Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?



Recommended Posts

My usuals are either a Protein Shake, 1 egg with a little bit of cheese or a yogurt. It all depends how im feeling. I usualy need to wait at least an hour before I can eat something.

No, I've never been much a Breakfast eater plus I am having a hard time figuring out what to have. Weekends are easier because I like eggs, so I will typically have about 1/2 an egg with wheat toast but share 1/2 of each with my 3 dogs.

During the week, I'm up early and hit the ground running with no time for breakfast unless I could eat it in the car on my 45 minute commute.

Sometimes I will grab a couple crackers out of my lunch bag just to put something in my belly in the morning. I just don't know what to have in the morning.

I eat a scrambled egg (microwaved in a mug) in my car or leftover Protein from dinner... Usually chicken or fish.

Weekdays i have a Premier Protein shake blended with about 1/4 cup berries and banana slices with a Tbls organic almond butter. Weekends I splurge and have 1 fried egg or scrambled eggs with bacon. I find my energy level tends to be better with the shakes. I'm still a few pounds away from my goal, so I'm being careful to stick with my eating plan. To that end breakfast is not a big deal to me-although I did have French toast on Christmas Eve ????

A more interesting question might be "what do you eat before you go to bed?" I have found I sleep better when I have a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or 1-2 ounces of meat before I sleep. That way I'm not famished first thing in the morning. My first wave is always coffee with Protein powder (as well as Vietnamese Cinnamon and vanilla Stevia).

Great believer in we can live on 1 meal a day & that has to be breakfast.

Usually up around 4am, 2 wheat bix multi grain, [no sugar added] with whole milk to start....no coffee tea or other beverage.

Later a cup of hot chicken broth with Vitamins, then around 6.30-7am 1 or 2 eggs [any style], 2 rashers of bacon plus bubble & squeak [left over veges] as a pancake [or alternate baked Beans, great Protein if you didn't know] with one piece of homemade bread toast & butter.

Volume is less than 2 cups if chewed slowly & properly. Once satiated leave what is left for the neighbors dog.

Off on 6k return bike ride, to about an 1 hour session @ the gym, 3 times a week.

Yes I almost always eat Breakfast. I have a couple of standards: 3 oz of stewed chicken sometimes rolled in a corn tortilla sometimes not or my cottage cheese parfait. Which is a few berries, 1/2 tablespoon of agave Syrup and a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, topped with 2 tablespoons of "Wildlife" granola. Both are easy to package if I'm not particularly hungry early and want to take it to work to eat later.

I have a poached egg done in the microwave ( 1/3 cup of Water, splash of cider vinegar, cover with paper towel 50 seconds and done ) I also have 1 tablespoon of Real Bacon Crumble and maybe a 1/4 avocado if they are nice. I have this pretty much every morning

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
