A handful of prescription meds and 2 glasses of water.

I'm another who drinks 'industrial quantities' of tea first thing along with prunes, dried apricots and dates, then a bit later I have an apple and some cake (homemade – the current one contains beetroot).

My innards are grateful for this regimen, with plenty of kale or other brassicas later in the day.

Two poached duck eggs on toast.

Same MrsKen for me. About 12:30-1 I’ll have Weetabix, prunes, blueberries and a banana.

Industrial quantities of tea. Had a cold at the beginning of the week and my appetite hasn't returned yet. Not a problem. Might lose a couple of lbs!

My usual breakfast is porridge with yogurt and berries, occasionally I will have crumpets. This morning I had a bacon sandwich because I found some bacon in the freezer.

Porridge with raspberries and a big mug of tea.

We are having toast with avocado, poached eggs and topped with streaky bacon. I don’t have butter so my toast is spread with marmite and the whole thing topped with chilli flakes it’s so yum.

Porridge, with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, Greek yoghurt and honey. I have this every day except on holiday when I'll have a full English.

Same every day except when staying in a hotel, when it would be a fry-up. But normally: pineapple juice, pot of tea, muesli, banana and honey marmalade on brown toast.

Nothing as yet! off swimming, if I eat it tends to repeat so I'll put it off, maybe have a banana and hot chocolate at my health club. after my swim. Any significant eating will occur later in the day, brunch of some sort!

I am glad for this thread.
I have got to the stage I am fed up with my usual choices for breakfast - cereal, occasional fry up, just toast.
I need inspiration.
I eat cereal for the milk. Swapped to a milky coffee to still get my milk.

We don’t eat breakfast as we have done 16-8 for several years now.
But if you take the meaning literally we break our fast around noon. Today we have a ham omelettes and fruit.

Full English on a Saturday, poached egg on toast or oatabix with dried apricots in the week.

Breakfast is the same every day, two slices of toast with goat's cheese. If I am extra hungry I will have a yogurt and maybe a kiwi.

I was up at six, ate yoghurt, granola, mango and a large latte at seven - but I'm in one of those hungry modes so might have some bacon later!
