@cpierce I don’t get hungry until lunch. I don’t understand people that need to eat right when they wake up. Don’t you get sick? Do you enjoy feeling bloated all morning?
@cpierce@JoetatoChip i’m the same way joe. i don’t eat anything until at least 10am, and sometimes i forget entirely. during my school years my mom would have me drink carnation instant breakfast made with milk because she didn’t want me to go to school hungry. i’m always super nauseous in the morning and solid food just makes it worse. i gave her a real thrill one day when i told her i knew what my problem was - morning sickness! i had heard the term and it seemed fitting, i just had no clue at 10 or 12 that it was something pregnant people got
@cpierce@TheFLP It’s not so much your stomach - by the time you feel hungry you’re running low on energy. Best to eat a little before you get too hungry. Same with water - if you’re thirsty you’ve waited too long to drink some.
I eat breakfast in pieces - Morning coffee and I grab a Clif bar to eat on the way to work, then a couple hours later have 1/2 a sandwich (PB&J!) and a hard boiled egg and more coffee. Lunch is also in 2 segments, and a late aft snack, usually fruit and yogurt. For some reason this works better for me nowadays - if I stop and have a full breakfast or lunch, I get logey and all I want to do is take a nap.
Routine? Routine!? The only thing routine about my morning is I wake up. Eventually. I’m guess that will all change the first time I don’t wake up and things become a lot more routine.
Either a toasted whole grain bagel with butter or peanut butter on it, or steel cut oatmeal (made the night before and allowed to cool and congeal), plus coffee and fruit.
lime skyr + homemade jerkola + fresh fruit. if i get bored of that occasionally i’ll do oatmeal with a fruit compote, or overnight oats or chia pudding made with kefir and fresh fruit.
unless it’s the weekend, then there’s usually one day we end up skipping breakfast and one day i make a big breakfast/brunch. (pancakes, crepes, french toast, or dutch baby + eggs + sausage or bacon. occasionally i’ll do omelettes and toast.)
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, people! Skipping breakfast, can’t believe it. That said, I can’t eat anything too heavy first thing in the morning, but by 10 I’m starving.
Tea ( hot) with honey, bread slice or 1/2 bagel or tortilla with crunchy peanut butter and sliced bananas on top. Most often lately, plain unflavored yogurt has been appealing. One time I had 3 huge scoops of sour cream for breakfast. It wasn’t until the next evening, when I went to put sour cream on my baked potato, did I see the unopened yogurt ( plain) and the half eaten sour cream.had a good laugh with that…
Fruit, kefir, spinach or kale in the blender. And coffee. Lots of coffee.
@ThatsHeadly I guess blending in coffee would make kale taste better.
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…
You can’t drink beer all day if you don’t start in the morning.
@2many2no … beer all day… heck no… only the real thing works… scotch or bourbon… yeah…
@2many2no @bayportbob If you are going to do it, do it right
@2many2no who drinks beer at 5am, unless they have been up all night doing whatever.
Missing option – I’m guessing I’m not the only one who prepares breakfast for my spouse!
@phendrick And I¨m just trying to leave for work before my spouse get out of bed
I don’t understand people that don’t eat breakfast. Do you enjoy being hungry until lunch?
Also my go-to is a peanut butter sandwich and some fruit, usually bananas and/or oranges.

@cpierce
During periods of my life when I didn’t eat breakfast every day, the days that I did eat breakfast made me hungry before lunchtime.
I think the stomach finds its own equilibrium either way.
@scotthall Not by eating 1 peanut butter sandwich and a banana, maybe if I ate 12 peanut butter sandwiches and 12 bananas
@cpierce if I eat after I wake up I always feel like im gonna vom
@cpierce @JoetatoChip maybe try eating before you wake up …

Something from the canteen at the office
A packet of oatmeal at work. On the weekends it¨s a portion of grits with a loose sunny side up egg atop, maybe some bacon.
@rtjhnstn Weekend: Now you’re talking. Definitely bacon crumbles on top. Prefer my egg on top over easy. A real breakfast.
Weekdays, I’d go for a boudin burrito over oatmeal.
Soylent
Talk about a cup of Joe!
Smoothie that starts with oatmeal, flaxseed, and nonfat yogurt and toss in random fruits and veggies.
