I just realized I didn’t know any Americans
Coffee and meds. Peanut butter toast if I’m feeling naughty
Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.
Weekdays: 5g psyllium husk, 5g creatine, 30g whey protein, double Turkish coffee, 1 liter of water.
Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.
My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.
A smoothie and/or bagel with cream cheese.
On weekends, I usually skip it because I’m asleep. If I do make something, it’s for a date, so pancakes/French toast, eggs, and some fruit.
Beer.
My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain “American?” yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.
Meetings
Nothing. Last thing on my mind in the morning is food.
Appetite usually kicks in my the late afternoon/early evening, when I have my first and usually only meal.
Same. Every now and then around 10 I’ll go ape on a proper eggs n bacon or sausage type meal, but 6/7 days I don’t eat til like noon -2:00 p
Coffee and a water.
3 cups of coffee. Unless it’s 4.
I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I’ve always heard Lemmy’s average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.
There are some of us who wake up early to work out and have breakfast with our significant others before work. You don’t have to be old to appreciate spending time together, or make room for it in your life.
My wife leaves for work at 7:30a, I’ve been up since 5:30a spending the morning with her. Sometimes those two hours are the highest quality time we’ll spend together all day, fewer distractions.
Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.
If you’re doing office work, breakfast really isn’t that important
Maybe those who don’t eat breakfast or eat nothing fancy don’t feel motivated to comment so there could be some bias in the comments.
I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!
If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol
idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:
nothing, just not hungry that morning
some kind of soup + toast
small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat
ramen w/chicken and veggies
… throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.
Anxiety and despair
it varies
been enjoying granola, some berries, and a coconut yogurt recently
breakfast burritos are popular if I have time
sometimes I just drink 14 grams of ground flax seeds mixed into water and a spoonful of peanutbutter
a lot of times it’s just whatever leftovers are in the fridge
on a Sunday I might make a more traditional breakfast (toast with jam, eggs, sausage, and cooked greens)
I am shook by the flaxseed chug. I am a fibermaxxer myself and have never resorted to such things.
for extra fiber I sometimes add a tablespoon of psyllium husk, too
flax tastes pretty good actually, it’s not as bad as it sounds (still a texture adjustment, though)
psyllium husk doesn’t taste as good as flax seed
