It's not the most important meal but making oatmeal or toast or fancy yogurt really makes the day feel more handle-able! I usually make a fancy hot cereal with honey, yogurt with granola and fruit, or a fancy nut butter toast situation. Sometimes when we have time it's an omelette or pancakes or hash browns situation.
Oatmeal with a slice cheese melted on top, soy milk
Oatmeal with fruit
avocado toast, breakfast sandwich, oatmeal (winter), hummus toast, yogurt, or smoothie
- egg tacos
- overnight chia pudding with cinnamon
- oatmeal
Breakfast is important, however I sometimes struggle to prioritize it.
I get the ick from eggs a LOT. So I go through breakfast phases. When I like eggs it’s usually scrambled or over easy eggs with white rice (or toast) and turkey sausage, when I have the ick from eggs it’s usually a smoothie, overnight oats, or my homemade granola bars. Been really trying to limit my processed foods except for the turkey sausage bc that shit is tasty. That’s all!
Since having my baby, my go-to breakfast is coffee and an egg sandwich - I cook the egg on the Dash waffle maker and put it on a mini everything bagel with mayo and hot sauce. Before that, I commuted to work and ate a yogurt cup at my desk. Sometimes I'll have savory oatmeal with an egg, cheese, green onions, olive oil, and salt.
Every morning I eat a bowl of oatmeal with peanut butter, ground flax, almonds, and banana
Yogurt w/fruit and nuts OR smoothie for warm weather. Oatmeal or toast for cold weather. Eggs/pancakes for weekends (this is not seasonal weirdly)
Rolled oats or eggs and bacon
A fried or scrambled egg on toast with hot sauce, oatmeal, or sometimes egg and black bean tacos
Go to breakfast is a veggie omelet
overnight oats, scrambled eggs and toast, smoothie
I cook breakfast to entice my kids to get up in the morning. It usually consists of fruit, protein, and some carbs. For example, this morning's breakfast was buttery fried corn with sausage, fried egg, raspberries and grapes. Cooking breakfast is my wakeup routine.
Scrambled eggs and early grey or Greek yogurt and earl grey tea
Scrambled eggs, toast, and fruit or oatmeal with maple and walnuts,
Yogurt bowls, toad-in-the-holes, oatmeal with fruit and nut butter, breakfast sandwich, French toast, cottage cheese with fruit
Savory over sweet! Protein is key! Fave brekkie is cottage cheese with flaky salt and drizzled with chili oil on toast (rosemary olive oil sourdough from wegs)
In a typical week I'll have eaten all of the following for breakfast : eggs with starch and kale, protein shake, homemade pancakes or waffles, and cereal
Protein pancakes or egg sandwiches
Usually tofu and veggie scramble or eggs of some sort with toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, pour over coffee 😂
Microwave 1/3 cup of quick oats with blueberries and and blanched sliced almonds for winter breakfast. Summer breakfast is yogurt with blueberries and granola. Weekends is bacon and eggs or sausage gravy over biscuits or French toast or waffles. All homemade. Much better made at home so don’t really go out to eat anymore.
Cinnamon toast and a diet Dr Pepper
My fav meal of the day. Pancakes, eggs, yogurt and granola, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns U NAME IT
Scrambled eggs
scrambled eggs and shredded cheese in the microwave while green tea brews and Heidelburg bread with grassfed butter. Sundays I cap it off with a shot of cold brew coffee liquor in a coke.
Wheat toast, fried egg, almond milk.
Varies not the same every day. Most common is toast & fruit, and seasonally: oatmeal or quick poached egg with toast in winter, granola & yogurt & berries in summer, cereal with berries in summer
Big cooked breakfast (pancakes, waffles, eggs etc. one or two times month on weekends )

Changes every few weeks---right now it's eggs & rice & kimchi! Cooking is often the most relaxing part of my day, so it's nice to spend time in the morning making something that tastes & feels good.
Meal prep FTW!
I've definitely been through periods in my life where I cooked myself a full breakfast every morning, usually when under/unemployed or working primarily evenings. Tamago kake gohan has been a favorite of mine for a "cooked" breakfast which is fast, hot, and delicious
Oh man, so many variables! Clarifying statements and questions on the above:
1. I (Liv) will cook a breakfast just for Aly as often, (if not more so), as cooking for the both of us. I like cooking breakfast, but don't always feel like eating until 10 or 11a.
2. Aly will also often bake things on the weekend to serve as breakfast supplements during the week days; Apple cake, muffins, home-made granola, etc. Not sure if this counts
3.Do smoothies count as cooking? They definitely take a respectable amount of work and make some dishes.
4. How about breakfasts with one quick component and one cooked element? For example, half a grapefruit as-is, plus a vegetarian sausage patty that is cooked?
Quick/easy(cereal or granola bar)on work days, cook(pancakes, omelette)on days off. Once a week, scone and latte from gimme.
love breakfast foods but rarely eat in mornings but ALWAYS cook myself dinner
Breakfast is not a consistent meal everyday for me. Sometimes it's a turkey sandwich or dinner leftovers. Sometimes it's just toast.
Granola bar- will almost never have breakfast on the weekends, more sleep is always worth it
Always savory, usually eggs. The best breakfast is when I have leftover roasted veggies from the dinner before, and a fried egg or two goes on top. Sometimes I plan my dinner just to have leftovers for breakfast.
Same breakfast during weekdays, a bit more creative on weekends
I would eat breakfast more if it were socially acceptable to eat lunch/dinner foods in the morning
Breakfasts for me are reserved for waking up late days, like a big waffle spread on a random weekend. Breakfast food is the best kind of food, anytime of the day! I like it for dinner. Idk about it being the most important meal, cause I'm a bad case study there lol :)
Twice a week I treat myself to breakfast out normally Ithaca coffee (rooster sandwich ftw) or Adam’s corner cafe. I used to buy breakfast more until I started par baking potatoes and now I’m able to have homemade home fries + eggs and tea within 10-15min
Spouse and I almost always eat breakfast at home. It starts with Coffee Hour - coffee, pet and human cuddles, and convo. Food comes after. During the week I alternate between over-easy/scrambled eggs and toast; toast PB and banana; yogurt with fruit, nuts, and honey; and cereal (hot or cold depending on the season) On the weekend, I might make omelets or waffles, or my spouse might make pancakes. Breakfast for Dinner happens from time to time, too.
changes seasonally
I don't eat breakfast... wake up, shower, and go to work. Wife and kids eat in the morning though.
I have one very large cup of coffee w creamer. One hour later I have two or three scrambled eggs with sweet peppers and a little shredded cheese in them. If I’m feeling frisky I will fry a couple pieces of bacon or more likely some deli ham. I do this five days a week. Weekends often do it as well but also flexible for going out or doing something different.
I don’t know why it felt fun to type this out but it did.
breakfast is for weekends and vacations!
Cold Hawaiian pizza is the best breakfast food. I said what I said.

If I’m being honest- most days are coffee. But I *intend* to eat breakfast every morning. When I do it’s minimal. Maybe I actually should prep breakfast so that it’s easier, psychologically, to get myself to eat it 🫢
Chia seed pudding with strawberries and I have eaten this for about 2-3 years now and I honestly hate it. I struggle to make anything morning of, especially if I have to go into the office. Breakfast is probably one of my most bought out meals. Definitely an important meal to have, I just need something to kick start my brain.
Starting your day with protein is really good for people with depression to help you get the long stable energy for the day. I do a breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties, sharp cheddar, on a grainy bread.
I often don't "break fast' until after 1pm on lunch time because of some health issues that are worse in the morning. I also don't drink coffee. My morning beverages tend to be something sweet--tea, a doctor pepper, sprite.
Can’t bring myself to eat anything before at least noon lol I just don’t get hungry. Always been that way.
Breakfast was always my fave meal of the day but since starting a weight loss journey I just drink tea w milk every morning and that's it. Ideally, I'd LOVE to buy breakfast every day but there are not much for vegan options (especially healthier or grab & go things) in Ithaca. I don't want Angelhearts deep-fried junk food first thing in the morning 🥲
I am anti-sugary breakfast. I really feel like I need something substantial with more protein to get me going in the morning.
Every morning: one egg, fried; two pieces of toast, and pot of tea. If it's an athletic day (big bike ride, hike) then it's two eggs. Pancakes sometimes. Homemade granola subbing for toast if I'm out of bread. Never skip breakfast, EVER - a path to misery for me. I'd rather skip lunch than breakfast.
I have a protein shake when I first wake up and then cook a breakfast sandwich about an hour after I finish my shake. I cannot start my day if I have not had both my shake and sandwich.
always have breakfast (especially if I’m having coffee) because otherwise I’m sluggish and it screws up your gut to drink coffee on an empty stomach! I have eggs most days, with fruit/bread/etc. if I’m in a rush I have Greek yogurt
My breakfast used to be a cigarette and a coffee but I gave up tobacco 4.5 years ago (thanks, Covid!). Now I find I'm sluggish and unfocused until I eat lunch if I skip my usual two fried eggs topped with feta and piece of fruit and only have the coffee. I couldn't tell you what it's like without even the coffee, not sure I'd make it out the house.
I feel like I don’t have time to have breakfast in the mornings
I need to eat breakfast but it doesn't tend to be elaborate at all- yogurt and granola, oatmeal, smoothie, sometimes I'll meal prep a batch of muffins. Eggs probably 1ish weekday a week? I try and save buying breakfast as an occasional treat, usually Gimme pastries, Ithaca bakery breakfast sandwich, or Dunkin breakfast sandwich.
Strong hot black tea with: oatmeal or cold cereal with yoghurt; or toast with pb and banana; weekends, eggs or omelet with toast. This has been routine for many years; I'm not very functional if I skip breakfast
I have a complicated relationship with breakfast. I do think bfast can be the most important meal of the day, but I am often not at all hungry enough for it until around 10 or 11am. A delicious egg breakfast with veggies and toast, along with a cup of tea or coffee, is a dream! BUT: it totally zaps my energy… I often do best with a smoothie or a quick breakfast bar. And coffee on an empty stomach makes me irritable!
I just came back from visiting my mother. She’s all about the multi-course bfast. Start with fresh cut fruit. Then an egg main dish. Then bfast dessert! (a muffin, croissant, toast w/ jam etc)
A pretty good mix of 1 and 2, probably more 2 if you’re counting a piece of toast any time before lunch. It’s like 3 hours after I get up, hard to call it breakfast anymore but it’s eating something before lunch 🤓
Not super important. My mom prepares it, and I probably wouldn’t eat much breakfast were it not for that. A typical breakfast for me includes some kind of fruit, some pancakes, and a hard-boiled egg.
I ALWAYS eat breakfast. Never leave my house without eating. My staples are:
- Ham & Cheese sandwich (fried egg optional)
- 2 eggs with toast or hashbrowns
- oatmeal with fruit, nuts and cheese (or egg)
Also, I have a coffee every morning.
Having 3 meals a day is a non-negotiable for me.

Usually some oatmeal and a protein shake. Cup of coffee as soon as I get into work

Start your day with as basic a whole grain as possible (brown rice, oatmeal, etc.) and you won't regret it when your guts are old!

High protein fortified cereal with Physivantage plant-based protein and collagen alternative in creamy oat milk. There is always coffee; 250ml from pour over. This is the same every day.
Overnight oats!
quick oats!
It’s just overnight oats which takes like 5 minutes the night before
I am always hungry in the morning so rarely skip breakfast. Overnight oats with seeds & protein powder on weekdays. Usually either make something on weekends since there is more time, or if not we’ll eat leftovers from previous days. Will definitely look out for your follow up, very interesting question!
Overnight protein oats
Small oatmeal with protein powder. One banana and one slice of bacon
Overnight oats, somewhere in between preparing the night before but very quick
Either skip and just have coffee or overnight oats -- I'll mix up a batch on the weekend and eat it all week

I cook two eggs and toast a slice of bread, and have pretty much done this continuously since early high school. I generally find cooking pretty intimidating, but I've done this so often that it feels very straightforward and doesn't take that long, and I consistently enjoy eating it which is cool.
If I was prepared/motivated, I'd have avocado slices on a just egg patty with cholula hot sauce and slice of sourdough toast. But I usually never eat :)
Generally I will microwave eggs with something (pico, salsa, chopped veg if time) mixed in. Lately it travels to work with me. Sometimes I microwave oatmeal. Sometimes it's leftovers from last night's dinner.
Usually 2or3 over easy eggs, ww toast, some sort of greasy meat. Of course always have to have coffee
Best version of myself drinks an espresso w an unflavored seltzer. Two eggs over easy and a protein shake. Maybe a handful of blueberries. I usually end up with just the espresso and eggs, but I very rarely skip.
I cook eggs and toast most mornings!
I usually fry an egg and make toast.
I usually eat toast, but I switch up whether I put cream cheese, jam or pb on it based on my mood. I've been in a cream cheese mood these days
I always have eggs. But I keep it very simple with minimal prep. If I have time I make an egg and cheese burrito-taco and if I don’t, hard boiled egg (the night before) and toast with butter and jam. I have a second simple breakfast at work at 9am of an oat bar and tea.
On the weekends I have an egg sandwich or rice and kimchi with a fried egg.

oatmeal is my friend!
I can’t get by without it. We make a smoothie right now, so that’s more than microwaving something but not really cooking. We used to alternate between oatmeal in the winter and smoothie in the summer but for the past year and a half it’s been smoothie szn
I'm very proud of the cracked wheat/cracked oats cereal I mil at home.
Microwave oatmeal in the winter, cereal in the summer
Hard boiled eggs in a little $30 egg maker is a game changer
Cold cereal or microwave oatmeal
Whole milled oats, microwaves in 1:15.
Oatmeal in the microwave - game changer

Used to eat cereal every day
Buy breakfast every day? In this economy???
I maintain that chewing cereal with your mouth open deeply enhances the experience
changes over the seasons from cold cereal, yogurt and granola to hot oatmeal in colder months
I stopped eating breakfast 8 years ago and I firmly believe it is unnecessary and only embedded in our culture for big cereal to make more money
6 eggs, toast, blueberry/spinach smoothly. Every day for nearly 20 years
Cereal. Almost always. Some rare weekends I might make eggs or pancakes or oatmeal but most of the time it’s a bowl of cereal.

Fried potato cubes, potato, smoothie, coffee w/cream
i'm counting a smoothie of banana, greens, almond butter, flax and misc other fruits as "preparing something". and i quit coffee cold-turkey a few weeks ago!! for various collapse-related reasons (yes hi it's me)
Either skip it entirely or a bowl of wheatabix / raisin bran (I promise I'm not 80)
Chopped or defrosted frozen fruit w/ yogurt or cottage cheese and a spoonful of muesli + gallons of coffee. Not cooking, but not a granola bar, either.
Steel cut oats with tryout and yoghurt. Not the quick kind either
Can't skip it, but don't have time to make it; cereal and granola have my heart!

I do a lot of freezer meals for breakfast - breakfast burritos, quiches, muffins.
If not for health reasons, I would be making some form of bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich every day.
quinoa bowl with avocado, onions, cheese, hard boiled eggs and salsa
tofu scramble with soyrizo and a hash brown and a bagel with coffee every single day until I die
I make a breakfast bagel (egg cheese vegan patty) for lunch though
I'm a egg and veggies person now but for YEARS I made cheese quesadillas every single morning

Strong feelings that I need to eat something, but it can't be too much.
I love breakfast its just I work early so I don’t really have the time to make/get something. On my off days I spend time making a full breakfast
While I was in school I prepared/cooked something, or at least had something minimal prep every day for breakfast. Now that I've started my new job I haven't had time to do that, so I buy but I can see it adding up and want to find a meal-prep plan to help make it less expensive.
I love breakfast, and when I was working full time, I did eat it, but since quitting my job and starting vet school, everything has been chaotic and I haven't been eating breakfast much. Sometimes a snack. I need to get into the breakfast meal prep so I'm not so hungry during classes/labs
I have an early lunch around 10/11am because I go to work at 6am. I guess that could be considered breakfast for someone who goes to work a regular 9-5 though lol I usually eat lunch foods though. Salads, wraps, etc
