To think Sunday breakfast is the best?

DH and I make it a point of having a fancy breakfast every Sunday.

We don’t eat breakfast the other 6 days so when we get back from the gym on Sunday morning we have a feast 😁

Today we’re having eggs with Dillon keto bread. Greek yoghurt with berries and keto granola sprinkled over. DH will have coffee and I’ll have Rooibos.

Its the best day for a lavish breakfast and we won’t need to eat until dinner tonight!

I love a cooked Sunday brekkie
Sausages, bacon, fried egg, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns and toast.
Food of the gods

Only on MN would there be such a number of mean-spirited arseholes ready to rip someone to shreds for being happy... Absolutely embarrassing.
OP, I'm on a massive weight loss journey too, and now find real pleasure out of simple, nourishing food. It makes my soul happy that I no longer feel the need to ram as much fatty shit as possible down my trap to feel "happy" so I'm with you!

Absolutely. Some proper twats on here sometimes.

I prefer a bacon buttie with my Sunday cup of smug, but whatever

I had a potato waffle with an egg on. Might eat a satsuma now for the healthy bit.
Probably won't need to eat now till Tuesday.

Potato waffle with egg. Heaven. I want it!

Perfectly put.

Op, you enjoy your lovely weekend breakfasts. They sound delightful and it's the simple pleasures like this that make life more bearable.

Seriously, posts like this cause eating disorders. My daughter is seriously ill with an eating disorder and it’s because of crap like this. You don’t eat breakfast on 6 days - why did you need to mention that? Because people take some strange pride in disordered eating. Also you won’t eat until tonight because you had some yoghurt and a slice of keto bread? Unless you are really struggling with your weight or extremely inactive that’s just ridiculous.

Please can people stop thinking that showing off about starving yourselves deserves a trophy.

You could have made this post about your breakfast without all the comments about missing meals. Maybe they indicate that you have a poor relationship with food?

I think your daughters illness is making you extra sensitive. I'm 22 stone and eating a nice brekkie at the weekend means I don't eat til tea (some call it dinner) time. I also know other overweight people who don't eat breakfast.

To get back to the original question “is Sunday breakfast the best?” Considering you only eat one breakfast a week, and it’s on Sundays, it’s an odd question. It’s the only breakfast you know so it’s both the best and the worst,

It’s the usual competitive under-eating on here. It makes them feel good about themselves to tell everyone how little they eat and how “healthy” the little that they do eat. This one gave herself bonus points for her keto references.

And you’re right, it’s dangerous to have such a poor relationship with food. That you have to congratulate yourself for under-eating. Everyone is quick to lambast a poster who, in their opinion, over eats or who dares to mention they had a Big Mac. But all the “huns” congratulate each other and put each other on pedestals for eating a “lavish” slice of bread and an egg. You couldn’t even make it up.

“It’s the best way to start the day” but only does it once a week.

And it's not starting the day if they've already been to the gym

Laiste · 24/08/2025 17:17

If this had been posted on one of the diet support threads it would have gone down better.

Its just odd to start a thread drawing folks in to chat about about your glorious Sunday breakfast only to describe your keto lettuce leaf feast after going to the gym, and now you wont eat till next Tuesday type stuff.

Bit jarring and weird that's all.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 24/08/2025 15:18

Someone saying they don’t usually eat breakfast does not cause someone else to have an eating disorder. The amount of projection on this thread is insane.

Fasting until lunchtime is perfectly normal for lots of people and has been since the dawn of time. It doesn’t even need to be called fasting.

@FedUpToTheBackTooth

Wow. I am really sorry for your daughter's struggles. I have been in treatment for ED before so I need to say that I think that you are really projecting your frustration at your situation onto a random stranger.

There was no glorification of skipping meals or suggestions that starving oneself is a good idea.

I am really sorry for your daughter's situation but as a sufferer myself, I can assure you that posts like this are not the cause of her illness.

I am sorry for what you and your family are going through. I hope your daughter is well soon.

It might be best if you scroll past food-related posts in the future; for your own well being. This was very lighthearted and your reaction is extreme. I am truly sorry for what you are going through.

gingercat02 · 24/08/2025 14:49

We have been away so full hotel Scottish breakfast. Scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, haggis, black pudding, mushrooms hash browns, tattie scone and toast. 2 mugs of coffee.
Just had a Costa toastie and flavoured water.
Fajitas for tea (and wine cos it's a bank holiday)
That's a Sunday OP not keto bollocks.

paddyclampster · 24/08/2025 14:26

Anyone who wanks on about any part of Sunday needs their bumps feeling in my opinion!!!

But this one definitely takes the cake!

You sound like you have an eating disorder.

I love our Sunday breakfast! It's at the other end of the health spectrum. DD is home from uni', and made us breakfast in bed - waffles with whipped cream, blueberries and maple syrup. Yum. . . I was ever so good, I only had one. . .

Ah that’s lovely your daughter made you breakfast in bed!

Waffles, fruit and cream - Now that’s a breakfast I’d get on board for

ChewbaccasMrs · 24/08/2025 14:22

I was surprised with mcdonald's breakfast in bed,double sausage and egg muffin,2 hash browns,bbq sauce and a flat white and it was lovely,not having lunch because I'm still full but I will have dinner later.

IDreamOfElectricSheep · 24/08/2025 13:42

This thread is a bit of a ride!
Only one of my dcs has breakfast every day. The rest of us don’t so we really enjoy our weekend breakfasts too. I also love breakfasts even more if I’ve been active.
The best breakfast I had was when we packed filled bagels, fruit, juice and coffee went off on a bike ride and stopped off for picnic breakfast.

@Ekkekkkeekkkekk thank for starting a light hearted thread about Sunday breakfast. I clicked on it with happy anticipation. It’s a shame it’s been hijacked by so many posters who get angry that everyone isn’t exactly the same as them. They’re to be pitied really. Life must be a constant disappointing surprise for them.

AIBU has a reputation for this kind of nonsense. Sad people who have nothing better to do than try to make everyone else as miserable as they are. But it does get the most traffic. Try “chat” next time. Posters there seem less inclined to think everyone on social media should consider each and every issue that exists in the world should be considered before posting.

I hope you enjoyed your breakfast

I agree with this.
