans n toast ? Occasionally - usually when on hols and some other buggers cooking it for us.

What do have or do you even bother ?

I never missed breakfast... till about a year ago.  And the world didn't end when I stopped having it.
Either: 
museli and bran
omelette
or fruit, lots of fruit.

Now, fresh coffee and cream

Most days of the week- toast.

sundays- fried leftovers from what I cooked Saturday night.  Quite often bubble and squeak but this mornings was a pig hash made with left over pulled pork, chorizo and sausage.  Fried with leftover potatoes, doused with chilli sauce and topped with a fried egg

I never eat breakfast. I need the calorific headroom.

I'm coeliac so most cereal is out, so I'm on 2 scrambled eggs with eggs or fish most days.  Gluten free cereal on days I fancy a change.

Does this mean you're fat ? ;-)

Porridge with a sprinkling of sugar, cinnamon or some honey and brown toast with peanut butter most days. Given the internal mess that is my stomach I need to line it with prescribed meds as well as start off with a decent meal. As a treat I pop into the local cafe for a full greasy fry up.

I'd like to ditch breakfast, I really don't need it and it's extra calories. I go running at 7.00am - 7.30, gym 7.30 - 8.00 then swim 8.00 - 8.30. Despite all that I'm never actually hungry, I just like eating.

Brekkie is porridge or marmalade sandwiches Mon, Tue, Thu. Bacon sarnie Wed, Fried eggs and sausages Fri, Cheese on toast Sat and freid eggs plus toast Sun. Hmmnnn ... now I've written it down it doesn't sound that healthy!

Maybe if you tried to ditch it you'd find that your stomach would (like mine) protest strongly. Your body might not feel hungry at the time you've done your fitness routine and come to eat but if you stopped maybe an hour or two after the usually expected meal time you'd find you do actually 'need' it. Hunger is usually just a symptom of low blood sugar and if your body is routinely expecting it at a certain time that time might need to elapse before hunger kicks in proper.

Of course none of us really 'need' it....we can skip a meal or 2 no problem and we wont die lol..but maybe skip more than that and we'll start to feel weaker and drained.

On an odd sidenote - I've been watching lots of Marooned with Ed Stafford on Discovery and Naked And Afraid also - and these guys can go days without anything or very very little. Now that is survival and will power for ya. Not like them 'celebs' on I'm a Celebrity complaining with having to live off their rice n beans after a failed bushtucker trial lol.

I'm usually Hank Marvin when I wake up so I can't skip breakfast. Used to love cereals when I was younger but became lactose intolerant so it's been toast and coffee since.

I can't imagine living a life that regimented.

I tend to have coffee and a pastry of some kind when at work. Sometimes bacon/eggs/sausage in some combination, sometimes cereal, whatever I fancy at the time.

RandallFlagg

Mug of tea & toast or a couple of buttered crumpets at the weekend, just a big mug of tea mid-week

dafuzz

Bacon and scrambled eggs if I'm at home.

For work I'll pack mixed berries and Greek yoghurt with chia seeds sprinkled on. I pack it the night before cos I wake up late and am usually not hungry till about 10

MtB

A banana and a crunchie bar on week days. Cereal (summer) or porridge + honey (winter). Cafetiere coffee with both. 

bluechargeboy

Up at 06:45 but I don't have anything until 10-ish, and that would be Greek yoghurt. If I am too busy to have it, no probs. I am often hungry when I awake but it goes away with careful administration of tea. Mmm, tea.

Well this morning I had two slices of red velvet cake and about a pint of coke.  I'll be frank, it's not my usual Sunday morning feed but here we are.  

I have got sooo much food left after last night's party that I maybe eating pizza and fried chicken for the foreseeable future.

This thread is making me hungry.

It varies, depending on what I'm doing...

Weekdays I usually have a slice of toast or a power bar thingy. If I go to work early the canteen do a self assembly bacon sandwich for £1.50 or sausage for £2.00. 

If I'm working away I'll have the hotel cold selection, usually fruit and yoghurt with a healthy fry up (oxymoron) of beans, tomato, mushroom, scrambled egg and either bacon or hash brown. If there;s a veggy option I have that or sometimes salmon and scrambled egg. I often skip dinner when working away so a big brekkie is a good idea. 

weekend I have toast with tomato or scrambled egg or sometimes a fried egg in olive oil. I sometimes have that ranchos heuvos Spanish tortilla thing with avocado.

That pig hash sounds blummen fantastic!

No, it means most of my calories are in the form of alcohol.

And yes I'm ... well.. starting to fatten up.

Nitefly

Mug of tea, glass of V8 juice, and a hay-fever tablet.  I don't enjoy food in the morning, but I'm ready to eat by lunch-time.

Plus I'm a lazy bastard.

I like to trigger Article 50 every morning:
