What's for breakfast?

Just a slice of toast this morning. I had an optician's appointment and was running late.

Oh, kippers! I really love them! Boring old Weetabix for me today (I do actually like it, but can’t think why!).

Toasted brown bread, with honey and a banana. Yogurt drink and black, Earl Grey tea.
DH had put a jar of beetroot on the table?
(Instead of marmalade)

Kippers! Boil in the bag. With brown bread and butter.

It will be a full monty for brunch later on as we have friends for curry this evening and won’t bother with lunch/tea.

Porridge with blueberries and coconut sugar.

Avocado, sprinkle chilli flakes, tiny cubes of feta on toasted sourdough, double espresso with hot milk.

About to go out and walk some of it off!

porridge cooked with apple and blackcurrants

Boiled egg and soldiers.

Usually muesli with some fresh fruit eg chopped apple and plain yoghurt. I buy the Sainsbury's Basics one because it's got no added sugar and nice big oats and barley. It's pretty skimpy on nuts and fruit so I add those myself, often some apricots and almonds but I ring the changes every time. Probably chopped prunes and walnuts next time. A lot of muesli is quite powdery, oversweet and overpriced (ie Alpen).

My husband likes a cooked breakfast. His is usually wholemeal or granary toast with scrambled eggs or fried mushrooms., The bread is homemade by me as I can control the amount of salt as shop bought has a lot of salt.

There's always a pot of tea (loose leaf tea, much nicer) on the table too.

I’m on a 5:2 fast day today, so a big fat nothing. I’ll treat myself to a nectarine for lunch.

Just a boiled egg for me today.

Two slices of toast with goats cheese, no butter.
Alternative breakfast is porridge and banana.

I’ve had a very indulgent weekend - 2 (big) lunches out - so this morning I’m going to push breakfast on until mid-morning and then have just a piece of fruit. I’ve got a grapefruit in the fruit bowl.... or maybe a big, juicy nectarine ..... I know that I will feel better after a healthy day, with less food.

Greengran having read through the thread, I think we have a real range of breakfasts here from none at all to bacon butties and cooked breakfasts in many forms. I would think a pretty representive sample of what most people have.

OK none of us -admit to - start with a stiff whisky or shooting up, but I think that would be fairly unusual for our age range.

DH and I do the 16/8 fast in the week. At weekends DH has whatever he wants for breakfast. Often croissants and jam. I, as a reversed diabetic always have berries and Greek yogurt. Love it.

GreenGran, the unhealthy eaters were having tea and chocolate cake at 4am!

Are all Gransnetters such healthy eaters, or are the unhealthy eaters just hiding behind the sofa?

I never do breakfast during the week - the 16/8 diet keeps my weight down - but Sunday is always a toasted bacon butty on homemade bread, orange juice and strong coffee while reading the papers.

Nothing !!
I woke up, threw up tried to take my tablets, instantly threw up again.
Threw up again later and just before tea.
(Morning sickness my bum- all day sickness more like)?

I had what I have every day, 2 slices of toast spread with butter and marmite, extra strong espresso, followed by Greek yogurt, muesli and blueberries with a drizzle of honey, glass of orange juice and a vitamin tablet. Sounds a lot but I never eat lunch so it keeps me going until dinner at 6pm.

forgot to say - with salt and Black pepper!

Scrambled eggs on one slice of toasted (and buttered) spelt. The latter is smaller than the usual small loaf - but much better for you (no wheat or white flour).

Coffee, lots of, with the contents of the cream jug shared between my cup and the cat's saucer and later in the forenoon a bowl of yoghurt.

If I have worked hard between coffee and my later bowl of something, it tends to be porridge.

Sunday so no breakfast as such. Full English for brunch later.
