If you pick up any health magazine, the discussions regarding Breakfast are extreme - from people criticizing cereals as being extremely unhealthy to people having a zero carb breakfast.

Sooo..what do you have for breakfast and why?

Let me start:

I have two Weetbix biscuits along with Milk, nuts (Pumpkin seeds, Chia seeds, Almonds sliced, Goji Berries), Blueberries, bit of honey, youghurt and a seasonal fruit cut into pieces.

I have been told that Weetbix are full of Carbs and nuts are fat blah blah but I don't care.

Reason: For my metabolism, it seems to keep me almost full till lunch or I might have a protein snack in between if I have an early Breakfast.

Plus it's easy I don't have to cook anything.

        Both.

        There's a number of sources on this, but anything by dom D'agostino or Peter attia explains it well.

    Weekdays:

    Handful of almonds, a banana or apple and a latte/long black.
    Sometimes may have some yoghurt instead of fruit.

    Weekends:

    Oats with honey
    Couple of Weetbix
    Occasionally i may have toast and/or scrambled eggs and bacon.

  • Chewiebacca on 15/01/2019 - 10:35

    I do intermittent fasting just because I'm lazy and hate cooking, will meal prep 2-3 days in advance for lunch and dinner, and snack on almonds, fruits (free at work and I stock them at home), muesli bars, cereal, chips.

    'Brunch' is usually 4 or so eggs (made into an omelette), and a protein shake.

  • echineon on 15/01/2019 - 10:59

    I don't eat breakfast, not when I was a kid, not now. A cup of coffee for brekkie is about it. I have my lunch early 11-ish, so even on weekend I do the same and I don't feel like I miss breakfast.

  • DaddysBelt on 15/01/2019 - 11:12

    Big ol smoothie. Banana, full cream milk, oats, LSA mix and protein powder. Fills me up until mid-morning.

  • CalmLemons on 15/01/2019 - 11:59

    2-3 weetbix, soy milk or full cream, honey, walnuts, cranberries.

    tough days will do a double shot soy or full cream milk latte

    chill days will do hot or cold green tea for the full day

    just to let everyone know remember coffee contains cholesterol…..

  • longislandicetea on 15/01/2019 - 13:03

    1.5 cups of steel cut oats with a scoop of protien powder and long black coffee

      Was it necessary to indicate the machine material used to cut your oats?
      Will your oats be different if they were cut with a titanium blade or obsidian blade?

        I only eat oats cut by bonafide ninjas

      • Pyrock on 15/01/2019 - 14:32

        My sister says the same thing. Its apparently "less processed"
        I dont get it either

    As Sabretooth said….

    it's subjective, one person's healthy breakky may be disastrous to another person.

    Example, Tim Cahill has 7-8 Weetbix Biscuits with large bowl of milk….try doing that if you're an Office Worker and you'll have a trail of shit in your pants all the way to the toilet, not to mention the excess carbs bringing you a thick layer of fat before you can say "Weetbix".

    I used to have all sorts of delicious street food (various noodles, sticky rice, sandwiches , banh mi, etc.) when I was overseas. Since migrating to Australia, my breakfast changed to just coffee and a piece of something (meat pie, sausage roll, banana bread, muesli bar etc.). Often coffee is free at work and bread/muesli from home ($1-2 a day).

    I guess it is time constraint and/or working culture that influenced how I eat my breakfast. Nevertheless, my weekend breakfast (late) is always a good bowl of Pho. (Vietnamese Beef Noodles - about $12). Most people of my age would probably go for smashed avocado or other overpriced breakfast ($20-30) on the weekends and I just don't get it. Definitely not a place to go for Ozbargainers.

    • serpserpserp on 16/01/2019 - 08:46

      Smashed avo at home is very cheap. Enjoy it there.

  • itsmehuey on 15/01/2019 - 14:01

    During the working week I IF, so I don't have any meals until about 11AM or sometimes lunch time. I leave my high carb meals before and after training on weekdays after work. On weekends I'll have a high carb (fast digesting carbs) meal such as Nutrigrain with fruit (bananas, mixed berries) and low fat milk or a protein shake blended with whey protein isolate, low fat milk, oats, banana, berries and high protein yoghurt such as chobani fit/yopro. That's a pre-workout meal for me in the mornings before I workout on weekends.

  • imurgod on 15/01/2019 - 14:24

    Just coffee… 3 or 4 espresso throughout the morning with no sugar

  • Pyrock on 15/01/2019 - 14:30

    100g of home made yogurt, 50g of toasted oats/muesli, 10-15g honey

  • JDogg1329 on 15/01/2019 - 15:04

    Espresso and a boiled egg

  • defro on 15/01/2019 - 16:45

    At the moment I'll fry up some basmati rice, mushrooms, garlic, 1 whole egg, 3-4 egg yolks, baby rocket and some sweet soy ketcupmanis sauce.

  • Gamer Dad Reviews on 15/01/2019 - 17:03

    2 eggs in fried loads of olive oil and smothered in a mountain of ground salt and cracked pepper and copious pinches of italian herbs, 1 tomato cut into quarters and fried in the same pan to soak up the excess oil, 1 slice of spelt sourdough toast with loads of butter, 1 cup of english breakfast tea with milk.

  • negger on 15/01/2019 - 17:35

    Half avacado, papaya, frozen mixed berries, nut mix, one scoop protein powder, museli and water blasted in Nutribullet + few coffees.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2019 - 17:43

    There will be skin fold testing at future OzBargain meetups.

  • Tuftsdude on 15/01/2019 - 18:01

    It can vary.

    • Usually nothing, it'll be brunch as I would wake up late or have things to do, so skip it.

    • scrambled eggs mixed with cheese or mashed potato or cut and fried potato + fried tomato, etc, etc. Sometimes I add broccoli and mushrooms.

    • Uncle Toby's oats with milk.

    • Feta cheese and tomato roll.

  • Egilmore on 15/01/2019 - 21:15

    Often skip breakfast, but when I don't it's usually Cornflakes and/or a banana. Lots of talk about cereal in general on this post, and mentions of a few in particular, but no one else has specifically said they eat Cornflakes… Am I the only one?

  • raymosaurus on 15/01/2019 - 22:05

    Often a bacon and egg toasted sandwich, but lately, usually two eggs on two slices of Vegemite toast, with plastic cheese melted in between.. delicious!!

  • Alan Fartridge on 15/01/2019 - 22:37

    2 boiled eggs and a black coffee. Quick and easy.

  • jerjergege on 16/01/2019 - 07:35

    Nothing… Eating early at 5-6am, makes me feel nauseated…

  • serpserpserp on 16/01/2019 - 08:44

    A lot of flaming on everyone's breakfast but here it is OP:

    At the moment it is thick cut sourdough toast with vegemite, with half an avocado and a little cracked pepper. Eating this almost every day for the last 3 months.

    When I have little time, weetbix (I try to eat the wholemeal ones when on special) with milk and a teaspoon of raw sugar.

    The above options are always followed by coffee.

    Should be noted that I often am awake for 3 or so hours before I eat breakfast. Then follow up with lunch 3 to 4 hours max later.

  • bohn on 16/01/2019 - 10:47

    Use my vitamix blender:

    1/4 cup traditional oats
    1/4 cup frozen raspberries
    half a banana
    1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    2 tablespoons of flax seeds
    handful of silverbeet/spinach
    dessert spoon of greek yoghurt
    1/2 cup water
    4 ice cubes

    Blend it up, drink with a glass smoothie straw.

  • jsediv on 16/01/2019 - 12:06

    $2.50 Maccas BLT

  • mrjames on 16/01/2019 - 12:37

    Lukewarm international roast followed by a cold donar kebab from the takeaway down the road topped off with a whiteox (no filter).

  • cupcake on 16/01/2019 - 14:17

    Since you asked, not weetbix with milk. It keeps me too regular and I don't have time for that.
    Nothing too milky as it can trigger the runs while I am commuting on the train.
    Can't have yoghurt either. I could be lactose intolerant but skim milk seems fine for me. Just not full cream milk.
    If honest, I normally don't even have time for breakfast before I leave the house!

  • MementoMori on 16/01/2019 - 15:32

    I intermittent fast and eat nothing until noon.

  • [Deactivated] on 16/01/2019 - 16:57

    Yawn!

  • malich on 16/01/2019 - 18:31

    I was getting stomach bloating regularly until I changed my breakfast habits.

    Previously I had toast with peanut butter.

    Now I have a bowl of soaked nuts with yoghurt and whatever random fruit is in season (currently apricots and berries).

    Surprisingly, this keeps me full for longer too.

    • inasero on 23/01/2019 - 09:39

      I'm curious as to why you soak the nuts?

      • malich on 23/01/2019 - 15:20

        I find they get stuck in my throat if I don't!

  • boatman on 16/01/2019 - 22:36

    Avocado (half) on toast, 3 boiled eggs, slice of smoked salmon, mixed berries, coffee.

    i eat death threats for breakfast

  • Brazilian-gainer on 16/01/2019 - 23:46

    Two whole grain bread slices. One with a full avocado mashed and another with peanut butter no sugar no oil added. Makes me feel strong until noon. I mix both and est like a sandwich

  • sharka on 17/01/2019 - 07:23

    Normally just a double shot short black coffee

  • [Deactivated] on 17/01/2019 - 07:35

    At the risk of sounding smug I have Cheerios, sprinkled with witch tit milk.

  • Duram on 17/01/2019 - 09:26

    At my desk at work:

    • 1 x banana
    • Approx 400ml of choc milk
  • bailbondsh on 17/01/2019 - 11:41

    usually toast, and something bigger for lunch when i'm actually hungry. Then exercise.

  • mysterytal on 17/01/2019 - 20:36

    Either Cornflakes (or some other cereal) and milk or Vegemite (or some other spread) on toast.

  • Bourb on 19/01/2019 - 14:26

    Black coffee, and two fried eggs with runny yolks, keeps me going until Lunch.

  • inasero on 21/01/2019 - 11:00

    3-4 boiled eggs

  • Tyler Gannal on 04/03/2019 - 10:12

    2 boiled eggs, apple juices and banana…I'm following my Apknite My Diet Coach app, this is for my diet, I need to lose some fat though…

    • inasero on 04/03/2019 - 12:19

      cut out the apple juice then, as it's mainly sugar
      have a whole apple instead which will give you fibre to keep you feeling full for longer

    • JojoGonal86 on 04/03/2019 - 18:09

      Hope that you means the homemade juices that you made your own. For my diet I use non-sugar homemade soybean milk, boiled egg and banana though.

  • the Unforgiven on 05/03/2019 - 11:20

    sausage in a toasted long roll, no sauce as the sausage is from a butcher not mass produced from supermarkets; but they are still good thou for bangers & mash :)

  • ofey on 28/03/2019 - 13:54

    Nothing.
    I have a glass of water with apple cider vinegar

    I don't eat anything before 1200hrs.
