I've never been a breakfast person, and I don't wake up hungry. I used to go a few hours without eating anything and then have a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of brown rice, and a sliced avocado with some salt or soy sauce. That's a very tasty and healthy breakfast, but I get hungry again within a couple of hours.

Normally I don't eat much carbs, like bread or pasta or potatoes, and I don't get my fats from butter or dairy.

This week I started eating a butter sandwich as soon as I wake up in the morning. And when I say "butter sandwich" I'm talking about eight pats of butter between two slices of whole wheat bread.

Why is this so satisfying? I'm not hungry until late in the afternoon, at which point I just wait until dinnertime.

I'd like to lose some weight, and with these butter sandwiches I'm consuming much less food during my day, but they can't be healthy for me. Clearly I don't know how nutrition works.

What do you eat in the morning?

Sometime i have greek yogurt and fruit? Tbh i dont eat breakfast sometimes bc usually i am not hungry enough to eat more than once if i even get hungry at all. My parents used to make me finish breakfast when I was like 4 and under but then they stopped and were more like "you dont have to eat if youre not hungry." So i guess if youre not hungry maybe not force yourself to eat? But at the same time i get esp if you do lots of hard work u might wanna have at least protein like boiled egg.

Very similar to your rice and eggs. I cook the eggs sunny side up with runny yolks and put them on the rice. Green onions, and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Some soy sauce to season and I am full for quite a while

Weekdays: Approx. 100g of fresh or thawed berries and peaches mixed with 200g whole milk Greek yogurt, sweetened with stevia and drizzled with local honey.

Weekends: whatever leftover lunch/dinner type foods are in the fridge.

I also have a homemade latte everyday.

I'm on a doctor prescribed eating plan so two eggs or a protein shake or a protein bar (premier protein for the shakes and fit crunch for the bars for anyone curious.)

Granola with almond milk, blueberries, raspberries, collagen, and creatine.

It's a bit much, but I like it.

[–] TheBaldness@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where do you get the collagen from?

[–] Tilted@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I use a collagen peptides powder from Amazon

[–] TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Greek yogurt with a little cereal on top and hot tea.

Small breakfasts for me. I'm lazy so it'll usually be a microwaved frozen burrito and a large cup of coffee. 😅

Black coffee One apple One banana 500ml banana flavoured pea protein isolate

I'm not thrilled about consuming so much of the pea protein isolate, however I'm now actually seeing progress in my workouts so that's nice! I'm looking at replacing it with a source of protein that's a bit more natural, or atleast not processed to high heaven.

Lately, steel cut oats with half a banana and 250ml of kefir. I actually hate eating breakfast. I was into Intermittent Fasting for years and did 18/6 almost every day, but then I was diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor told me to stop IF if I wanted my meds to work as they should without causing low blood sugar.

@TheBaldness I don't always eat breakfast, but when I'm hungry in the morning I eat a lye roll without anything. They're less calories than a crossiant, and because of the lye they're not as dry as a normal bread roll.

  • Every morning: 2 cups Cafix, 1 cup decaf coffee, 4 prunes
  • Alternate mornings: 1 thick slice homemade whole wheat bread, dipped in olive oil
  • The other mornings: 1 large sourdough pancake, dressed with olive oil and salt

I usually eat breakfast around 5AM, and this holds me until lunch at 11AM.

Pretty sure I'm not in the mainstream.

Clearly I don’t know how nutrition works.

... yeah about that...

Eating the same thing for a week or so is fine, for example when a particular vegetable is in season it's fine to eat a lot of it, but you really should mix it up more than it sounds like you are.

You can kinda get away with it if you eat commercial breakfast cereals, because they are often "fortified" with a whole bunch of neutrients that aren't naturally in whatever they're made of. But they still have too much sugar, so they're not really a great option. If you're lazy though - go for that.

What do I eat for breakfast? Normally whatever is left over from dinner, and it's different every day. If I don't have any (or enough) then I'll eat cereal or toast.

[–] TheBaldness@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I really don't change it much. I pretty much eat the same things all the time, at least when I'm at home.
