Breakfasts...
Do you eat it? What do you have? Do you think it is the most important meal of the day?
I personally have cereal during the week, i never used to eat breakfast, typically a fag and a cuppa, and since I’ve given up smoking I started having cereal during the week.
In the job I have I may not get a chance to stop from 8am till typically 6pm so need to start the day with something in me :twisted: rolleyes noooo not that sadely i live alone lol
I also think with children it does help concentration and therefore school work, well as long as its a healthy breakfast and not pumping them up with e numbers and chocolate first thing.
I’m prompted to write this as I’m sat in bed craving my Saturday morning bacon and mushroom sarnie, on toasted wholemeal with reggae sauce.
So what do you have?

and per ewghhh to those who have marmite on toast
Porridge...
with a bit o' marmite drizzled over the top.
.
A fag. :smoke:
Don't eat brekkie during the week, but as I was up at 6am this morning I decided on a bacon sarnie with ketchup on luffly thick bread - but now I'm bloody stuffed and sat here with a coffee n a cig
I'm on a low-carb eating plan so today I'm having a chorizo and vegetable omelette. I always have breakfast, and it usually involves eggs. I'm lucky in that I can cook something after I've got the kids off to school, otherwise I probably wouldn't bother.
I've been on a massive lifestyle changing regime for the last 6 weeks.
Gone are the coffee, fried egg/sausage/bacon sarnies and several fags in the morning... replaced with porridge ( cholestorol lowering properties) and skimmed milk. Especially nice with some fresh fruit on the filling, warming and you just know that its full of goodness.
I do miss my full english brekkies and fried gear.... but that shit will kill ya one day....saturated fat and all that salt will damage your heart, and before you know it... bang, heart attack.
Its true what they say about weightloss/wellbeing being achieved by eating balanced meals during the day.... start with a good healthy brekkie
Being able to cook helps alot too though.... processed food is potentially artery clogging and much of it has hidden levels of fats , sugars and salts so even though one might be having a proper breakfast, the goodness in it can be wiped out by what you have for lunch or your evening meal.
I was a complete carb junky... now i eat like the dieticians recommend...have quit smoking and am consistently losing the weight I put on eatin shite.
well done you femme
wink
ps. if anyone wants a copy of a chart I have showing foods to "fill your boots", "limit /use occasionally" or " avoid at all costs" as drawn up by the British heart foundation, contact me..... or simply have a heart attack and they give you one in hospital :!:

smackbottom you just had to do it, didn't you?
Yoghurt and a banana for me usually.

i never realised how easy it is to make poridge, i probally dont do it the correct way, but oats in a bowl, add milk, bung in microwave 2 mins jobs done.
i only have bacon on a saturday, and its lean and grilled. i do sometimes crave a full fried english, but i resist.
cant really make fried bread with wholemeal bread, and we dont buy white.
for a fat bird i think my gp was midely peved when thay ran a full set of tests and it came back as cholestoral at a really healthy level and same with blood pressure lol i could see he was hoping to say i was about to die lol

Near enough fem, I tend to give it 3 mins on account of the timer being wafty and then clean up the inside of the microwave afterwards. lol
i do mine on the hob...with the more natural oats... with bran If i can get it.
much easier, less processed than ready brek in terms of salts and additives... needs sweetening (unless ure Scots) so use a bit of honey or fruit...
I have Oatibix in the week but I have it when I get to work. I can't eat first thing, I need to be up and about for a while before I do breakfast. But I need the milk to be really cold and from an unopened carton. I never, ever, ever use milk from an opened carton.
People at work think I'm weird. :silly:

go to publications.... search for "cut out the saturated fat"

Or alternatively eat a low GI food like porridge!

I tend towards two shifts in the microwave 1m 30secs a quick stir fer consistent creaminess and then a top up of a minute. Not bad made with water either - honey drizzled on top or a chopped banana and that's as healthy a breakfast as you could wish for.

Better? :giggle:
I like cereal, usually weetabix or bran flakes. Need to lose a lot of post op weight so I'm trying to get into the habit again. First stop is usually a fag though redface :smoke:
Today was weetabix, sometimes it is just fruit when I get into work confused

And lunch tomorrow? dunno
fags & coffees... multiple. I'm greedy at breakfast
lp
redface guilty of being a breakfast skipper most days.
Maybe I need to get into this porridge malarkey; never appealed really.
Sex for breakfast! Sex for dinner! Sex for tea! And sex for supper! lol is my preferred choice
Actual choice is weetabix, golden nuggets, or toast which serves as breakfast come dinner as I don't eat first thing either
i usually head off to work after some rooibosch tea and some yoghurt. then I wait until late morning and find a nice place to have a decent lunch. a proper lunch not a fry up or a snack.
I think taste linked to appetite and knowing what is right for you; all combine to keep your weight at a healthy level.
I think the key factor is in generating a good appetite. if I am hungry enough and active enough and choose a sensible meal, I will burn it off okay.
I still love a really well done fry up and will eat one at least once a month.
Toast with jam or marmite Monday to Friday
Bacon rolls Saturday and Sunday.
During the week it is coffee as soon as I get up and then banana and yogurt when I get in work. Ocassionally I have one of those Oat so simple things which I can just bung in the microwave at work. Prefer 'proper' porridge but with my cooking skills, its a bit too messy for work redface
At weekends, normally skip breakfast cause Im up later and have a late brunch, normally some combination of tomatoes, mushrooms bacon, beans, poached egg, with a slice of toast wink (not all of them together I will hasten to add, just one of two of them with a piece of toast)
I think its the most important meal of the day and I often miss it altogether.
My dream breakfast is:
Sausage (not too meaty not too fatty grilled)
Bacon (Dry cured smoked fried until just crispy)
Eggs ( Fried in olive oil)
Tinned whole plum tomatoes
Mushrooms (fried in butter)
Presentation is important and the bacon and sausage should form a central wall with the eggs to one side and the tomatoes n mushroom to the other.
A cup of strong traditional tea.
I will of course accept any kind of breakfast if my hunger has arisen from passion.
Anybody else as fussy as me about a fry up?
Breakfast for me is usually a yoghurt, or half a flap jack , i save the other half for elevenses confused
I`m fussy about my fry ups too, the wall of bacon and sausage is essential to hold in all the lovelly tomato juice mixed with egg yolk, makes it easier to mop up with a slice of bread then
have to admit i stopped off this mornin at macdonalds on the way home from the cov social and had a bacon sausage and egg mcmuffin .......
mmmmm aint had one for yearsssssss but it was luverllyyyyy was gone in 2 seconds flat redface surprisedops:
usually i have special k bit of a difference !!! i know but you have to indulge ya self sometimes dont ya lol
I can't eat anything before about 11am, the it's not worth it :P
If I have breakfast my stomach rumbles from 10 am until I eat. If I don't I'm fine until lunch. People say that breakfast helps you lose weight - I'm afraid my experience is exactly the opposite.
I like a good breakfast - but on work days I wouldn't have time for anything more complicated than throwing some cereal and milk in a bowl. So there's no point.
Now a nice fatty fry-up is lovely - but no earlier than 10 I think. biggrin
Breakfast in the week is a strange beast as I start early and have to travel. Consequently early eating is en-route, choccy bar and a banana. Once the time sensitive part of the day is over it's usually cereals and mullerrice in the car park.
Weekend is totally different and I usually put a bit of effort in. Cereals with fruit, tasted swiss museli loaf (full of fruit and whole hazel nuts), freshly squeezed orange juice and a mug of tea. This is usually taken at the breakfast table, but on the odd occasion in bed follwed by some rather satisfying snuggling under the duvet. It's very difficult to snuggle on an empty stomach.
