Coffee and pills
Coffee and meds. Peanut butter toast if I'm feeling naughty
I don't eat. I run on thoughts, prayers, and the power of friendship.
3 cups of coffee. Unless it's 4.
Anxiety and despair
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.
Uh... you're shocked that people eat breakfast? That's so insane to me
Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.
Maybe those who don't eat breakfast or eat nothing fancy don't feel motivated to comment so there could be some bias in the comments.
I love a nice breakfast burrito.
Ooh. What goes in the burrito?
Breakfast
Egg, potato, cheese, chorizo, hatch green chile, wrapped in a large tortilla. If you're not a green chile guy, grab some red chile powder and make some red chile sauce and pour that on everything right before rolling.
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.
Meetings
Nine cans of ravioli.
I don't generally eat breakfast. I honestly don't know how people do it, when I wake up the last thing I want to do is eat.
The scraps of my children's uneaten breakfasts, so:
-
half an egg sandwich
-
the dregs of a bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup, mixed with whatever unsyruped oatmeal I can scrape out of the pot
-
about four apple slices and half a bagel
on days my spouse cooks breakfast. When I cook, everyone eats pancakes.
Usually nothing. When I do have breakfast it's either pancakes and eggs or milk and cereal. Every now and then I get a wild hair and have oatmeal.
Technically nothing, but I do have coffee at the office.
Except on Thursday. That's doughnut day.
“Benefits package”
Uh huh huh huh. You said package.
coffee and weed
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.
What is the psyllium husk for?
It's a fiber supplement, helps stuff move along and kind of fends off hunger until lunch since I'm fasting (except for the protein powder) 18 hours every weekday.
I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!
If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol
The amount of Americans in the comments who don't eat breakfast is shocking
As an American who doesn't eat breakfast, I'm curious why that is shocking to you?
Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:
- Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
- Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
- Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
- Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called “loaded hash browns,” uses hash browns instead of eggs.
- Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
- Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
- Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.
And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.
Usually nothing. Occasionally a few eggs with a little cheese in a microwave omelette.
A big heaping bowl of FASCISM!
No, actually, usually just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes eggs and/or bacon as well on weekends when there's more time.
Coffee, banana, oatmeal, sometimes omelette and bacon.
Today for breakfast I ate chexmix, at around 2pm.
