What did you have for breakfast this morning (maybe you’re eating your breakfast right at this moment!)? Was coffee your breakfast? Cereal? Oatmeal? Toast? Eggs? Eggs with bacon? Eggs with bacon and toast? Eggs with bacon and ham and toast? Eggs with bacon and ham and toast and hashbrowns? Eggs with… OK, fine, we’ll stop.
Do you most often eat a large breakfast, a small/light breakfast or no breakfast at all? After you vote in the poll, please tell us what you most often eat for breakfast in the comments. Don’t make us too hungry though…
‘Most often’ breakfast is light, but, on travel days I often treat myself to a big breakfast at a local restaurant. Then doggie and I make do at rest stops till we reach our destination.
Generally, I can’t eat before 10:30/11:00 without getting ill. So I will eat something, usually a breakfast food at that time. Then my lunch dinner around 4:30 and I am good for the day!
Light usually but I like my bigger breakfast on weekends.
2 pcs carb free toast with peanut butter
Grapefruit and a banana. Has been great to get the body going and also has helped tremendously in losing some weight!
My empty cereal bowl is still sitting next to me. Quaker Oatmeal Squares and skim milk. On occasion we will have a breakfast meal for lunch or dinner so I do get those pancakes & syrup sometimes. I’m old and can’t, shouldn’t, or do try not to eat like I used to.
It varies between “no” and “light.” If so, it could be a half bagel w cream cheese, cottage cheese and fruit, or Grapenuts w 2% milk. Very seldom do i eat large w all the “fixins” unless out w friends or maybe for dinner.
I like to have some serious protein for breakfast because that seems to ‘stick’ to me. Otherwise, if I just eat carbs the feeling of hunger comes back quickly and I’m looking for something else to eat (which I don’t need).
Toasted bagel w/ spray margarine, banana, & mandarin/apple OR 2 egg cheese & sausage omelet in the 5 Minute Chef w/ same Fri fruit choices.
Spam! Spam Spam Spam, Eggs, Spam Spam Spam and Spam!
Yahoo. Nothing beats some fried spam.
Usually I skip lunch. I have a big breakfast and maybe a snack (cheese and/or fruit) mid afternoon.
My typical breakfast has become two cups of heavily sweetened and creamed coffee (i.e., light tan in color, not black) and an Atkins meal bar. Sometimes I also eat a banana. Always also have a swig of orange juice to swallow my daily vitamins. Ideally would have a bowl of honey nut Cheerios with 2% milk instead of the Atkins bar, but current diet does not allow that.
Never used to eat breakfast ’til I retired…
Used to enjoy a large breakfast while working. Now I don’t eat till about 11AM and that fights Leaky Gut.
I eat a late breakfast. 10:30 AM because I am eating the Keto way and have kept an extra 50 pounds off for the last 3 years.
Fruit and cereal….does that count as light?
Eggs, bacon, toast, oj and coffee. Lunch light as well as dinner. Snacks between the meals. Being a diabetic I have to control all the sugars and this seems to help maintain that goal. Sucks but that’s life in the fast lane.
At home, we eat a substantial breakfast in late morning, then usually not much until supper. On the road we eat a moderate breakfast relatively early, then a light lunch, and usually drinks and munchies when we stop for the night before a late dinner. We seem to live two different life-styles.
When I was working I was a regular light breakfast (usually a bowl of cereal) consumer, but now retired and on the road, I can usually skip and just enjoy a nice lunch. The “intermittent fasting” phase is working well for me.
I eat breakfast several mornings a week, eating high fiber cereal with low-fat milk along with raisins or grapes.
DIdn’t see any poll.
Sorry, Selene. There have been more than 1,500 votes in the poll so far, so it might just be some setting on your computer or whatever you’re using which is blocking popups. Here’s an explanation from Jessica, one of our techy people: “Sometimes script blockers and ad blockers interfere with our polls since they are from a 3rd party site. If you have one of these try and turn it off and see if that fixes the issue.” I hope that helps. Have a good evening. 🙂 –Diane
We’re Southern. Breakfast is biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon and/or sausage, honey or jelly, occasionally molasses, occasionally ham. Light or no lunch, big supper.
I grew up on a farm. Big breakfast after chores, feeding the animals and gathering eggs. Got into the habit and still eat a big breakfast 60+ years later.
Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg & Cheese Crossiant (every day). Then usually around 4 pm I’ll eat a little something (not much).
Always ate a big breakfast when I was in the Navy, usually because I was so active I’d burn it off by noon! After I retired, I’d eat big about half the time (2 egg omelet, sausage, hash browns, trimmings) and light the next (oatmeal or waffles or toast or danish) and a decent lunch. I’d have a good sized salad for dinner on big breakfast days and a good sized lunch late on light breakfast days. I’d always have homemade greek yogurt for a snack during the day. Kept things from becoming too routine, and allowed me to eat out at work a few days a week while avoiding burger joints.
