Hey everyone. I was just sitting at my desk here at work this morning and realized I still need to drink my morning protein shake.
I have one every morning at work.....
So that got me thinking.

What's your favorite breakfast food? Is it simple like fruit or oatmeal or are you all about the loaded platter of bacon & pancakes?
Tell us!
 
Double expresso when I get up and then maybe two hours later I'll have breakfast which is anything from a slice of rye bread with marmalade or a full bacon and egg breakfast maybe once or twice a week. I've never been able to eat when I get up. My mom tried and tried to get me to eat before going to school but she eventually gave up and just packed me a slice of bread with peanut butter or jam so I could have it when I got to school.
 
This is a tough question, Kiana! It all depends on how I feel when I wake up. Some days, I’m perfectly content with a latte and a croissant. Other days, if I fast when I wake and have a late breakfast after hours of working on stuff, I want something with major protein, in which case my favorite is a breakfast skillet. Breakfast potatoes topped with chopped bacon, peppers, onion, and topped with a couple eggs over easy. Pop those yolks and let it run down into all that yummy goodness… I’m a happy girl!

But I rarely eat like that. Most mornings I have a protein bar or a bowl of this protein granola from Costco.
 
I've never been a breakfast person - or maybe I should rephrase that and say "during the week" I'm not a breakfast person. But, on the weekends, I just love going to our favorite greasy spoon for a hearty breakfast. Most weekends days that is the only real meal we eat.
 
I'm not a huge breakfast eater but I've learned that I need to have a little something...
protein shake & a banana
yogurt and fresh fruit

Buuuuut...sometimes I do like to splurge on french toast or a breakfast burrito or juevos rancheros (usually if we are out of town).
 
I'm not a breakfast person either. My breakfast is usually 2 cups of coffee with Italian sweet cream creamer lol. When I do get hungry though, I really like granola and Noosa yogurt.
 
Most days it's a slice of buttered toast, slice of deli turkey, scrambled eggs with shredded cheese.

Some days it's oatmeal but I'm not much of a fan.

Some days we have sliced brioche or buttered toast with jam that we dunk in a bowl of chocolate milk. Typical French breakfast.

French toast is one of my faves!!!!:thumbup:
 
I love breakfast! I have been addicted to Kashi’s GO peanut butter crunch cereal lately. A little goes a long way, it’s easy, and it holds me over until lunch. But I gain weight easily and it’s catching up on me so I have switched to my favorite carb-free breakfast: I make a skillet with eggs, spinach and sautéed mushrooms with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and grape tomatoes on top. That holds me until lunch also.

And coffee. Always!

That carb-free breakfast sounds yummy minus the mushrooms.

Wow. I'd say that was disciplined. Is there a reason?

My dad used to make me omelets before school until I got an ulcer when I was 16. The doc said I had to eat bland food "like Cheerios" and no more omelets, so they just stuck. Having to drink Mylanta before every meal has really made me not want to ever get another hole in my gut.

My stomach hurt all the time for weeks. Especially after I ate. We should have owned stock in antacid companies because of that. lol

I am on weight watchers now so since January I have had 2 eggs and cinnamon toast (45 calorie whole wheat bread, spray butter, 1 tsp of brown sugar on each piece and a ton of cinnamon). I was putting a little mozzarella cheese but I stopped...no cheese just eggs with a little salt. I drink a can of coke zero with it too. No coffee here for me.

I will splurge every now and then with pancakes or waffles but can't eat bacon or sausage. The lack of gall bladder makes it hard. I also love Chickfila breakfast minis too...yummy!! Donuts are my kryptonite...I love them and eat them on occasion but very rarely.
 
I will usually bring some yogurt to work. I can’t eat when I first get up. It’s the walk the dog, have my coffee, get ready. I start at 7:30 and usually eat between 9-9:30.

oh man, I love me some donuts too
 
I don't love breakfast; biscuits and gravy is my favorite breakfast, but that is not something I can eat on the regular.

There's a lady who makes whole wheat bread that is delicious, and I buy a loaf from her once a week. The morning I pick it up, I use up all of my self control to only have two slices. The rest of the week I alternate between oatmeal & eggs.

Melissa Urban, the founder of the Whole 30, says that you don't have to eat "breakfast" foods for breakfast, but I think she's wrong. ; )

Oh, I hope not. They are not fun especially if a kid likes pizza and soda and, well, most party foods. I hope she feels better soon.

We thought our middle daughter had an ulcer too - nope, our family just has to be weird. She had appendicitis for about 5 years - it would just come and go and therefore they never caught it. She had scopes, ultrasounds, you name it they tried to figure it out. She was losing weight (120 to 94 pounds)...finally she was having monthly toss your cookie moments that lasted for 24 hours. The last one I found her passed out on the bathroom floor, rushed her to the ER and several tests, confused doctors and finally a CT scan they said it was her appendix. The pain presented in her stomach. The surgeon pressed on her appendix and asked her if it hurt there, she said a bit, but her stomach hurt worse. The surgeon said that many doctors do not believe that chronic appendicitis exists, but he said that proof will be after her appendix is gone. No more appendix and she is a very active, healthy, cross-fit athlete. Now she can eat all the foods and she is THRILLED!
 
My favorite breakfasts are oatmeal with fruit (lately nectarine, blueberries, and raspberries) with Ripple milk and a splash of Truvia vanilla or lightly scrambled eggs (4 eggs with only 1 yolk) and Dave's thin-sliced bread toasted with a bit of strawberry jam. Both last me a while, but especially the eggs.

Favorite splurge breakfast is donuts - apple fritter to be specific.
 
Waffles, Pancakes, Breakfast tacos (specifically chorizo, potato & egg--man I sure do miss these from San Antonio). Let's not forget the Bacon, crispy
