What do you have for breakfast (Uk\Us)

[isitfridaay]

I have one slice of toast or a bowl of cereal (cornflakes shreddies porridge in winter)

About 5 times a year crumpets or. Croissant / cinnamon bun.

Do people have cooked breakfast everyday?

Inspired by watching re run of ER (the whole thing from pilot to end, currently s6 ep 22) A few innocent lines of reference to breakfasts which I have read too much into )

I'm in the US. I have tea, toast, sometimes a scrambled egg, more often a scoop two of Greek yogurt, or sometimes a swig of kefir.

Before eating anything I have water with lemon juice.

UK black pudding in a softie Sunday treat.

US here. Toast for me every day. We make our own bread and toast is my favorite thing to eat. My husband has a cooked breakfast every morning but he doesn’t work so he has time for that.

UK never cereal, never really liked it.

we used to have a fry up (grilled) every weekend but are both trying to lose weight so that’s only at hotels now.

I’ve also gone off eating pork as pigs are too lovely

yoghurt and fruit
Or
toast and peanut butter
Or
eggs in many forms.

toast is proper sourdough

Cold brew coffee, black. I don't eat until lunchtime.

UK, by the way.

UK - one egg scrambled on sourdough toast. At about 5.50 am 😂 And a couple of cups of redbush tea.

Porridge, Greek yoghurt, toast all leave me starving hungry an hour later, and I don't like sweet things in the morning.

I don't have kids and I get up at 5:30. I go to the gym, get dressed, pack lunch, then walk to work. I never ate breakfast growing up so I'm used to it. If I have breakfast I find it slows me down during my most mentally active part of the day.

My lunch is pretty substantial and protein-heavy/carb light so it keeps me full until dinner time without making me sleepy. Today I'm having homemade beef chilli. I walk home too and pick up dinner on the way.

Black coffee and usually overnight oats (I'm obsessed!) sometimes make cottage cheese pancakes. Very occasionally will be some kind of hot breakfast like omelette, eggs on toast etc

I've never really been a breakfast person. The thought of a cooked breakfast makes me feel a bit sick. I usually just have coffee and sometimes make a smoothie if I have fruit to use up. My kids just have a bowl of cereal.

I'm not super healthy or anything, just not a morning eater. I quite like french toast or eggs at lunchtime.

Depending on how I feel and the day of the week, any of the following:

muesli

smoked salmon with cream cheese on toast

cheesy scrambled eggs (sometimes on toast)

miso soup

Korean drug eggs with rice

A cooked full English breakfast is very, very rare and reserved for special occasions.

Toast with avocado and poached egg.

Toast and peanut butter.

Greek yogurt with berries and granola.

Toast and jam if i am hungover!

Smoothie. I usually chuck in 3 or 4 fruits, raw greens, flaxseed, yoghurt or kefir. UK.
Couldnt eat a cooked breakfast to save my life. Occasionally I might go mad and have a boiled egg.

If I've been weight training first thing - scrambled eggs

If it's cold - porridge

Otherwise - 2 slices of bread, one with peanut butter, one with Marmite, or overnight oats. Overnight oats are usually if I have to leave early, I take them with me.

Handful of fruit and fibre cereal, handful of nuts, berries, pint of strong black coffee.

Porridge with fruit and a cup of coffee

On workdays I have overnight oats with Greek yogurt, berries and almonds, and have recently started adding flaxseed.
On home days, I'll have eggs and toast, or maybe a spinach omelette.
I start with peppermint tea and then move on to coffee, in an attempt to to cut down on my coffee habit!

I work overnights so it’s all topsy turvy. Usually I get home around 6:30-7:00 in the morning, and if I’m hungry I’ll have leftovers from dinner the night before.

I do a lot of scrambled eggs on other days.

I'm British and have cereal most mornings (Weetabix with fruit and honey). Once a week we go out for coffee and cake for breakfast and if we're running low on milk then I'll have cake or fruit toast for breakfast at home.

DH is Chinese and doesn't eat breakfast but if he does he prefers something savoury (either Western or Asian).

Peanut butter on toast and a banana maybe half the week.
Eggs on toast or porridge the other half.
Occasionally overnight oats and nuts. Should do that more often really.

These people who don’t eat breakfast - how early do you wake up? Can’t imagine anyone getting up with kids at 6am then having nothing to eat until lunch at 12:30, that’s over six hours! Is this real?

I have two young children and am up most days from 6.30am with them. I only drink black coffee and water in the mornings and don't eat breakfast unless I'm on holiday and then I have a full English. I'm not hungry at all, I do intermittent fasting and feel really good and clear headed when I'm clean fasting (black coffee, black tea, green tea or water only.) Having even a little bit of milk in a drink in the morning makes me ravenously hungry as it spikes my blood sugar but if I stick to black coffee I can easily go to 1pm before eating.

All those who don’t eat breakfast — aren’t you ridiculously thin?

I’m naturally slim and if I skipped a whole meal like this I’d be underweight.

Not a stealth boast, I’m just very curious how you get enough calories in if you only eat two meals a day. Do you eat very large dinners? Are you underweight?

Nope, I'm a size 14. Realistically because although I only eat lunch and dinner I find it more than easy enough to get plenty of calories in those meals.

I am trying to lost weight, which is where cutting out breakfast completely does help but it doesn't mean that you're thin if you don't eat breakfast.... I am anything but!

Overnight oats with Greek yoghurt - often made up like a Bircher muesli with grated apple and chopped nuts. Otherwise with a homemade compote (rhubarb and strawberry in summer or apple and cinnamon in the winter). Sometimes just with frozen berries which leak juice as they defrost. Yummy!

In a lazy mood it’s a bowl of Fruit n Fibre.
