I might be weird, but I often just have leftovers. Or sometimes I'll throw a frozen pizza in the oven, maybe have some salad, whatever.

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

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Coffee, banana, oatmeal, sometimes omelette and bacon.

[-] Stowaway@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago

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

[-] msokiovt@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago

Most of the time, nothing. I tend to drink tea in the morning (usually, an hour after I wake up do I do that). Green tea with a dairy-free creamer is something I love to do a lot, actually.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Americano, and two slices of multi grain toast with butter

I like toast, eggs, and coffee for a work day and whatever Im feeling for a free day (which tends to be toast, eggs, sausage, and coffee lol I usually do wheat toast and i get ground sausage tubes because they're easy to freeze and such)

[-] discosnails@lemmy.wtf 10 points 6 days ago

Black coffee and patience.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 7 points 5 days ago

My usual breakfast is:

  • 3 slices lean breakfast ham
  • 2 eggs over-easy
  • 1/2 avocado, mashed, with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Japanese 7 Spice
  • 300g strawberries
  • Yorkshire gold tea
  • Water

I toss that ham in the frying pan, brown it and put it on the plate, top it with the avocado mash, and then top that with the eggs. Strawbs go on the side.

It's 478 calories and has a decent amount of protein (28g) to start my day, plus 10g fiber, and it gives me good energy for my workout. Plus I never get tired of it!

Not sure if people just don't eat cereal anymore, or they just don't care to admit it. Love me some corn chex in particular. I'll do toast and scrambled eggs and bacon if I'm feeling like taking the time though, sure.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 7 points 5 days ago

I don't eat cereal - too many calories and too much sugar, plus I'll just be hungry again in 45 minutes. I need protein and fat in my breakfast.

Banana pancakes - just an egg and banana mixed together into a batter and fried for a few minutes. I throw on some frozen strawberries usually and its quite good

[-] dandelion 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

it varies

been enjoying granola, some berries, and a coconut yogurt recently

breakfast burritos are popular if I have time

sometimes I just drink 14 grams of ground flax seeds mixed into water and a spoonful of peanutbutter

a lot of times it's just whatever leftovers are in the fridge

on a Sunday I might make a more traditional breakfast (toast with jam, eggs, sausage, and cooked greens)

[-] Jollyllama@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I am shook by the flaxseed chug. I am a fibermaxxer myself and have never resorted to such things.

Bagel with cream cheese is my goto

Edit: 11 hours later, I can confirm: it was my goto

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Coffee and water. Used to have a banana too, but they self destruct my digestion now.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Workout days (3 a week) I eat an egg/feta cheese/spinach scramble with 1 chicken breakfast sausage and about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. I meal prep these and keep them in the freezer.

Any non-workout day it's non-fat Greek yogurt with half an apple, 1/4 cup protein granola, and 2 TBSP of PB Fit powder.

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Normal day:

  • Breakfast cereal (my favorite is corn flakes with sliced banana)
  • Oatmeal
  • Eggs and toast (scrambled or over medium)
  • Leftovers (may or may not bother to reheat)

When I'm feeling fancy:

  • Breakfast burrito
  • Biscuits and gravy
  • Loaded hash browns
  • French toast

Sometimes I'll also just be in a weird mood and make dinner for breakfast, just as I often make breakfast for dinner or lunch.

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

AuDHD has me going in phases.

For a while it was rice with a barely fried egg. Optional soy sauce or msg.

Then it was one slice of bacon and a fried egg.

Then it was half a bagel, cream cheese, and a slice of bacon.

Then Greek yogurt with some PB2. Sometimes with whatever fruit I had around.

Sometimes I go for salami and apple slices. Pepper jack cheese too.

I am now on a kick of these granola+peanut butter bar things either dipped in hot cocoa or hot coffee.

[-] SapienX@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 days ago

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

[-] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago

Three options each with a couple of options, depending on factors:

If short on time or lazy:

  • Cold cereal with milk
  • Granola + yogurt

If motivated:

  • Scrambled eggs with cheese, salsa, breakfast potatoes / toast, hot sauce or spicy chicken mixed in
  • Pancakes with butter + jam

If depression:

  • Nothing and then early lunch
[-] IlmariGanander@lemmy.wtf 8 points 6 days ago

Nothing. If I eat breakfast I'm hungry by 10 and that sucks.

If I don't have a choice about eating breakfast, but I do get to select what to eat, eggs and hashbrowns.

But I also eat those for lunch and dinner because they are yummy.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Most commonly one the following; granola with nuts and dried fruit topped with yogurt, peanut butter and banana sandwich, eggs and toast.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Metamucil, coffee, and either a fried egg on toast or oatmeal with maple syrup. I grew up in BC so I may not be the best sample.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

I grew up in BC so I may not be the best sample.

You're the single best sample of you! I celebrate you!

Well I’m Asian and don’t really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. I’ll have coffee over tea though, so that’s pretty American of me lol

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn't have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Coffee plus one of the following (it changes, depending on my whim and ingredient availability):

  • Homemade egg bites (egg, sausage or meatless sausage, peppers, onion, spinach, cheese)
  • Cereal
  • Greek yogurt mixed with a dollop of jam
  • Breakfast sandwiches (homemade, prepackaged, or from a local restaurant)
  • Biscuits and gravy

I have nothing usually.

On the rare occasions I eat breakfast at home I eat cereal.

On the rare occasions I eat breakfast out I eat sausage gravy or classic bacon and eggs.
