M. Leary Report post Posted March 17, 2005 I don't eat breakfast. But if'n I did, it would involve grits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane Report post Posted March 17, 2005 And you've never lived in the South? (It's a common misconception down here that if you travel outside of the South and order grits at a restaurant, you'll either get a blank stare because no one's heard of them, or you'll get a weird look because people think they're disgusting.) BTW, cheese grits are the best.Actually, I am curious about how many people skip breakfast. I sort of wish I could do it. Would save some time in the morning. All during college, I tried to speed things along by drinking those Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks. Talk about something that got old fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diane Report post Posted March 17, 2005 This is an interesting statement in contradiction, "good for you" and "bagel slathered with light cream chees" but I like it. Bagels are difficult to resist.←HA! You're right, of course. Actually, I switched to Special K cereal for a while last year. After gaining a few pounds, I went back to bagels...and lost a few pounds! Totally weird, but I'm not complaining! (Of course, the yoga routine might have had something to do with that.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Three eggs (over medium), three sausage links, small glass of low-carb grapefruit juice, two cups of coffee.This is typical, so I won't bore everyone with daily updates.I will say, though, that I never had "big breakfasts" until college, and only then realized that I'd been depriving/starving myself for years, wondering why my stomach would growl repeatedly (*that* was mortifying) in class long before my lunch period, which began at 10:20 a.m.! I mean, I loved cold cereal, but it didn't hold me for more than an hour... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrel Manson Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Most mornings: Oatmeal Crisp (Raisin) cereal, tea, probably a banana (keep that potassium up).Occaisionally, instant oatmeal for the cereal.If I feel ambitious, I'll make some fake egg scrambled eggs, probably with onions, cheese and maybe alfalfa sprouts.Usually on Sat., my wife makes something much better than anything I do.If I'm on the road and eating breakfast out, I may go with an omelet, but I'm a sucker for good biscuits and gravy.

Ann D. Report post Posted March 17, 2005 I skip breakfast usually. When I don't, it mostly consists of what's available in the company cafeteria. Usually eggs and/or hashbrowns (what I had this morning), or a poppyseed or banana nut muffin. I do, however, always get water. It's the first thing I do when I walk into the office. That's about as routine as my morning breakfast gets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SZPT Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Weekday breakfast usually varies from cereal to something sweet to some sort of egg variety. All this at home. Barring that I hit Whataburger for a taquito, hash browns, and orange juice.On Saturdays I usually whip up my famous french toast for the family.Sundays we have food at the gathering.

Denny Wayman Report post Posted March 17, 2005 I drink a juice with ALL-ONE vitamins in it. If I could afford the weight I would have pancakes, bacon and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Instead I have a juice with powdery vitamins. Denny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crow Report post Posted March 17, 2005 I usually have a Nutri-grain breakfast bar (Blueberry and Apple Cinnamon), or a couple of eggs, over easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethR Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Usually, Kashi with soy milk (Silk brand is best), coffee with half-and-half (this may seem contradictory, but works for us.), a glass of water. Sometimes OJ.Sometimes a bagel with peanut-butter or light cream cheese.This morning, because we have both been too busy to shop for groceries, I had a piece of whole-wheat toast with light cream cheese, the usual coffee and the rest.Which reminds me, I'm going to have to stop at the grocery store on my way home...

amo Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Generally, I have my own special oatmeal concoction, consisting of about 3/4 oatmeal, 1/4 granola, and either a sprinkle of cinnamon or a spoonful of peanut butter, but not both. However, I keep frozen waffles in the freezer for those days when oatmeal just doesn't quite cut it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrimsonLine Report post Posted March 18, 2005 Pretty much every morning:a bowl of Life cereal with skim milka half a grapefruita small bowl of cottage cheese with a dash of garlic salta V8I LOVE grits. My ideal breakfast is two fluffy pancakes with butter, two eggs scrambled, bacon, grits (butter and salt), and a tall glass of OJ. With FAKE maple syrup over everything but the grits and the juice.
