A greedy bastard breakfast

[SquishyBones]

I was speaking to an old friend this morning who laughed and asked if I still had greedy bastard breakfasts. I asked what he was on about and he started going on about what I used to eat really laughing and banging on and exagurating saying I used to eat a couple of boxes of cereal and 2 loaves of bread etc.

What I actually had was a bowl of cereal, toast, a yogurt and a banana. This is what he called a greedy bastard breakfast. I feel like he’s been taking the piss out of me for years for this but never had the balls to bring it up with me.

@GimmeAy I'm a size 8 and my stomach can hold an entire dominoes large pizza and cookies plus a garlic bread. I don't do it often, but I could. Saying 'oh gosh I could NEVER stomach toast, cereal and yoghurt' is vey uppity.

It's the fags and the masses of milk in your lattes filling you up.

Don't know why you'd care what someone else thinks about it though. Eat what you want

@GimmeAy

You must have a massive sized stomach of steel. Breakfast for me is a coffee (or two) - lattes and about 4 cigarettes before I'd get to work. About three/four hours into the day I'll feel hungry (about 10-11am) so will have something savoury, like sausage rolls or a slice of Quiche Lorraine or the dinky little quorn mini sausages which were gorgeous - I'd have about 5 of them (about 30 kcals each). Then I'd have lunch - just a sandwich - usually 350 kcals and then just an evening meal - maybe 500-600 kcals and chocolate or some oaty biscuits at bedtime. I'm slim. My stomach wouldn't be big enough to hold all you eat at breakfast all at once. I nibble throughout the day.

It's hilarious when someone who eats as badly as you do feel the need to criticise someone else's food intake.

So you have a greasy, fatty, salty sausage roll or some over processed fake sausages for your first meal of the day and think the OP has bad eating habits.

It doesn't seem large to me if the OP expends energy in a physical way through work or exercise.

You'd have to have an iron clad stomach to wash down a latte with 4 fags in a row. Vom.

My 3 & 1yo have cereal/porridge AND toast/crumpets every day for breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day you know!

It’s basically brunch , am assuming you didn’t also eat lunch?

I’m also slim and could easily eat OP’s breakfast without gaining weight. Generally I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want.

Her breakfast just wouldn’t necessarily be what I’d choose, toast & cereal is a strange combo - you’re choosing between cold toast or soggy cereal dependent on what you eat first surely?

I generally do eat fruit & yogurt for breakfast. Or a granola bowl or smoothie/protein shake. But my fave larger breakfast is a protein power pot. Beans, mushrooms, egg and halloumi. Toast or hash browns optional. So satisfying. Or pastries/pancakes/brioche toast

Well if I was going to have both I'd make one and then eat it and then make the other. Not leave one thing going cold/soggy while I eat the other.

Back to the standard for this kind of thread - women claiming they only eat 1000 calories a day and that it suits them fine. Unless they are 4 feet tall, they are lying.

A sausage roll can a wonderful breakfast on a cold and drizzly winter morning.

Can be

Whoops.

Definitely a vast breakfast OP 🙄, my toddler had Weetabix and a banana this morning he then snaffled several strawberries from the plants in the garden within seconds of finishing and less than an hour later stole a slice of toast from DHs plate and ran off with it, munching as he ran. He's eighteen months old and not even a tiny bit chubby

@iklboo
That's a huge breakfast! I just have a sniff of a sparrow's arse and one cornflake

That's pure gluttony. Do you have NO self control? Couldn't you split that cornflake and have half at lunchtime? The NHS doesn't need to be put under yet more pressure because people like you can't control themselves.

A mere glance towards the kitchen is enough for me.

Or you make the toast whilst eating the cereal....

am I missing something?!

In my opinion that certainly is a lot to eat in the morning but he was rude to laugh at you. Personally I like a glass of lemon water, an avocado, two eggs and grated courgette for breakfast. Sometimes I add a slice of toast if I fancy it and often a coffee too. It’s personal choice what you eat for breakfast at and none of his business. Just tell him he’s being rude if he does it again.

It depends what you are doing the rest of the day. It’s big for me but I’m not a morning person and am not training for a marathon/cycling an hour into work daily so don’t need the calories. If you’re a healthy weigh (or body fat percentage) and eat that then you clearly burn it off so need it.

I’d shit myself at work if I had that for breakfast

I am not having a go, as you say, personal choice. I was with you until grated courgette, then I fell apart. :o Sorry!

It just made me laugh, I really am sorry and am about to sit in the naughty corner for the time it takes to make and eat a bacon sandwich

GimmeAy, your post isn't helpful.

We often have a greedy bastard breakfast for dinner on a Friday - bacon, eggs, sausages, potato waffles, and beans. Brinner. It’s my favourite thing.

You’re grand, OP, crack on.

@PyongyangKipperbang ha ha each to their own! It’s what I enjoy and that’s what matters - plus it mixes really nicely with my eggs!

Cereal, toast and fruit is a perfectly standard toddler breakfast. So I don't see why adults can't have all that too.

We have "breakfast for dinner" @judystilldreamsofhorses

I have to make an order sheet like at work (I manage[d] a pub restaurant) because out of 6 of us there is always a mix of who wants poached eggs, with dippy v hard yolks, v scrambled eggs, tomatoes v beans and toast v hash browns v Mrs Kipperbangs (aka my mother) fried bread!
