Some say Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They say it boosts metabolism and provides extra nutrients. It keeps you from being as hungry during the morning, so you’re better able to make healthy eating choices the rest of the day. It gives you energy to be more active. And, it can give you a good dose of that all-important nutrient – Protein.

Still, breakfast isn’t always the top priority for everyone. We may be too busy to cook, or too rushed in the morning to sit down for this meal. Or, it can just be too boring to make eggs every day, or grab a container of yogurt on the way out the door.

Do you eat breakfast every day? Did you used to, or did you start when you first started thinkg about WLS or even after? What do you usually have for breakfast, and how do you make sure you have time to prepare it every day?

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).

I would have a premier Protein for the road. ..

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.

Every morning two eggs fried in coconut oil

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
