Me, I had a fat-free toasted english muffin with peanut butter, and a cup of tea. This is my usual breakfast at home, with few variations. Sometimes it’ll be cheese instead of peanut butter, and sometimes I’ll throw in a piece of fruit as well. My favourite breakfast is Eggs Benedict. I don’t know if I could still handle the rich sauce after dieting for so long, but I could probably eat a half-order. More likely when I go out for breakfast or make it at home, it’s pancakes. My husband does not have an appreciation for breakfast foods; he likes hash browns, but not much else. He usually doesn’t eat until lunchtime. What did you have today for breakfast, is that your usual, and what’s your very favourite breakfast? Mods: I put this in IMHO as it is a poll. If you feel it needs to go to Cafe Society, please move it. ---

I had two bacon, egg and cheese Lean Pocket sandwiches (total 14g of protein) and a cup of no-sugar-added chocolate milk, for an additional 11g of protein. Since my surgery, I haven’t settled into a “usual” breakfast. Whatever has a decent amount of protein and sounds appealing is what I usually go with. I used to do whole-grain cereal with 2% milk every morning, but it has lots of carbs, with little protein return. ---

Hehehehe - Before I start I’d like to say I didn’t eat like this before I was pregnant! 1 x crispy bacon roll with ketchup 1 x pint glass of fresh orange juice 1 large bottle of San Pelligrino water 1 large dish of raw chopped tomatoes, onions & green beans with balsamic vinegar 1 large chopped mango … and I was still hungry when I’d finished. ---

Yesterday: Two hard-boiled eggs, one slice of toast with sugar-free strawberry preserves, orange juice and coffee. Seven points. Today: Four Daylight Donuts, two cups of coffee and a bear claw. I don’t give a shit how many points. ---

I’m eating Cheez-its even as I type. I usually have a piece of fruit and some cheese, but I didn’t get to the store yesterday. ---

I’m eating it right now… 2 tomatoes from the garden, sliced up with pepper and garlic salt and a handfull of squeeky fresh cheese curds. This is the base of what I eat all summer long, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mix in olives avacados, triscuits or salami depending on my mood and what’s in the house. ---

Packet of instant noodles, two glasses of water. Normally the noodles are Tiger brand, crispy duck flavour. Eaten at my desk. But I didn’t make it to the supermarket this weekend, and there’s only one place in town that sells Tiger brand. So I had Blue Dragon Thai flavour. Not the same thing at all. ---

I haven’t had breakfast yet, but it will be two eggs fried over-hard with two pieces of toast (margarine and blackberry preserves), some vanilla yogurt, and a tall glass of OJ. Right now I’m drinking my coffee, and wishing for a smoke (after reading about all of you smokers enjoying the Breakfast of Champions). ---

My husband and I had some early morning errands, so we stopped at Starbucks on the way. I had a medium latte and one of those big sugar cookies with the M&Ms for breakfast. ---

On Thursdays (our Saturday), I go to Fuddrucker’s for a breakfast steak platter. Then I get a shave, haircut and a massage. My ‘Morning of Beauty.’ ---
